Welcome to the Mitsubishi-Forums.com. Here is a basic introduction on how to use this site to its fullest potential.

Starting with your profile, fill out everything on your cars specifications, that way users can see what kind of answer you are looking for. Remember to post your cars transmission type, automatic, or manual. When you ask about engine mods, this is not always a necessary detail, but does help if you include it according to some applications.

Now what you do is scroll to the top of any of our forum pages. There is a small gray tool bar with dark gray writing. It has your member name and has the following links:
(my controls) (view new posts) (my assistant) (board rules) (new messages) and (resend validation Email). On the far right of this tool bar there is a SEARCH engine. You can either type in a topic you wish to find, or you can click the "my assistant" link and it will bring up a new window with two search engines. One is "search posts"; the other is for "search help." If you’re looking for a specific idea I would use the search posts engine and type a general topic and then take your time reading up on as many things as you can. Just because you can not find the information you are looking for with your first search doesn’t mean its not there. For example, your reverse lights are not working so you type in “reverse lights” you get nothing. Your next try should be “back up lights”.

Remember that if you wish to find it again without searching, be sure to click the bookmark tab on the top of the topic page. If you wish to be informed about replies to your posts click the track this topic tab as well. You will get a message in your assistant page that says 170 or something like that, new posts. 1, 2, or 3 post is in reply to a topic you started or a post. You can also choose an email for post replies and what not.

Once you have read up, and researched everything that has already been covered. If you still don't are unsure of how to solve your problem, or wish for opinions or advice on the subject, you may start a new thread asking or just state your question in an old thread.

Ignorance and failure to search before posting tends to suffer from the wrath of the veteran users of this board. It gets real old when the same question is asked three times in one week by three different people. Remember that when you cross a topic post thats locked/closed so that no one can add replies it is because the questions have been answered in full. These are good topics to read up on!

Best of luck, and again - welcome to the site.

Thank you,
Mitsubishi-Forums Administration

Everyone!

If you have a modified/want to modify your vehicle, and there is a problem that you need help with, it might be helpful to list your mods in your signature so everyone can easily see them. You don't have to but it will help you get the quickest resolution of your problem because people don't have to ask, "What mods do you have?" before they can start helping out.

If you choose to do so, please be clear on what mods are INSTALLED, and what mods you WANT TO install so we don't get them confused.

Thanks and Enjoy!!!

Hi Ya's,
New to the forum so be gentle.

Live in Cannock, Staffordshire and I have posted this in the Colt section (could do with some help).

I noticed some time ago the following was posted.

Now I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, or if this annoying sound actually sounds louder than it is because I'm thinking of it, but there is a constant high-pitched monotonous buzz sound coming from my central display (with the clock and radio/cd display) as soon as I turn the key and the clock comes on, before I even start the engine. And this buzz is sooooo annoying. Although it is at quite a low volume, it is very high pitched and although it is mostly drowned out when I have the radio or a CD on, a change in track or some dead air on the radio makes this ear-terrifying sound creep through and I am beginning to hate driving!

I have just got a Colt CZ1 and guess what.............Same orrible noise. Its definitely coming from the central display (Clock) very high pitched and very annoying.

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? is it a simple fix, and is it covered by Warranty.

Any help would be appreciated because its spoiling a really nice car.

Great site,
Manor

Hello all, I am steveracer and very familiar with old Mitsubishi/Fire Arrows but new to the fourm.

I have a super clean car in my garage with the cage completed that is going to be prepped for historic or Group 2 or 5 rally here in the USA.

I own "too many" cars, the 1980 Arrow, 1993 Miata (CTS Pearl White, suspension, wheels/tires), 2006 Audi A3, 1999 GMC Sierra, and my wife has a 2002 Audi A4. Oh, and the trailer plus my bikes....

Anywhoo, I am going to use this forum to learn a few things about 2.6 liter and possibly and most likely, a Starion turbo swap into the car. I have rallied this car back in the day, basically like a group N spec, and it is cool to have a car that a lot of people remember, but don't see anymore.

So I will do my searching and look forward to meeting you guys and gals here in discussion.

My first question....where to post on the Celeste/Fire Arrow?

New to the forum as well as Mitsubishi. Bought an '02 Lancer LS about a year ago, now im thinking of what i can do to it. Prolly just basics, stereo, maybe a body kit, stuff like that.....

Hey I own an 01 Eclipse RS that does not run so I am looking for answers. I also do not know much about cars and I will ask questions all the time sometimes they will be stupid but please put up with it.

Hi ALL
Hope somebody can help me..i have a 1990 pajero 2.5td runs great apart from a squealing noise from under the bonnet..just had all new belts fitted and they seem fine.
The squeal is not constant in fact only when in motion it has the classic loose belt squeal but ive checked and rechecked the belts! i can rev the engine whilst stationary and no noise whatsoever.

No loss of performance and no fluid losses as far as i can see..just an infuriating squeal.when driving if i disengage the gears and free wheel the noise is still there even at idle until i stop the car and then it ceases.

my local halfords seem to think it could be the power steering pump but theres no way of knowing as the noise is only present when in motion.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GO MAD.
THANKS
BABS

Dudes,

I have a 2002 Airtrek. The engine cooling fan is running all the time and continues for a short time after the engine is turned off. I am assuming that this is not how it should be operating. I have seen a few threads relating to recalls on fan controllers for Outlanders. How do I find out if this is a fan controller problem and if it has a recall from Mitsubishi ?

Cheers.

Hey, I just bought a '97 eclipse rs. This is something all new to me cuz all ive worked on is an '87 toyota pickup. Looking forward to doing alot of work to it and any help would be much apreciated! Thanks!

Hi New to the site and forums so please excuse any mistakes.
I bought a 2002 L200 4life form a car auction last week ( big mistake).
Smokes like a train and no power plus over heats when put under load,
should i try to fix it or set it on fire?

HI, no speaking english. new usuario...desde Veraruz Mexico

THIS IS MY FIRST EVER JAPAN CAR EVER. IT APPEARS TO BE OK, BUT TIME WILL TELL. ITS A 2009 OUTLANDER SE 4 CYL CVT BLUE METALIC. BOUGHT 10/09/2009 WITH 7 MILES ON IT.

THE DEALER SEZ IT CAN GET UP TO 24 IN TOWN..ANY TRUTH TO THAT? OR WILL I BE LUCKY TO GET 20?
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT ANY MILEAGE IMPROVEMENTS. I HAVE AN 04 VW GOLF TDI THAT GETS 38+ IN TOWN,
SO THIS IS JUST ABOUT GOING TO DOUBLE MY FUEL BILLS.

ONLY REASON I'M GIVING UP THE V-DUB IS I NEED TO HAUL A POWERED WHEEL CHAIR AND NEED A CLASS III HITCH RECEIVER.

ARE THERE ANY PROBLEM AREAS I NEED TO BE AWARE OF?

ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO DO IS TOW BEHIND MY MOTOR HOME. DOES ANYONE HERE TOW THEIR OUTLANDER?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hello every one glad to be here since i have owned a number of mitsubishi motors and just sold my 1993 colt to buy 98 3000gt that needs some work. Good thing I still have a backup pickup . Will have a few questions and hope I can help you all also. Thanks for having me.

hey whats going on everyone. names jay im from the nky cincy ohio area. I just recently not too long ago picked up a 91 Turbo Eclipse for really cheap off a new family member. Its still not running yet so I thought I would come here to ask some of my questions and see if I can get this awesome car to run again. I mainly have one question right now. I am getting fuel but no spark. I have tried coil and some other little things. Then I heard from a buddy the ecm under the dash could be bad. So I pulled it out and sure enough one the leaky resistors fried the board. I am trying to find another to replace but not having the best luck. My dad found one today however, out of a fwd (like mine) turbo 92 eclipse the numbers on the top match except for the very last number which is a 6 instead of a 4 like mine. He works on cars and told us this would work for mine for sure he guarentees it but I just wanted to see what you all say about it, and you all really think this is the main problem?? car ran fine forever then just died one day. I will also be checking the fuel pump relay cause I heard that could go bad too. What you all think I know its alot to read especially in my first post lol but I really need this car running soon. All help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks
Jay

Hello my name is daniel. I own a 1995 eagle talon TSI.. I love the car and it I highly modded.I am joined this form to meet other dsm lovers.

Hello everyone I only joined recently & have problems with my Magna that I hope can be resolved using this forum.


I have had my magna for just over a month, at first I didn't take much notice at my tachometer and assume it wasn't working till one morning when starting the car I've noticed that tachometer was actually working, so I gave it a little rev and wolla! the needle dropped to zero again & since then didn't work. After being to other websites I have noticed one person had the same problem and actually pulled the whole cluster apart before actually realizing it was a simple matter of a bad earth on the actual tachometer so he soldered a little blob and put it back together again and it worked perfectly.


What I'm asking here is; Is there other ways apart from pulling the whole cluster apart, to find this strange abnormality? I don't really know that much about cars myself and had just only replaced the alternator where the old one's bearings were shot and caused an aweful noise, but now that's gone and now I'm left with this tachometer problem.

A helpful reply would be nice if anyone can please give me some possitivity that can help.

Thanks In Advance

hey everyone, thought i would pop in and say hello,

names Cat and im in the northeast of england

always been a car nut and love going to shows etc

just bought my first mitsi, had a 200sx and needed more space so upgraded to an impreza wagon then decided we needed even more space so bought a 3.0 v6 challenger last week

got quite a few plans for it, just tinted the windows and bought a nice set of 20's that will hopefully be getting fitted this week sometime.

just a few pics of her so far.....







and one of the new wheels

I live in minnesota and I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI so basically it's an eclipse. It is a 3.0 V6 5 speed. I have a cold air intake with custom vents I made for it at the bottom of the bumper. I bought it 3 years ago used and it had the heads and cams replaced. I've also got a fidanza short shifter, tinted windows, and 20 inch chrome DUB rims. I love cars and so hopefully I'll be able to keep this car as a project car for a long time.

So, let's make a really long story short and say, The clutch went November 07, CAr was running perfectly before. And this was the second time the clutch went, so my dad got a 07 explorer and parked the Carisma In the yard since then. Now that im startign to drive I want to learn manual and this carisma being the only manual car around, It shall be my first car when I get it running.
Thats where i hope you guys can help. I know NOTHING about this car, or how to do any work to it. i recently tried to jump it but engine wouldn't respond.
But the ac, horn, clock, and windows all worked flawlessly.
so now can anybody give me ideas on what to trouble shoot to get it working, keeping in mind that this has been sitting here from 07, the 10th of september with nothing changed. Oil and all.

So this is my revival attempt. Before we get to the pics, Should i even bother with this engine? because I want to get a 4G63 in there anyway.
so the pics. before any work was done to it. [ BEWARE ]








[ After i got started ]












Let's hope we do this right.

I live in Arlington, VA (Washington, DC area). I just purchased a new 2009 Lancer GTS, manual transmission, Graphite Gray, Sun & sound pkg w/nav. I am hoping to add HID headlamps, LED tail lights, and maybe a rear diffuser. I love my new car, I have only had it 3 weeks and I have already put 2300 miles on it! Best car I have ever owned.

New to site from Daytona Beach Florida.
09 Lancer ES Sport - looking for cool mods

Hey my names Justin from NY, i recently bought my first car- 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL.
No its not a turbo, and no i dont plan on attempting to convert it to a turbo either, reading other GT forums, people say dont waste the money just buy a turbo. lol
I do plan on adding a few parts though, not entirly sure what yet i dont even really know the car that well yet
More than likly, ill be adding an intake first. Besides that ill just be making the car "pretty", painting it maybe this spring, new rims ect.
SOO yeah if anyones got any suggestions, advice, or anything along them lines id greatly appriciate it :]
