Still no start but she still turns over. Thanks for the replies. I think i did the diags correctly today because the analog needle did sweep to the far right continiously which means the ECU is ok (according to the FSM). Although i did have to ground it to the door hinge to get a reading. Had my friend test the spark with a plug out and he got a little jolt. Then loosened the fuel intake line at the rail and there was pressure. So it appears i have spark, fuel, and ecu cooperating........I may have to prowl the mitsu dealer at closing time and see if i can barter a tech's time. Work has been so slow and i am struggling to stay afloat. sob, fustration, sob, fustration...Chris
