What relay

You have an oxygen sensor failure.
There is a heating element in the oxygen sensor and when this fails the sensor does not detect in a specified time frame and gives a false reading.

There is usually one in each exhaust manifold and one after the cat. So 2 on a 4 cyl. and 3 on a v6 or v8.

Get a multi-meter. Put it on ohms setting. Zero the setting by connecting the ends together, and turning the dial to set to zero. Now, in the fuse box, locate the cig. fuse, see owners manual, and touch the ends of the meter to the fuse. One end to one side, the other to the other side. If good, the meter will go to zero. If not. replace the fuse.

in the fuse box if fuse is good check power at the wiper plug.

There is a cheap way if you want to use your computer. Go to autozone.com and register. Then register as many vehicles you want and have access to any repair manual you need and it's all for free.

1. Clean the gasket mounting surfaces of the pump and engine block.
   
2. Prime the pump by pouring fresh oil into the inlet and turning the rotors or by packing pump with petroleum jelly. Using a new gasket, install the oil pump on the engine and tighten all bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (14 Nm).
3. Clean out the oil pick-up or replace as required. Replace the oil pick-up gasket ring and install the pick-up to the pump.

Hi,

Normally points to false air/vacuum leaks and contaminated fuel

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel. Also, check the coil connections.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

u can find it by looking up by vin. number on vehcile...

for the parts store deprived people, you can go to autozone.com, or any auto parts site and order online, with shipping to your door.

take tire off, remove the two bolts on the back side of the brake caliper, remove brake caliper(with a coat hanger/stiff wire suspend caliper for it does not strain the brake line, remove rotor. Hope this helps Tim

For optimum performance, the converter must be installed so exhaust flows through it in the proper direction. When laying beneath the vehicle with your feet towards the rear, the converter should be installed so the numbers stamped into it are readable.
s Random Technology Super Flow catalytic converters are designed to fit a variety of vehicles. Special adapters may be required or special air tube adapters may be required.
s If a converter with air tubes is installed on a vehicle not equipped with an air management system, both air tube fittings must be plugged.
s If a converter is installed on a vehicle with an air management system, one air tube elbow & one plug must be used.

Plug Installation
Determine which air tube fittings (if either) are to be used to make air connection in your application. (Plug the side away from the vehicle's air supply management system.) Plug the fitting(s) not used before installing converter.
1. As in Figure 1, place converter on a secure surface with air tube fittings up, being careful not to crush the converter body or heat shield.
2. Place plug(s) into airtube fitting(s). See Figure 2 for direction of plug.
3. With a hammer tap plug(s) into airtube fitting (s) until seated. The top of the plug(s) will be flush with the end(s) of the tube. See
Figure 3.
4. Crimp the end of the tube over the plug with pliers. Crimp in at least 4 places. See Figure 4.


Airtube Elbow Installation
The airtube elbow is installed on the same side of the converter as the
vehicle's air supply management system. The remaining tube should be plugged (See above). If your vehicle is not equipped with an air management system, both tubes should have been plugged.
After installing catalytic converter on the vehicle:
1. As shown in Figure 1, insert the airtube elbow into the converter's airtube fitting.
2. Position elbow in correct direction to connect air management system and secure either by welding or by using a small clamp.
3. Complete connection to the vehicle's air management system. (An airtube attachment kit may be required.)

Mitsubishi automatic transmissions can be finicky when it comes to there fluid. If it has not been changed for a while get some Diamond SP III ATF or a synthetic equivalent and change the automatic transmission fluid. It may clear up minor shifting issues that are caused by old tired fluid.

What if the manufacture year of the car. Be more especific or just use the seat belt.

Did their computer power up? sometimes their computer gets power from your truck and if the fuse is blown, it wont power up (you would think they could figure that out??) Make sure fuse #5 is good. I would have them try another scan tool.

Follow the vacuum lines on the egr valve to the solenoid that actuates the egr valve. Check the fig and see the yellow arrow pointing solenoid and the white arrow is pointing to the EGR.:--
Check out.Thanks.

there is a small **** in the valve cover and on the crank next to gear there is a line that you must match these 2 2 to be in time hope this helps
