nah, the wires have just been replaced by brand new factory spark plug wires, and the spark plugs have been checked by 2 mechanics and changed twice.I also installed a new coil. But still not working

Get a gst, solve the problems your having now, and youll be happy having not so much of a chick car, although you will have problems with that as well. I would say its the ecu, it is a mitsu after all, and I know alot of the newer hondas that come into my shop read cyl. 1 misfires, and the ecu is to blame.
