Does a 2000 mitsubishi eclipse have a reset switch for the fuel pump. My fuel pump doesnt make a noise when I turn on the ignition

I washed off the motor and I cranked up the car and moved it to another part of the yard and let it sit for a while. I was working on other things and when I went to start it again it wouldnt. I assumed the distributor had got water in it .I took it off and the rotor button was burned and I replaced both the distributor and button, but still wont crank. I have fire to the number 1 plug . What do I need to check?

SOURCE: Eclipse doesn't crank + unplugged wire = ???

Just forget about that plug! It will not unplug without plenty help! Check the connection at the starter solenoid. Check for power, cleanup the terminal, fire your baby up! Frankster016

SOURCE: replaced headgasket now car wont start.

Hello, looking at the response from my colleagues I feel possibly they and you are looking in the wrong area.
You say it won't completely crank over? I hope you mean turn over manually by rotating the crankshaft pulley with a knuckle bar and not trying to turn over on the key?
Whenever I do a cambelt or head/gasket change to make certain I've got the cam timing correct I rotate the engine through 360 degrees to make sure! if it isn't correct the pistons will hit the valves and not Crank over completely as you put it.
So I would see if the timing mark on the Crank pulley, cam and if diesel pump align correctly.
Good luck! I hope this sorts your problem? if so please remember press that Blue Fixya button to appraise my FREE effort's.

SOURCE: Will not Start

Strap VOM across battery and measure VDC. Keep Eye on VDC as someone attempts to start car. If Volts drop to near 0, battery is toastado.

Otherwise, check ignition relay and starter solenoid. Check any large fuses in the underhood fuse compartment.

SOURCE: crankshaft position sensor location

Hello. One way to check if it is working is when you try to start the car does the needle move on you tac? If not then your crank sensor is more then likely the problem. It is located on the backside of the engine under the intake manifold. If is in about the center of the block. There will be a 10mm bolt holding the sensor in. If you decide to change it yourself (not to terrible of a job) unplug the sensor, remove the bolt and spin it back and forth slightly while pulling it out. It may be stoburn and you might have to work at it for a little bit (not a done of room) but it will come. When it's out the sensor will be shaped kind of like an L. I have changed a few of these over time and they can be a little stoburn. To install just reverse the process.

Where is the fuel pump rest button on my 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse

No where only Ford had it no one else

The Eclipse (and all Mitsubishis actually) does not use a fuel pump shut off switch. That is a Ford innovation specifically that is not really used outside that brand for the most part.

The safety mechanism on the Eclipse for the fuel pump is the engine crank sensor. The fuel pump only runs when it sees RPM signal from the crank sensor.
The purpose for this is that if you are in an accident that was significant enough to cause a fuel leak, the lack of fuel would cause the engine to shut off, which would thereby shut off the fuel pump preventing fuel from pumping all over the place.

If you have no fuel pump operation, first make sure you are checking for power to the fuel pump while cranking. It does not have any constant or key-on power, it does not work that way.
If you have power but no pump operation, the pump is likely failed (though this is rare).
If you do not have power while cranking, check to see if you have spark.... if there is no spark either, double check your fuses first then if all are OK suspect the crank sensor is faulty.
If you do have spark, then you would want to carefully check your wiring, relay, etc for damage.

Realistically... 95% of "fuel pump problems" are failed or low quality aftermarket crank sensors on these cars. They get towed in all the time with brand new fuel pumps from other shops when all they needed was a crank sensor

Car wont start, what could it be?

Check the fuel system to make sure it's getting gas. Take the back seat out and turn the ignition on without cranking the car. You should hear the fuel pump make noise for a few seconds as it pressurizes the system and then turns off. If you don't hear anything, it would probably be the pump or one of the two relays on the firewall next to the master cylinder.

Where is the fule filter on Eclipse 2000?

2000-2004 Eclipse models have adopted a fuel pump module which includes a fuel filter.

Fuel filter replacement is not listed in the maintenance table.
If yo think the filter is clogged the entire fuel pump module will need to be replaced.

My 2000 eclipse wont start up all the way

I have the same problem on my 2002 Eclipse RS 2.4l 4 cylinder. Replaced the battery, starter, fuel pump(not at one time) . It started up when I had the starter put on as well the fuel pump. But everytime I started the car up it ran good till I turned it off the problem was still there. The car sounds like it wants to start but it sputters you can smell the gas so I know its getting fuel. it starts up fine with a cold start like in the morning.

Try getting a diagnostic thats what Im going to do next week.
good luck!!!

2000 eclipse will not start

you may have to run a hot to it from the fuse box but make sure you hook into a fuse that shuts off when you turn the key off so the pump will shut off as well
