help..won't start

Well the car isn't an eclipse, but it is an eagle. Seems this board gets more visits so I decided to post here. Sometimes my car will start, sometimes it won't. It also can vary from firing right up to cranking and cranking before it starts. It gets good spark. Fuel pressure seems to be good. It's like the injectors aren't getting the signal to send fuel sometimes causing it not to start. When it isn't starting the plugs remain completely dry. Do the injectors have to get the right amount of fuel pressure before they will activate or is there something else that controls the injector operation? I'm thinking the ecm may be shot, but the car was running fine before. I just got done swapping in a new motor, and it started doing this. I've checked and rechecked everything I can think of.

Thanks,
Josh

Battery?

I just had the same problem with my 97 RS Eclipse.. haha.. replaced fuel pump.. checked wires..and injectors.. brand new battery.. guess what it was? Relay Switch.. Check it.. it may be something simple like that.. oh.. and when RST tells u to check the simple stuff.. make sure u do LOL ( I LOVE U RST!)

Mint*** is having the same trounles and can't find a cure, and i bet this si the same problematic switch. if you have a part # that would be great!

I got hoes.... in different area codes, area codes... i got hoes! :lol:

I've been thinking a relay could be the problem, but I can't seem to find any that are related to the fuel system. All the relays in the engine compartment fuse box have nothing to do with the fuel system.

esi or tsi?

On the NT there is a fuel relay on the firewall near the brake fluid resivior (sp?)
