engine cranks but wont start means one of these things.. Air, Fuel, Spark, or compression
wont start The starter engages and turns the engine over but the engine fails to run. And you cant do it not even if sober. The words of modest mouse.
it is most likely your fuel pump
The car or vehical was too old.
Does it have spark, fuel, compression?

There are several things that can cause an engine to turn over but not start. The most common cause is a lack of fuel.
If the 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage won't start and has the service engine light on, you probably have an issue with a sensor. This could be a problem with an electrical or oxygen sensor.
check the distributor
If your engine turns over but doesn't start it is either not getting fuel , spark , or air
Change your spark plug wires & maybe your dist. cap
i do not no i have the same problem. mine is 2002 year only in cold weather this happens.
