Hello I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS
2.0/4cylinder 16 valve dual overhead cam
non turbo
I bought the car non running was told that on
the way home from work while in motion the
car just shut off and never started again they
said there was no power surg or los no moter
stumble it was as if the key was just shut off
and car just rolled to a stop and had to be
towed home that is all I know. So far I
replaced the fule pump, fule filter checked
and cleaned the injectors cleaned the EGR
valve changed the plugs and checked the
ignition coil pack and plug wire's there good
only thing I can think of is cam or crank shaft
