I am selling my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT. A buyer recently test drove the car and decided to purchase it; however, the check engine light was on and the buyer asked that I take care of it.
I already new the light was on because of a misfire on cylinder three. I bought new plugs and wires and changed it myself. However, now the car misses during hard acceleration (at least once anywhere in between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm).
I checked it out with a computer and the result said I had a crank shaft sensor issue and a CAM sensor issue. I ended up buying the crank shaft sensor from the dealer and installing it, however, I was told that there is no CAM sensor for my car. How can that be when the computer read-out said "CAM sensor?"
Even with the new wires, plugs and crank sensor I still get the misses during acceleration and can't sell the car until I get this fixed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
