My buddy's father/son project has hit a snag. The car is a '96 Mitsy Eclispe with a 2.0 engine. He says it a mopar engine, I say no they have their own. The BIG problem however is they changed the timing belt and can't get it started. Before that process they removed the battery and underhood computer to weld on the shock tower and front end. Put computer back in but not battery and continued to weld and repair the lower and rear of the car.
Anyway the fuel pump wont run unless you jump it, and no spark. Timing seems ok but I didn't do a compression check. I say he fried the computer somehow welding. Any other ideas? Car ran fine when they pulled it in the garage.
