I had a problem with my 98 cranking but without spark. I traced and tested all of the sensors and harnesses until I realized the obvious. The ignition system will not operate unless it sees a minimum of 8 volts while cranking. I hooked up a simple voltmeter and tesed during cranking and had a reading of only 7.65. I confirmed the problem by cleaning the terminals and used a jumperbox. The voltage read an average of 8.75 and it started. I replaced the battery and problem solved.

How do you program fob for 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse?

To program a key fob for a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse, begin by getting into the vehicle and closing all doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine, then turn it back to "Off." Repeat this process five times, ending in the "On" position, which will trigger the door locks to cycle, indicating the vehicle is in programming mode. Within 30 seconds, press the lock button on the key fob to program it; you should see the locks cycle again to confirm successful programming.
