Check the Distributor or the Crank position sensor you might have them 180 out of phase or the sensor went out and it doesn't know when to fire

The section you haven't checked nicely is the gasoline shipping. For no-starts off i favor to start with beginning fluid. a pair seconds spray on the air filter out, then last up the air cleanser field to capture the fumes earlier cranking the engine, tells quite some the tale. If the engine burns off the fluid you comprehend all it needs is gasoline being injected. If not, there remains something not accurate with the ignition. The compression readings make me positive the precedence isn't there. i'm afraid i have not had adventure with Mitsubishi engines.

The part you haven't checked well is the fuel delivery. For no-starts I like to begin with starting fluid. A couple seconds spray on the air filter, then closing up the air cleaner box to trap the fumes before cranking the engine, tells a lot of the story. If the engine burns off the fluid you know all it needs is fuel being injected. If not, there is still something not right with the ignition. The compression readings make me confident the problem is not there.
I'm afraid I haven't had experience with Mitsubishi engines.
