Nooo, we don't have stop signs

We've got Dodge Colts/Mitsubishi Mirages here, 4 Door, which looks like the same chassis.

Okay, seems like most of you think its the MPI.
I dont have a aftermarket regulator, therefore i'll have to rig something for fuel pressure.
I've gone through everything in the engine bay, the car is really clean, all the contacts looked new. I've checked all the wiring.
I'm suspecting fuel, the plugs are bone dry when cranking, no smell of fuel, and i cant hear the pump priming (this is within those 20 seconds)

Noticed that some electric components in the engine bay arnt getting power for those 20 seconds.
Not the same in the cab, everything working upon ignition (ie stereo, climate, cluster, turbo timer.)

The car runs fine once started, no idle issues.

Its the first 20 seconds with the igniton in the "ON" position that the car won't start, with cranking.
After those 20 seconds, it fires up. I just cant seem to understand how I will find the issue since its intermittent.
Like a fuse or relay (something) wont do its thing for that time frame.

Evo 1 owner on the east coast here, Halifax Area.

i believe the EVO 2 and 3 needed the whole control arm replaced, since the ball joints are not replaceable by any other means...
BUT i could be wrong..

The 96 talon has the same starter,alternator,water pump and belts as the evo 1. Map performance is a great seller for lots of parts. Slowboy racing is also great and they both have very good tech support.

Cool, ill check those out.
The thing with american suppliers is they always sent via UPS, then UPS rapes you at the door when they ask for their 50% brokerage fee!
