Try searching eBay for the Mitsubishi part numbers, I have found them as cheap as $35 before

Thanks again Rocketman. It may not be the igniter. The firing looks good BUT when I try to push the gas pedal setting still the engine goes dead as if it was starving for gas?

If the car runs fine otherwise, or runs fine (or at least idles) once warm it's not the ignitor. They either work or do not work, sometimes intermittent but temperature related & progressively worse (fail as the engine warms up)

The symptoms you describe sound like a bad vacuum leak somewhere behind the VAF

This all started when I was cleaning the ground terminals on the passenger side and drivers side, I also checked the plugs around and under the air box and coolent tank.

Did you clean the ground near the thermostat housing? Does your tachometer show any RPM's (200-300)when cranking?

The tech does move to 200 to 300 rpm. and it tries to crank when I first hit the starter but don't. It was running ok before it cleaned the grounds and checked the plug in terminals. The motor had gotten a little lazy.

Hmmmm that's a tough one. Did you mess with the fuel injector harness plug? If that isn't seated correctly the injectors won't get a signal.

Have you tried using starting fluid?

When I first got thru cleaning the grounds it would crank but when I tried to rev up the motor it would go dead or die down until I backed off then it would idle but now it want crank at all. Just like it was sarving for gas.

Please describe "checked".

If you touched any Air Intake stuff, check for cracks, loose, leaks

All I did with the connections was to unplug them and clean the terminals.
