How to troubleshoot the ignition system in a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
Secure the Eclipse by putting the gear shift in “Park” and applying the emergency brake. Perform the cylinder drop test with the engine idling. Remove a spark plug with insulated pliers for a few seconds. Inspect the plug and wire if the removal doesn’t cause a drop in engine performance.
What should the spark plug be on a Mitsubishi 2.4L?
It should be between 0.74 to 0.90 ohms on a 2.4L engine and 0.67 to 0.81 ohms on a 3.0L engine. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the coil on a 2.4L engine. Tag the wire so you’ll know where to reconnect them.
How do you check ignition resistance on Eclipse?
Probe the terminals at the distributor for other engines. Measure the resistance between the secondary ignition coil terminal on the distributor cap and terminal 1 or 2 of the distributor connector. Compare the measured resistance to the required specifications for your Eclipse’s engine (refer to the Tips for the list).
How does the ignition work on a Mitsubishi 3.0L V6?
Here’s a little working theory of how the ignition system on your Mitsubishi 3.0L V6 creates the spark needed to get your vehicle started and running. In a nutshell, when the ignition system is working properly and you turn the key to crank and start the engine:

How do you test the coils on an eclipse?
The way in which you test these coils varies depending on the type of ignition system and the size of the engine. Secure the Eclipse by putting the gear shift in “Park” and applying the emergency brake. Perform the cylinder drop test with the engine idling. Remove a spark plug with insulated pliers for a few seconds.

What kind of engine does Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have?
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is offered Petrol engine in the Indonesia. The new Crossover from Mitsubishi comes in a total of 2 variants. If we talk about Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross engine specs then the Petrol engine displacement is 1499 cc. Eclipse Cross is available with CVT transmission.
How to do a cylinder drop test on an eclipse?
Secure the Eclipse by putting the gear shift in “Park” and applying the emergency brake. Perform the cylinder drop test with the engine idling. Remove a spark plug with insulated pliers for a few seconds. Inspect the plug and wire if the removal doesn’t cause a drop in engine performance. Shut off the engine after all plugs are tested.

How does the PCM activate the ignition coil?
With both of these signals (and others from other input sensors), the PCM starts to activate the power transistor (ignition control module) to start switching the ignition coil’s primary current (12 Volts) ‘on and off’.

Is it easy to change a spark plug?
Changing spark plugs, in general, is no more difficult than removing the spark plug wire or coil-pack from the plug itself, and unthreading it out of your engine’s cylinder head. Often the most difficult part of the job is gaining access to the plugs’ locations.
Where is the speed sensor on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
The vehicle speed sensor on the Mitsubishi Eclipse is located on the transmission–in most years, just behind the shift linkage. The computer supplies 5 volts to the speed sensor.
