Code 173 refers to a fuel trim (bank2) fault

Do you have any of the following symptoms ????

  • MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) Illumination
  • Start and stall
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Black smoke at tailpipe
  • Hesitation/misfire at idle or under load
This code could lead to aposible MAF sensor fault or 02 sensor fault....has the vehicle had any previous servicing or work performed........???

There could be a loose/broken/faulty vaccum hose....

Any more info would be greatful ?!!!!!!

Just bought a 2000 mitsubishi montero sport the service engine light is on but it was just inspected yesterday. no problems w oil..just changed..same as all fluids. what could be wrong? Thank you signed...

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero sport, the check engine light is on, it's at 112000 miles, flawless car as far as I know, ran a diagnostics and got code P0400, what do you think it could be? I don't feel anything except it shakes a tad during idle and idles anywhere from 500k to 800k rpm. If you have any idea please let me know.

I have a mitsubishi montero sport utility truck and my servic engine light came on, i noticed that it was leaking when i parked it, what do you think it can be?

As far as the engine service light, I'd go to Autozone and have them read the engine codes2_bing.gif. They'll do this for free at most autozone parts places. The codes will indicate what's wrong and you can then decide if you really need to fix it. As far as the leak, it all depends what is leaking and how quickly it leaks. Leaking a little engine or trans fluid is not a big deal. Leaking any brake fluid is always a big deal.

There could be a hundred causes for a check engine light. First step is to hook up a computer scan tool and see what codes the computer has. The next step depends on the codes.

2003 Mitsubishi Montero (full-size) check engine light is on, the engine sounds like it knocks as I accellerate and the shift diff. lights blink after driving 25 or 30 miles.

The engine is probably making a knocking sound because the oil needs to be changed or replaced. The check engine light is indicating that you will need regular dealership servicing soon, however you can still drive the vehicle but depending on mileage it will determine what services are required.
