Hi.

First ensure that problem is not a defective coil pack.

Problem is either power transistor, wiring problem, or a defective ECU. The problem is usually fixed testing and eventually replacing the power transistor. If you have already replaced the PTU, then it is either ECU or wiring. The ECU sends a pulse signal to the PTU, if the ECU is defective or if there is a wiring problem you get the same symptoms you described.

Here how to test the PTU.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6222268-engine_doesnt_crank_turn_over . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

just call discount auto 813-689-6161 tell them the year make and motor and you will have it

the mostly likey reson is that there is a speed chip in the car's comp. and 70 mph is it's limit

Most likely the fuel pump relay

will try to help. look under the hood in main fuse and relay box. it will be a black square box,usually located on driverside fenderwell. open box,look under the lid of box for fuse location. check main fuse for engine and also check starter fuse. push downward on all fuses to insure a good connection.if all of the fuses are good close box up. go to battery, make certain that there is no corrosion on the cables and they are both tight,a loose cable will let lights come on but no start, be sure they're tight. if all this is good, your starter is next. you'll need to have it checked. also, and this is an easy mistake even i make sometimes,,are you sure the cars in park? try shifting it back and forth twice and then try to start it. hope this helps and as always if you need further assistance,please repost your question and we'll be happy to assist you,thank you for choosing fixya.com

HAVE VECHICLE SCANNED AGAIN YOUR ECU COULD BE WRONG ONE OR YOU NEED NEW ECU PROGRAMMED TO THE VECHICLE.IT DONT RECOGNIZE VECHICLE.

There are brass or bronze sycronizers rings for each gear that help mesh each gear when shifted. Mostly likely they are worn and may need to be replaced. I would check the gear box fluid level and the clutch fluid level also.

is the vehicle charging ?? sorry iam colour blind so i have to describe it as in the fulel gauge is a low fuel warning light and they all look the same colour to me sorry ,so if you thjink its the low fuel warning light then this could just be a malfunctioning sender unit

will the engine crank when you turn the key, and will not start or does nothing happen when key is turned on. If nothing happens when you turn the key, you may have an dead battery. if it will crank and not start, may not be getting fuel or the engine isnt fireing. Check fuel first, then check to see if it the spark plugs are getting fire.

All Mitsubishi cars pretty much hide the water pump under the timing belt. You should buy all new belts for the car and if you have 150,000+ miles consider replacing the water pump at the same time.You will have to take off the power steering belt, the alternator belt, the upper belt cover, support the motor, take off the motor mount, jack up the right front corner of the car, take off the front right tire, take off the engine plastic under cover, line up the TDC timing mark, take off the lower pulleys, take off the lower engine cover, observe the timing marks/arrows and highlight with paint, take off the timing belt , counter balancer belt if there is one. take off the water pump belt, and now you can unbolt the water pump, scrape the gasket, and replace it. Now the good news, if you have tools,a compressor, an air gun(for lower pulley bolt), patience , and four to eight hours to kill, you can actually save money and do it your self.

start your car and take off the negative battery terminal if the car dies the alternator needs to be replaced because it should hold enough charge to keep the car running

A quick and easy remedy is to replace the coil. But you can also go to the auto parts store and ask to use their OBD, or their OBD-ll if your car is new enough, and just hook it up to the computers port which should be inside the vehicle, then you would look that code up in Hanes repair manual for your make, model and year.

Sounds like you have a short somewhere. Start at the starter and work your way back.

A Four Thumbs up ^^^^ is appreciated for answering your question. And please take the time to rate me by leaving a testimony. Thank you, Lee Davidian

if its not the distributor maybe you have to replace your engine ignition coil....

check your radiator fan and the thermoswitch, maybe its not working or if this are working have your cooling system thermostat checked by a mechanic...if the temperature still goes up, have an engine tune up...

check the fuse box inside your engine compartment the fuse for your stereo is located in that box. or if your not familiar with it ask a automotive technician for a help

it also happened to my car before ..have your transmission computer box and selector sensor checked or diagnose. either of them are not working properly and needs to be replaced....

have your transmission checked by a mechanic. there are a LOT of mechanical parts that could cost that kind of problem
