by the sound of it you need to check all the wiring and if needed replace part of it..Look for where it looks like it started the burn and fumes...This is a big job and it will cost you..

It sounds like the "bendix drive" is gone in your starter. This is the assembly that engages and disengages the starter to the engine. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the starter. Hope this helps.

Code 300 is for a random miss that is not serious enough to name a cylinder. You may have to wait until the problem is bad enough to cause a steady miss. It could be caused by a spark plug or injector among other things.

What year is the truck.

it could very well be a bad gauge. when it shows the engine to be overheated or at the least very hot, check the actual temp at the water outlet where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine. use a non contact thermometer to check the temp so as not to get burned in the process. if the thermometer reads way different than the gauge, the gauge is bad.

The CPU has found sensors that are out of parameters and has turn on the light to let you know something is faulty. Have the fault codes read and replace the sensor found to be faulty.

Is it leaking oil or burning it i ask,as for a estimate of a repair then iam the wrong one here as iam in spain .Too know exactly whats wrong here i would need my gnarled old head under the bonnet with a cuppa in one hand ,ciggy in the other and kick it up the exhaust with my steel capped boots on .Now is theri blue smoke out the back or a puddle of oil underneath the engine then this would give me a better idea as to whats wrong

you have a cracked heater core. Those are very difficult to change. Take your car to a professional garage

I have had the same problem, found out it is the wiring harness off the transmission. When it gets wet, it would cause the transmission to shift hard. After it dried out it would be fine. Mitsubishi has a TSB out on this. You have to remove the wiring harness and check all of the wires, its best to strip them back to make sure that you have no corrosion. Heat shrink them and reattatch. Seams like a error on Mistusbishi design. The bracket that holds the harness it what caused the cut in the wire then the short when it gets wet. Take it to your dealer to have it checked out.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

No, you put a mixture of antifreeze and water in it. You can buy premixed coolant at any auto parts store or even walmart

THE FUEL MILAGE ON THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 17MPG IF IT IS EQUIPED WITH THE 4.0L V6. ONE THING YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY IS TO RESET THE K.A.M. ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL RESET ALL OF THE FUEL CURVES AND OXYGEN SENSOR PARAMETERS AND ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO RE-LEARN HOW MUCH FUEL IS NEEDED TO RUN PROPERLY. TO DO THIS YOU CAN SIMPLY DISCONNECT THE NEGITIVE AND POSITIVE BATTERY CABLES AND LET THE VEHICLE SET FOR ABOUT 10-15 MIN. AFTER THAT TIME TOUCH THE TWO CABLES TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 15 SEC. AND THEN REINSTALL BATTERY CABLES ON BATTERY. THIS MAY HELP IN YOUR CASE BACAUSE WITH A NEW OXGEN SENSOR, THE COMPUTER IS NOT USED TO SEEING THE CORRECT READING SO WHEN IT DOES GET THE READING THAT IT NEEDS, IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.

engine not firing sound like bad crankshaft position sensor or ecm problems.

It's been my experience (on a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT) that the EGR valve can cause piston lifters to malfunction leading to costly repair bills. The easiest and least expensive repair I've found is to disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster, and use it to **** some Seafoam into the EGR valve. This is only a temporary fix, though.

HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM
