1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I want to buy a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse that has a 2.0 engine with a 5 speed transmission. The engine turns over but will not start. I tried to poor gas directly into the head but the car still would not start. What could I do to make the car start?

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
