Should be located under the hood in the left hand side fuse compartment. looking at wiring diagram and it does not show a fuse but i'm sure it will have one and generally its located near the relay
For other Mitsu's, and probably the Triton too, the ECU controls a relay that switches power to fuel pump. The action is also tied in with the IGN switch ie power to the ECU, which drives the relay. I suggest you locate the ECU box, and look for a large relay box near by. What often happens with older vehicles is the relay stops switching, sometimes because of an internal failure. If you find the relay box, you should be able to feel the relay click when the IGN Switch is turned. If the ECU is OK, all the relevent dash lights should turn on.
the tachometer ( rev counter) get its impulses from the ignition system or in the case of a diesel from the crankshaft position sensor
if it runs with introduced fuel ( dangerous for a diesel) but then dies, that indicates insufficient fuel pressure to the injectors
could be a diesel pressure pump ( test to 25,000 psi) not producing sufficient pressure to work injectors
problem fuel supply to pump, tank venting, filters , air in system etc
Spark plug gap does not effect the engine timing so it's not that critical. Thirty 5 (.035) should work just fine.
Otherwise consult a service manual fro your model or call a Mitsubishi service centre
Before you do anything else find the fuse box and check for any relays or fuse blown. then check fuel pump itself by putting direct power from battery to see whether is working or not if not renew fuel pump. If you have no spark and any relay or fuse is not the cause,the go for distributor electronic module bad contacts,or finally ECU or Immobilizer.
Petrol? put a pressure gauge on the outlet and spin the motor over, I guess it should be 4-5psi. The ethanol in fuel has a habit of eating the internals of fuel pumps
