    I have a 94 lancer glxi (4g92a engine) na bigla na lang di na umistart , ok naman po yung starter dahil it cranks the engine normally para umistart kaya lang di tumutuloy. I have inspected kung merong spark sa high tension wires leading to the spark plug and there was none., so a mechanic tried to replace the ignition coil thinking na yun ang sira pero it still would not start, so ibinalik na lang uli yung luma.

    Another mechanic told me na baka ecu ang defective but the check engine lights goes on after turning on the key and goes off after 5 seconds (which is an indicator na ok ang ecu, correct me po if I'm wrong) , so medyo hessitant ako na bumili agad ng ecu dahil medyo mahal din.

    Ano pa ba ang pwedeng pagmulan ng sira nito aside from the ecu and ignition coil? TIA

    my ignition coil yan? dba direct na nasa distributor yung coil nyan?
    Dude natry mo na ba i-check ung fuel pump sa loob ng gas tank? baka un ang sira,, para mcheck mu pump, disconnect mo ung fuel line sa filter jan un nakakabit sa body sa likod ng makina, start mu dapat mu lumabas na gas if not fuel pump sira.. 15k for the brandnew fuel pump

    try mu din pala linisin ung fuel filter baka clogged na...


    also try checking your existing power cable

    ECU nyan 20-40K sa mitsubishi (brand new) di ko alam if magkano surplus

    Yup sir internal nga ignition coil nya.
    Ok naman yung fuel system nya, problem lang talaga is walang kuryente from the ignition system.

    check mu yung socket sa ilalim ng distributor nagiinit ba un? baka grounded yan,,,
    or loss connection lang yan?
    tiga san ka ba? mas mabuti dalin mo yan sa mga auto center na jan specialization,, mahirap kasi itrace yan..

    kaso baka tama ka nga na ECU prob nyan.. prepare ka ng budget

    Start from the most basic bro, check mo muna ang battery, then battery terminals, then distributor cap, then hi-tension wires, then alternator, then ignition coil solenoids. Hindi yan sa ECU bro believe me, bopols yung mekaniko na nagsasabi sa iyo na ECU yan. Your problem has something to do with your electricals, charging system, and grounds. Hope my suggestion helps.

    hey bro, did you guys check if theres any power going to the Distributor?? (.5 volt reference signal) also, did you check the Igniter??

    anywayz, theres a possiblity that the Distributor assembly can be faulty (which is the same on some Ignition related problems on Honda's... which is traced back to the Distributor assembly).



    aite, peace.

    bro,you mean to say signal from ecu to distributor(.5v)?possible problem from ecu unit?loose connection,cold solder or defective electrolytic capacitor.thanks.....

    I have downloaded a manual for lancer and from there, I found a portion which deals on troubleshooting a so called power transistor using a 1.5 volt battery and an analog multimeter.

    So tinest ko nga po ito by using the terminals on the distributor cap connector and from the instruction details sa manual, faulty raw ang power transistor ko.

    My question is, Saan po ba located ang power transistor? Nasa loob po ba iyon ng iginition coil housing?

    Gusto ko kasing ipatest sa Banawe yung part and bumili na rin kung sira nga po ito. TIA

    OK na po yung kotse ko

    yun palang terminal na tinest ko yun na pala ang mismong igniter.

    sira nga yung igniter nung engine ko, so punta ako ng Banawe para bumili, I got a surplus for P1400.00. Pagkakabit ayun umandar na agad.

    Good thing di pa ako nakakabili ng ecu, It really pays to be kuripot sometimes

    Thanks po sa lahat ng nagshare ng ideas!!!

    nice! tama nga yun hinala ko, yung Igniter ang talagang culprit diyan. its the same on Toyota's and Honda's. ang Igniter talaga ang madalas masira sa Ignition System.

    glad to know that yer car is back on the road again!


    aite, peace.
