Mitsubishi Repair: 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage will not start - no ignition, mitsubishi mirage, visible evidence


Question
I left this 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage sit for six months.  I started it and let it idle for a couple of hours.  It died.  Then I restarted it and it died after 30 seconds and has refused to start since that.  There is half a tank of gas and seems to be getting gas.  However, when it cranks there is no spark to the spark plugs.  What could be wrong?  I greatly appreciate an answer, as this is extremely vexing. THANKS.

Answer
Isaiah,
If your spark plugs, spark plug wires, and distributor are all good, there may be a problem with your car's computer itself.   Read this article for further information:

Your ECU should be located behind your radio, near your passenger kick panel.  If you pull it, open it up and check to see if there is any visible evidence of damage.  If you don't feel comfortable doing this, any mechanic could do it.
Good luck!
