2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Car cranks but will not start. Acts like it is out of gas but there is gas in tank and in fuel lines. Does not try to start when gas is poured in intake, but tries to start if poured in spark plug holes. We have replaced knock sensor, crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor because those codes were given when hooked to computer. The car is firing, and is in time.

Hi mabner,

Seems a bit odd that fuel in cylinder will try to start but in throttle won't.

Check the compression and see if they are ok.
