2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You will need an ODB code reader, which will connect to the receptacle under the driver side of the dashboard, usually just below where the steering column is. The ODB reader will display a series of codes, which you can look up online to help determine what fault your vehicle's computer is sensing.

Buzzing is from a cracked filter or low on fluid check level with engine running in park if full and has bubbles on stick the filter is cracked

Hi there, your MIL tells you something has had a problem in your electrical system, you will need to take it to your Local mechanic and have him scan the system on your car, they will then be able to tell you what's going wrong and also reset the lamp so it stays off

sounds like your window switch has finally stop working. Remember, this is the button that is used the most.

something is wrong you need a scanner , buy one at parts store read directions, find code fix problem

have the autobox fluid level checked , as the age of vehicle is 15 years i would have the fluid changed unless you know for sure its been changed in the last 20k miles

Do you mean master cylinder?

THE PUMP HOUSE they only sell fuel pumps ,they have many of the Montero fuel sending units and the even have a nice plastic unit to do away with reusing a metal fuel sending unit that rust out over time. I bought a unit it worked out great !!! reach them at 614-607-8804 or [email protected] they have website fuelpumphouse.com those guys great at what they do located in Ohio hope this helps someone

Put in forward and subsequently in reverse, problem could be caused by not having all 4 tires the same.

there is a code table here:code table

Check the fuel pressure and compression and O2 sensors

Here's a link to the issues associated with a P0174 code: http://engine-codes.com/p0174_mitsubishi.html There's a bit of a punch list of stuff that could be causing this code. If you have never changed the O2 sensors on this car that is where I would start; replace all of them. Get OEM exact replacements versus "universal" fit O2 sensors. The Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) may be dirty. There is specially formulated cleaner for removing any built up mung on the sensor. The PCV system can be checked for proper flow. Replace the PCV and/or clean the system if there is no valve. Bring the car in and have the injectors professionally cleaned. You're probably in the neighborhood of 165-170K. If you've never done any preventive or regular maintenance then there could be a lot of issues with your car. The P0174 is a lean condition. It could be bogus inputs to the engine management computer (via bad O2 sensors and/or a dirty or bogus MAF sensor). It could be really dirty injectors because they've never been cleaned and if you've been filling up with non-top tier fuel (because you're saving 2 cents a gallon) then it's a sure bet the injectors are dirty. Running lean comes from air leaks into the manifold post MAF sensor. This could be from rotted vacuum hoses or cracked/broken vacuum fittings. There's just too many possibilities to be able to nail it down for sure. Use the link and the info there to start your trouble shooting.

new air filter all the air lines cleaned fuel filter changed, timing belt changed ( kit including pump) intake cleaned out, spark plugs and leads depending on year if has leads fitted. oil changed (filter as well, some people for get this ) ecu flushed ( removes setting for days gone by, people thing that the ecu just runs the engine it also save setting that the engine was running best at to the preprogrammed settings ie computer).

ticking noise is the lifters I am thinking without hearing it but I would try some stp oil treatment add it to your oil the other services you talked about like flushing out the radiator my cause you to start losing water or burning it the trans fluid change wouldn't hurt

Check the Battery leads Make sure you have got good clean earths.

check your overdrive switch it might be on

go to my profile and "follow" me. I will pull that info out for you tomorrow. (I just "followed" you so I can find you again to get you the info)

Make sure it is not a door switch. They may seem alright but are known to fail. I'm having issue with mine and found that it was a switch.

Check for loose belt, slipping balancer, or wrong size alternator pulley(too big diameter)

You won't get through inspection. Just had this issue with mine. The throttle body and intake need to be cleaned out. these trucks are awesome but are known for bad build up in these areas. hope this helps.
