Oil light flashes on at low idle after engine gets
if the engine is running fine and no loss of power and no noises i would suggest repplacing the oil pressure sensor,chryslers have had the same problem for years,what happens is the sensor itself starts leaking oil internally and will ebentually start coming out if the connector and that means that the sensor has been compromized,hope this helps

How much is the cost
depending on what engine you have, the labor is 1.6 for the 3.0 v6 and 2.2 for the 3.5 v6. assume most shops charge $90 a hour for labor plus tax you're lookig at between 170 and 200 just for labor then plugs from mitsubishi are $13.73 retail, but aftermarket platinum plugs are a lot less, like $8 each. so depending on what plugs between 35 and 85. so unless you are wanting to do it yourself you are looking at between 200-250 for the 3.0 v6 or 230-290 for the 3.5 v6. if you are local i woudl do the job for way less : )
Rear wheel scratching noise
Check if there is some debris or obstuction in the wheel well. Also check the tread of the tires for uneven wear.
Put the car on a jack and try to move the wheel up and down. If it does so with clanking sound, your wheel bearing is defective and needs to be replace. For the uneven wear on your tires, you need to get an alignment for your car.
Service Engine Soon
you need to change all the o2 sensors reset the computer it might come back on a couple of times just keep resetting it you could buy one of the cheap code scanners for 49 or 59 dollars and reset yourself if you go to a shop they are going to sell you a catalytic converter for a few hundred bucks and the code will come back. let me guess you got about 100,000 miles on it what it really means is a shop or dealer will get paid for a cat job when you dont need one
My right turning signal in my 2002 Montero sport
Hi, this is a common problem and can be very annoying the only thing you need to do to solve this problem is to replace the arm you press when you want to make a turn left or right, what happens is that the switch inside wares then it sticks in the one possition you can sometimes get it off by pushing it in slightly as you try turning it to off position but failing that the only option you have is to get the whole indicator arm replaced. Their is no way of repairing these as they are a sealed unit, if you have any breakers yards near to you then you should be able to get one from their for next to nothing other than that you need to ring your local car spares shops and see what best price you can get
When you first going it stalls then it surges
Try for a few seconds pushing the accelerator pedal about halfway to the floor to rev it, then drop back immediately, do this a few times, if that doesn't even out, it may have a problem with the electronic choke. That, or get the MAF/temp/O2 sensors checked out.
