2002 Mitsubishi Lancer - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I just found it finally guy don't seem to help well where you turn the lights on on the twisty stick there is a little part on the light stick that you just twist up and it turns fog lights on when you turn the lights on I'm so proud I just figured it out

Plugged Fuel System

Check the starter

All the Mitsubishi Lancers shared the same horsepower of 120 hp, including the 2002 model. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Motorola 711 Programmer

What the problem turn or not turn,check battery and connection.could be starter,tune up ,coils,fuel filter.

vacuum leak or plugged cat.

Hi there,Your Mitsubishi's transmission is fully electronic and the good news is, it is monitored by the on-board diagnostic (OBD) computer.When the OBD computer detects an abnormality (or fault condition) related to the transmission, the computer will trigger the "fault" indicator (in this case, a flashing "N" light).Once this occurs, the OBD computer will store the appropriate diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) in its memory. Having these codes extracted by an approved Mitsubishi repair agent, will aid the technician in determining which electronic circuit (or component) within the transmission, requires attention.It could be a simple matter of your transmission's fluid getting too hot (i.e. overheating). When this occurs, you should pull over and (while engine is still idling) remain stationary for 10mins, to allow the trans fluid to cool down.At your soonest opportunity, you should have the trans fluid level (AND CONDITION) checked, as I suspect the fluid has burnt from overheating and is no longer lubricating the transmission efficiently. Although the Manufacturer states changing trans fluid every 90,000km, it is now common knowledge that changing more frequently (i.e. every 30 - 50,000km) will prolong the life of modern transmissions.Recommend you have the OBD codes read by your local Mitsubishi Agent, to determine what is causing the current problem. Note: you could risk causing further damage by driving your vehicle in its current condition.Cheers,ScottPS: if this advice has helped you in any way, please rate this solution.

you wont and you cant ,doesnt have a choke ,its computer controlled fuel injection

Since it is an "interference" engine, when the timing belt breaks it is possible for the pistons to contact any open valves and either crack/break the piston or bend the valve stem. The only way to rule these things out is to remove the head or use a "bore scope" and look in the cylinders through the spark plug holes. You could install a new belt and then do a compression test, but if it fails then you will have to take it all apart again. Rolling the cam isn't really a good test as any number of valves could be tweaked just enough not to sit flat in the valve seat and leak compression.

Is the Check engine light on?

sounds like there's a short in your wiring in the steering column, A lot of times with a tilt wheel a wire get loose or gets a short in it. the steering wheel may have to come off to fix the problem but make sure to disconnect the airbag first, I'm not sure what vehicle you have so I don't know where to tell you to look for the connection, may be best to take to a dealership if possible. Hope this helps.

check for a bad crank position sensor

check your water level for your raidiator..fill your water up to maximum level under bonnet..the pipe leading to your radiator and water, pump with hand while the top is off to release any trapped air and screw back on.

The input/turbine speed sensor has nothing to do with the turbo. It is transmission related and is a circuit malfunction. I am having the same problem and it causes my car to downshift into 3rd gear (computer's fail safe gear) on the highway. The sensor is located above the transmission housing, and doesn't require you to take apart the tranny. I am having trouble finding the part number for this and where to buy it. Any help would be nice.

My Lancer was doing the same thing and i had a tune-up and got a new catalytic converter but it was my ignition coil that was bad. Maybe this can help you.

It's really easy. If you open your glove box and look behind it, you will see the compartment where the filter goes. Unhook the hinge on the left side. The box will hang by two hinges, just pop off. Look at your new cabin filter and you will see the two screws that you need to take off to put in the new filter. In my case, there was no filter at all. You may need to use an exacto knife and cut out the plastic. You will notice the new filter has the lip to stay on. After you cut out the square, put the new filter on, and screw it in.

First examine the fuel mixture, may be the car's taking too much air... Because this only happens if the fuel being injected in the inlet manifold doesn't get utilized completely another reason for mal-utilization can be...Check out for any coolant leaks in the inlet manifold... How to do that??? Well check out for any excessive water (vapors) from the exhaust. If this is the case; remove the carb and arrange for an appropriate seal between the carb's spacer and inlet manifold.That should do...
