Well, where to start with this car... Its an automatic.When I'm at a stop light the car starts to jump and cuts off for a second then turns back on. Sometimes the car cuts off when I back up. It gets from 9 mpg to 35. Sometimes it has a hard time shifting from 3rd gear to 4th. It has a hard time going up hills. The check engine light is on and got it checked; says the oxygen sensor is bad, EGR sensor is bad, and 4 cylinder misfires or something like that. I changed the spark plugs and that didn't change the misfires. Haven't replaced the oxygen sensor or EGR sensor yet because they are too expensive, I would like to know where these parts are located and how to clean the EGR sensor and oxygen sensor. Also, what could be causing the misfires. I am so aggravated with this car and just want to blow it up.
How to Increase gas mileage? For
car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be
transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF. For
more troubleshooting, I suggest you to get the Following help link checked, its
complete step by step procedure to inspect gear shift issues: ----- GEAR SHIFT ISSUES http://alltypesofpartsreplacing.blogspot.com/2012/11/gear-shift-issues.html ========== Car
not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can
be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it
can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or
injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned. To
confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required. From
start to end troubleshooting these problems I suggest you
to check the help link below and follow its procedure: ----- Mostly all types
of car no start problems are discussed here with solutions. CAR NO START: ENGINE NOT TURNING
OVER: ENGINE MISFIRE There are few possibilities that can cause engine misfire
issues. It can be issue with spark plugs or faulty spark plugs. Also get the
compression test done for cylinders. If any of cylinder shows low compression
then required, then that particular cylinder will cause misfire. Also get obd codes scanned, the error code will let you know
which cylinder is misfiring or all cylinders are misfiring. ----------- For your trouble shooting I suggest you to refer the help

I suggest to get a grasp on reality & go to a
repair shop that has been at the same location
for 25 years & have all the issues properly diagnosed
& resolved
You don't have the knowledge to do so yourself
or you wouldn't be here
Thank you for the smartass post. I have taken it to a couple shops and they can't figure it out.
Think about what you just said You went to a couple of shop that couldn't figure it out. Is that acceptable & what a repair shop should charge you for. I said go to a shop that has been around along time & knows how to resolve you issues. I'm not the problem the car is & your ability to find a shop with experienced people. There are reasons why shops don't resolve things,that I won't share with you

SOURCE: 0304 code -Keep getting Cylinder 2 misfire code Mitsubishi galant
code 304 is number 4 cyl,check the plug insulator for white(arch) markings-if you see any markings replace the insulator
SOURCE: Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally 2003 hesitates while driving
before anything i had the problem and this is the way i solved it ... the lancer has 2 ignition coils in 2 cylinders what you do is take the iginition coil out of the cylinder that is misfiring and change it to another cylinder and put the car on the odb reader again it should change location of misfire .. then that would tell you that its the ignition coil thats bad i ended up getting my coil at the dealer for $110 ebay has some aftermarket pairs for $100 so you can get 2 now for the price i paid for 1 that will solve the problem guaranteed owne d a lancer for 5 years know the ups and downs to them
