2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

timing issues?? or transmission problems maybe??

call 1888mitsu2001, choose option #4, then hit * (star). give the operator the last 8 numbers of your vin and they will provide the radio code to you for free.

sorry but no reset for the mitsubishi.

will the car stay running if you hold down the gas pedal a little? if it will, check the idle air control motor. it should be on the throttle body.

If your oil is clean and not sludged up where it restricts oil passages, then your low oil pressure may be caused by worn crankshaft bearings. Does it burn any oil? Lotta miles?You need to know the true oil pressure reading. Have it checked with a gauge and go from there. Your oil pump may need replacing, or sometimes a good top oil treatment may clear out the passages and restore oil pressure. Good luck.

its the same thing eclipse trannys have a big problem with the wave spring inside, it breaks and destroys the ******, If you get it fixed again make sure they put a rebuilt one in. Mitsubishi redesigned the wave spring

When you try to start your engine, some "security" or "alarm light" turn on in dashboard? If YES, then you will need to scanning the computer. You most likely have a problem with the immobilizer, this senses the radio frequency of the key, if it gets the wrong signal, it will shut off engine after about two seconds (more or less); you can try a spare key and see if it runs, if not, it will need to be reprogrammed, this can be done by the dealer. If other light or "check engine" turn on, same tging, will need scanned the PCM to know what fault codes is stored there to solve it. Hope this helps.

Welcome this is Marc from collisionrepairadvice.com Is there any noise. I need more information!

Do you have this box under the hood? Fuel pump relay in on the left. There are actually 2 of them. If you need help sorting it out, please let me know.

is it broken or not working? if it is broke you possibly have to remove the air bad steering wheel and clock spring to facilitate. once changed ensure your wheels are straight and recenter your clock spring or you will damage the wiring in it. then your horn and air bag might not work or will short out causing a fire or blown fuses of air bag.

The mentioned problem could refer to 2 things, O2 sensor or "clogged" injection system.
If the car changes the RPM dinamically then it would be O2 sensor, often stalls. Regarding clogged injection, preliminary try to rev to higher RPM, if that is the problem fast you will see the difference (maybe solves the problem, maybe will require cleaning.

the connection behind the horn cover on steering wheel

first check for vacuum leaks, then check idle air control valve.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r7427423-fix_poor_idle_high_idle_stalling_fuel . These are generic instructions. If you getstuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

I had the same problem with the heater only working when accellerating. Found the overflow tank pick up tube was kinked. This of course made my coolant level low. So when the cars hot the coolant would push into the overflow, but when the car cooled the kink would prevent it from flowing back to the radiator.

hi.
on most fords, the port is behind one of the front indicators. remove the indicator unit, and you should see the port.

You have a blown headlight fuse that controls the low beam headlights. Look in the fuse/relay box under the hood.

if the o2 sensor is bad this will throw multipal codes when its really only one prob. start with replaceing the o2 sensor first. their is and up stream and a down stream sensors in the exhaust system you un plug them and thay just unscrew out and scerew the new ones in now thay make an o2 sensor socket you can buy at any parts store for about 15.00. and the sensor can be quet exspensive. now as for haveing a shop do this will run about 120.00 for labor plus cost of parts.you can e-mail your number and i will call you if you need more help.

Hi there,

Diagnostic codes # P0115 to P0119 all relate to the ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) sensor circuit.

Assuming you have correctly diagnosed a faulty ECT sensor, here are the instructions to locate and test:

* Look for a bolt size sensor with a wire attached - on Mitsubishis, the ECT sensor is usually located either on the Intake Manifold, or close to the Thermostat housing (to measuer coolant temp).

This is what is looks like:


* To test the ECT sensor:

* With the sensor portion immersed in hot water, check resistance as per the table below (convert to degrees F if necessary):


* If the resistance is too far out of spec, then replace the sensor.
