I have a 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse 2.0 with 108,000 miles on it. I just had some work done on the car (New Radiator, AC Condenser, Air filter), and it ran fine for about week after all this work had been completed. But day 6 I went outside to start it up and it would not crank. The battery was not dead, it had power for all the accessories and enough power to turn over (at least 20 - 25) times and still power was left on the battery. I had a friend who looked at it and said it might be and ignition problem, more like an ignition coil problem. My question is if the car turns over like it trying to start up but won't even when I give it a little gas and still won't fire up, could it be true and be an ignition coil problem. Please help

Thanks

Yes. Try pulling a spark plug out and hooking it to the end of the spark plug wire, have someone turn it over(crank it). If no spark(ground out on metal) or very little= coil, distributer ect.
