2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Logo

Starting Problems Stated before, my car will sometimes not start immediately after turning the key, I take out the key and try again and usually it will start. I already replaced the Clutch pedal ignition lock switch and the starter relay. I don't think it is the starter cause I have experienced starter issues with other cars. What else can be the problem? Thanks, David

you gotta make sure you re-plugged it properly, when you unplugged it a small piece of debris, may have fallen in, gently blow on the connections and re-plug it

SOURCE: my car won't turn over

does this car have a safety device that won't let you start the engine unless the clutch is pushed in???
if so that little switch on the clutch pedal could be faulty.

SOURCE: 2003 Galant Clicking noise when trying to start.

It is your battery it may not be completly dead but it is too dead to run the starter. It take 300 -600 amp to run a starter and 20 amp to run a stereo

SOURCE: ignition lock up. cannot turn key when inserted.

Have you tried pulling on your steering wheel at the same time you turn the key? Are you up against a curb? Try pulling it both ways. Push gearshift firmly into park and try it. It could be the safety switch in your counsel is faulty.

Get diagnostics done, as this situation can mean there is a problem with the engine management system, this can be a simple valve, solenoid problem, wiring issue, or even a simple thing like the key battery.

Engine starting problem

Hey Lindypop,

If you have another ignition key, I would suggest trying that key and see if the problem persists. The key has a micro-chip in them that allows the key to work in your vehicle only, and you may be having a problem with one of your keys.

If this is the case, a fault will be stored in the engine computer. It will be a good idea to check those codes and address them as necessary, it may help to avoid getting stranded.

Good Luck!
