  post locked   02 Mitsubishi Lancer - Ignition Coil Problem  

I currently have a 2002 mitsubishi lancer and replaced the old motor in it with a motor from a 2003 lancer all wires, sensors, and computer from old motor were placed onto the new engine. However when starting up, the first coil pack (in the second cylinder) got extremely hot and now the car only runs on the last 2 cylinders (3 and 4). I replaced the bad ignition coil pack, car ran great the first 5 minutes, then this time around the new coil pack started smoking and burned out. Is there a possibility the computer from the old mitsubishi 03 lancer needs to be put into my vehicle or is their possibility the computer on my car needs to be set to the 03 lancer's specifications? Please help!

Year of vehicle: 2002 / Engine Replaced with a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer (Same engine)
Make of vehicle: Mitsubishi
Model of vehicle Lancer
Engine size: 2.0
Mileage/Kilometers: 73,000

kalel; Recheck the firing order. From what I can find, the coils should fire (1 & 4) and (2 & 3). Also, too much resistance in the spark plugs/wires can damage a coil.

Thanks for the advice.

The problem ending up being on the harness. The connection into the first coil pack was bad. Replaced that connector and was good to go.

I guess you can't read what the previous poster was told.
