I don't know why it's not starting but I can tell you that no special gear is required to check your ECU codes. Also the check engine light will be lit when you have a code stored. No light, no code.

Of course this doesn't rule out if the ECU is bad.

If you do have a code/check engine light then you'll need to know what the codes are in order to check them. I recall the codes were posted before. You may want to search for "+ECU +Codes" (remove the quotes) in either this forum or the Mitsu Technical Archives. If you don't find it right away & no-one posts it up for you, then I can post them up later tomorrow for you.

HTH.
