The odometer cable must have come out from the transmission or is not turning. I am assuming this happened suddenly. But things can be different if you were adjusting transmission timings or playing with dashboard electronics (new radio etc).

I have the exact same problem with my GTZ, hope someone has a solution

The Hazard light switch is located in the middle of the center dash vent. The vent in the middle of the dash has two adjustable vents and the button that turns on the hazard lights is in between the two vents.

there is a resistor for each speed of the motor and it is unusual to blow all resistors as the lower resistors still allow the motor to work. Check for power supply and switch problems and you will need the ignition switch to ne on to get power. Check that you actually have resistors as later models use a module to control blower speeds and this stops the blower if it fails.

There are so many potential reasons why a car stalls. Is the check engine light on? That would indicate a problem somewhere in the car's operating system. It's best to have the car's computer scanned for trouble codes. If any codes come up, they will identify where the problem is. Auto Zone and Advance Auto will a scan of your car.

From the timing belt to the transmission the fireing orders are 1234 One and three fired the same time 2 and 4 fire the same time. Pull all the plugs for the spark plug on them and lay them across the top of the motor with plugs in them you can see which ones fire at what time. The spark plugs need to be touching a grounded part of the engine to fire. This also will help you find out if you have bad wires.

have you checked the fuse(s) do this first ,otherwise could be an electrical problem which would require an auto electrician to diagnose

Are you noticing any difference in the way the car is shifting gears?

First, make sure that both battery terminals (on battery) are clean, AND tight. Your electronics can function without having enough juice to turn the motor over...If not the posts...sounds like the starter has worn out..

I was unable to find that error code by doing a Google search. Thus, I would recommend seeking repairs, so they can diagnose the issue & take the necessary actions.

Either the PURGE VALVE has failed (auto parts store) or the VAPOR CANISTER is clogged (junk yard).

the purge flow in the evaporative emission control system is incorrect. if you the purge flow valve is on the front of the engine bolted to the intake. has 2 big vacuum lines coming from it. the other working part of the system is the vent valve which is located on the evap canistor on the gas tank. you have to have a scanner and go into test mode to active each valve, you can hear them click when activated. if both of those valves are working properly then there is a blockage somewhere in the lines in that system, or the port on the intake is clogged. sometimes this problem can be difficult to find. the dealer can fix this problem, and it is fairly common on most newer mitsubishi's. carbon builds up and can break off and go into the system and get lodged somewhere causing a blockage and not purging the engine of excess unburnt fuel.
