sometimes I see sparks then no sparks. what could be wrong with my car? The car would not start.Optional Information: 1992 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.0L Already Tried: I only visually checked for spark on the spark plugs.

You need to check if the injector pulse is also cutting out to help narrow down the possibilities (use a noid light)

you lost me there. I do not know what a noid light is. Do I have to take it to a mechanic?. That is exactly what I tried to avoid.lt's an old car and I do not want to run up an expensive bill. Is a noid light expensive?.
