Your problem may be one of the following:
First check or just replace the fuel filter. Usually located under the car in front of the rear axle, drivers side.
Next, the fuel pump may be worn out. Usually they get loud or stop working (running).
Next, check the fuel pressure regulator. Usually located on the front fuel rail, drivers side.
Is the vacuum line attached? Not leaking or rotted?
Also, do you smell a strong fuel odor when it won't start? May be one or more stuck-open injectors, or the coil pack is bad.
Checking these in the order listed will more than likely fix your problem.
The clicking noise indicates the battery can no longer run the starter, which also means the fuel pump won't run either.

It could be a fuel issue. How old is the fuel filter? Can you hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key on? Try turning the key to ON without trying to start engine three times waiting for the pump to stop running each time. Then try to start the engine. If it starts, Its a form of Vapor lock caused by the extreme heat we have had lately, and a weak fuel pump.

If none of this works, try a new fuel filter first. From there have someone check the fuel pressure regulator and then the pump. If you are in need of a new pump, take my word for it and spend the money to get one from a Dealer, and not from your favorite parts store. Most parts store parts are made in China and they are JUNK.

2002 Mitsubishi Galant starts when cold but once you turn it off it won't start again....sometimes it'll start after it cools down and sometimes I have to check the sparks plugs and then it'll start...

I went through a the same problem with a Toyota it would start perfect in morning and if I shut it off it wouldn't start hot anyway I would be willing to be it's the ect(engine coolant temperature) sensor. If your car has 2 it's the one for the computer

Trying to figure out the best things to do for a tune up on my 2000 mitsubishi galant

Start by changing spark plugs,air filter, fuel filter,even oil and oil filter as the engine smells how clean the oil is with oxygen sensor for starters.Check electrical connections and hoses for tightness,if its not running well run a big dose of fuel cleaner through the petrol tank and give it a good run,check ignition timing(if you can)otherwise if its running poorly,get a mechanic to attend to it to diagnose it properly and easily
