The first thing you should do is check all related fuses. There is a fuse box at the right front in the engine compartment. There is also a smaller one inside the car to the left of the brake pedal. Each location should have cover with a diagram of each fuses purpose.

Next, you'll need to check whether fuel and spark is getting to the cylinders. You might consider having a mechanic determine this for you. Some repair facilities such as Pep Boys will tow your vehicle to their shop for free as long as you're within a certain distance. Keep me posted...

SOURCE: i have a 1998 mitsubishi galant es and need a tranny.

The best way is to make sure you give the correct information IE: yr, make, engine size, and VIN. That will ensure the correct trans. As far as knowing if it is a good trans, the best advise I can give is to make sure it is a reputable parts dealer, and make sure it is a low mileage trans (if used), make sure they offer a warranty, and have them or yourself pull the pan to inspect it for metal shavings.

The only way to know for sure is with a new belt. I have done 100's of these, it is the most reasy reliable way, a T. belt is not that much money.

Should be on your 2nd timing belt. If you have the 4cyl engine there is a balance belt that needs to be changed also. Mitsubishi recomends replacement at every 60,000 miles, your 10k over. Most of the time these motors are not interferance engines, But I have seen a few that broke a belt at high rpm that did bent valves......

Dude....putting 2 stroke fuel into a 4 stroke engine is just silly, but not where your problem lies. Check the coils to see if it is generating spark...if not then check the ignition module....even 'oily' the plugs should fire.

Hi I have a 1998 mitsubshi galant and about two weeks ago the gears stuck on 3rd and wont swicth even when I turn off the engine and restart..

You have a bad throttle position sensor which is mounted on the throttle body. Pretty easy to replace, just note the position of the old one. It's secured by two small bolts. The part is usually special order and costs about $110.

ENGINE MOUNTS

Im not 100% sure but i wouldnt see why not. It is the same subframe, engine, and trans as the usdm car. If you cant find new mounts than you could always fill you old ones with Window Weld. It results in a stiffer mount that reduces engine movement and wheel hop.
