Possible causes are:
* if you have a distributor, the spark coil assembly in its base is faulty.
* Timing is off. Check the belt at TDC and ensure the cam markers line up.
* check the coolant temp sensor on the thermostat housing. If the wires are damaged (common for older cars) the ECU cannot work out the spark timing properly.

SOURCE: engine check light is on my mitsubishi chariot

Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with one of the components or sensors it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and you need to diagnosed and repaired it. There are test that need to be performed the find out the cause. The light will stay on until the problem is solved.

SOURCE: mitsubishi chariot gdi

Hi, I have a Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis Exceed 1998 (4g64) and recently changed the engine. Prior to changing the engine the car had a shudder when driving approximately 70kmph. This appears to be caused by some sort of misfire as one can see the ref counter dropping and picking up slowly. After changing the engine I still have exactly the same problem which tells me it is not the engine. I took it in and they tested it with one of those plug in machines but to no avail as it did not pick up any faults. Due to the slight drop of the needle prior to the car shuddering, I cleaned out the injectors but this does not appear to be a part of the problem. This usually occurs more often when the engine is warmer and not when one start up and drive. Any ideas what can cause this?

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

This can lead to many things, most of all is because of a bad sensor. There can be a bad sensor somewhere and I strongly suggest that you have the engine scanned. During the diagnostic it will list the trouble codes and by then you'll know what part is in need of replacement.
Although in my own opinion, it can be a possible MAF (mass air flow) sensor issue. If the MAF is faulty there will be vacuum irregularities.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Could be a blown head gasket or a cracked or warped head.
If blown gasket cheaper repair
Cracked head or warped head expensive head has to be rewelded or re-machined or both
Run engine and check radiator with cover off with a cold engine. see if air bubbles coming out of water at cap port

I have Mitsubishi chariot gdi 4G64 it crank but not start

For older (1990's) cars, If it has a distributor (rather than a spark block assembly), there is a coil inside, under the rotor.
If a spark block which is controlled by the ECU, check fuses.

Verify that the camshaft timing belt has not jumped a few teeth. If the timing belt has just been removed and replaced, it was likely done incorrectly.

My Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis gdi wont start, it attempts but fails. what is the problem? My battery is new,got enough fuel and the plugs are also new

You say that it attempts but fails. If it turns over, at a normal speed and tries to start and doesn't, check that the fuel is good and new fuel. Not fuel that has been in the tank for a long time. Check the fuel filter to see if it is clogged, Check the fuel injectors to see if they are all spraying fuel and there is enough pressure in the fuel lines. Check fuel pump for proper fuel pressure. High mileage engines check for compression in each cylinder. Possible bad ignition wires or ignition timing is off. Has the engine been steam cleaned recently. Is there water in the fuel? This gives you some things to check. Good luck.

Changed water pump and put the timing out.need to reset the timing. can you help me please.

That car has the 4G64 engine in it. The manual below covers both the 4G63(DOHC) and 4G64(SOHC), but it should definitely help you get that timing set. Timing belt removal procedures start on page 33.
