Top 20 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport - Page 8 Questions & Answers

in teh first place, it was a 1996 montero sr. and no, I don't want to pay for it. And no, I don't want to provide an answer that you will charge someone else for. I'll go find another forum.

theres no dip stick ,there are to plugs on trany one on the bottom to drain and one on the side,remove the side one oil is full when it starts to flow out,but caution dont star removing bolts unless your sure could cause trany damage on some tranys,go to a oil and lube shop have them lift truck and check takes 5 to 10 minutes,good luck.

Please confirm to me but I believe the alternator is driven with the serpintine belt. If this is the case there is an idler/tension pulley that would need to be first loosened (I believe it is a 14MM) then at the top of the bracket where this pulley is mounted there is a bolt that you rotate to either loosen or tighten the belt (by turning this bolt you either raise or lower the pulley.
I hope this may have helped,

THE IDLE SPEED COULD BE LOW.CLOGGEG FUEL FILTER. FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR.BAD PLUGS AND WIRES.YOU COULD HAVE A INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAK.

sounds like the starter relay, i had same prob with my pajero, changed the relay, and it started first time...........hope this helps

The easiest way to determine if is the switch is to take a test light turn the truck on and turn the wipers on at the switch unplug the motor and see if you are getting power at the plug for the motor. If not getting power check and make sure the fuse is not blown first if the fuse is not blown remove the cover around the column where the switch is mounted and find the wires for the switch and see if there is power to the switch and coming out of the switch if no power out of the switch change the switch. If you are getting power to the plug at the motor replace motor.

check your coolant level.both radiator and resevoir.

if its the same as my 97 its under the center of the engine...you have to drop the sump guard and its just by the brake lines that run down the center of the truck...its a pain but not too bad

check to make sure that the arm that controls the blades is still intact locate the wiper motor under the hood you should be able to see the arm if its not attatched to the motor are the other arm then it needs to be replaced.

That would most likely be the switch itself. Fairly common

1st of all what type of sensor light is indicated ...

usually by disconnecting the negative side of the battery for 1 minute or so the reconnect should reset the O.B.C.

Yes, to assist it drawing oil I will usually place grease within the pump chamber off of the crankshaft.

Impossible to tell w/o the belt being installed. If the compressor is dead, no amount of freon will work. My guess is that they probably removed the belt due to compressor issues but if the compressor does kick on and there's no cool air, it may need freon. Freon can't be added unless the compressor is on and running.

Just changed my horns on my 98 Montero Sport and come to find out it was the horn relay. The horn relay is located near your power steering resivour its a small black square you will see some electrical lines running to it. Give it a couple taps and then try out your horn again. If that dosnt work your horns are located right behind your turn signals on your front bumper, they are circluar 3in and golden colored. You can get dealer ship replacement horns for 30 plus dollars or go to a autozone or advance auto and get aftermarket ones

To change the valve pan cover gaskets you have to first take the intake off the engine and don't forget which bolt goes where then and only then you would have access to the valve pan covers.

You need to replace the blicker switch. The metal contact on your blinker switch is not being moved when you switch it over because its a little plastic bump that snapped off. You'll have to take the plastic molding around your steering column off before you do this. Most screws are behind plastic plugs in the molding that hide the screws.

Hi! I have a parts list guide and a service manual on disc for 1998-2002 mitsubishi montero and your definately has a tensioner pulley I will give you part number for 1998 2.4L (MR116 250) and part number for 1998-1999 3L and 3.5L (MR315 634) Those part numbers are for a tensioner pulley so yep you have one. If you need anything else let me know!

Looks like you have a broken or thrown belt that runs your alternator, power steering, etc...

It could be a bad ground or the starter solenoid itself. Take the starter to any parts store and they will test the starter for free....plus while you are under there, you can check your cables to the starter and see what the condition of them are in.

Drive the car for 2 miles non-stop and take it to smog inspection WITH OUT TURNING OFF THE CAR!! the key is that the car goes threw the test while the engine is running ...

if the car is turned off ... u will have to repeat procedure ...
