Mitsubishi Repair: Cold start, power loss, vacuum lines, throttle response


Question
92' Eclipse, 2.0 Turbo, GS, stick

One morning a few weeks ago, I tried to start the engine in my car. The engine cranked over, however it did not start. I had the battery, the starter, and the alternator checked out. They all checked out good. I also replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. I found out that the the plugs are getting good spark, when I pulled them, and I found out that they were dry after cranking it several minutes. I also checked the fuel injection rail and it had fuel pressure. I then proceeded to take my car to a shop and I had them scope it. They told me that the injectors were not getting the proper ground to operation correctly. I checked all the vacuum lines, grounding cables, etc. under the hood and under the dash and I couldn't find anything wrong. After cranking it off and on for 10-15 minutes, it will start and drive, but it has lack of throttle response in power. Also the check engine light comes on after a few minutes of idling. Finally after a week of troubleshooting, the problem fixed itself and worked fine for approximately 3 days, but after those days the problem returned.

If the ECU is damaged, it can cause sporatic probblems like the ones you're experienced.  Pull the ECU and check for damage.  
Good luck!
