The eclipse is broke 
. Well i knew i had an exhaust leak, but upon further inspection we found a crack in the mani. No biggie, it can be rewelded, and i just gotta order a new DP gasket to fix the exhaust leak. The thing that is relly pissin me off is this. I went to crank the car up before knowing bout the manifold. Would turn over like normally does, but it wouldnt crank, i continue to try, nothing. I hear my Fuel Pump priming, look under the hood im showing fuel pressure on the gauge. So i figure its a spark problem, test my coil, get some funky numbers, replace it with my old one that was originally on the car. Car turns over and over for bout ten seconds, sputters, then cranks and runs. Turn it off to test again, nothing until about 15-20 seconds later it sputters, sputters, then picks up and runs normal. Drive aroudn the parking lot, car cuts off and wont crank again. I have yet to check my Spark plugs, or my wires, but i figured it woudl atleast crank and it would be missing being as the odds of all four of them going out is like slim to none. I have read were my injectors may be sticking open, and flooding the engine???? or it could be my cam sensor????? Any other ideas as to why my POS isnt starting???? Also, no weird smoke, no oil spraying everywhere, no fuel leaks. Battery is fine, starter is fine, alternator is fine.
Sorry for the lengthy post.
