Hi All, Well i will start at the beginning, i bought this mistsi 99 reg galant 2.0 gls on friday, the bloke had informed me that he had had another alternater fitted after he had used the air con to demist the windows with the car ticking over and it had killed the alternater.

saturday started it and it seemed slow to turn over but got me to work and back fine (12 miles) then on sunday,...

Hi, If somebody can help, I have a Galant, 2003, 84000KM: few months ago, I tried to start the engine, the battery was gone, and I forced it to start, then the car didn't start. I change the battery with a new one, and from that day the car is pinging at low RPM (up to 3600 TPM approx). it seems like no power, and te problem is bigger when AC is on. I clean EGR valve, reset the PCM, change the...

My 2001 Galant has a tapping noise coming from the valve cover- I assume it is a valve noise. It happens as soon as I start the engine, and sometimes stays even when the motor is fully warmed up. Occasionally it disappears, but always comes back. My mechanic said not to worry about it if it does not get any worse, but I'm not crazy about that. The car has 60,000 miles on it and I've...

I think I blew a fuse trying to hardwire my Sirius into the power behind the radio and now I can't get to the radio fuse to replace it. I thought it would be in the passenger compartment fuse box, but there's not a fuse in the radio slot in there, so it must be the engine compartment one. Well there's this yellow box around the radio fuse and the dome light fuse in the engine...

Hey, I've got a friend who has an 03 4 cyl Galant and wanted to try to turbo it. Just wondered if any of you guys have tried, or know of anybody who has. He wants to run low boost, just into it for a project pretty much. Any info???

Hi guys and gals.

I'm really hoping someone can help me with a problem that is both driving me nuts and embarrassing.

I have an 02 Galant ES 2.4L 4 cyl that squeals like a stuck pig especially when its cold outside (usually not too noticeable when it's warm out). When the car was under warrranty, I took it back to the stealer and they replaced all the belts. This...

Does anyone know if the 01 Galant has an emergency trunk release? I have an 01 GTZ and the truck won't open with neither the driver side release lever nor the key. It opened fine up until this weekend at which time I opened it normally with the key, loaded some luggage, closed it normally, got in started the car, remembered I needed something out of the luggage, tried the inside release, it...

I have a problem with my 2000 Galant GDI. When idling or driving the cars acceleration power goes up and down erratically on its own. This is not a consistent problem but is getting much worse. This shows in the revs, changing from between 500 and 3000. It feels very jerky and is starting to really annoy me. I am taking it back to the dealership today as it has a warranty for repair but I...

Seat belt on passenger side is twisted and tongue incorrect, seems like belt was installed incorrectly. As long as twist remains before inner bolt it returns properly. Today twist went through inner bolt now had to manual return belt into position. Has anyone correct this problem, it not just undoing bolt next to floor and untwisiting it.

Hi ALL,

Had a timing belt problem with my 1999 Mitsubishi Galant GDI (4G93). After having the engine done, the car is smoky and compression is not good. Would an engine replacement do? Where can I get a used one? My dealer does not have any.

Yesterday i was accelerating and my engine hesitated a bit at first then accelerated fine and then the service engine soon light came on. I could feel the power loss. Ive been scouring the forms here and it sounds like it might be a problem with the wires and plugs, and that it could have been a cylinder misfire. I still am going to go get the PCM checked, but i would like to know before i go, if...

I have been having a continual and annoying problem with my 1999/2000 2.0ltr Gls Galant. After a rather unfortunate incident with the timing belt, and the subsequent replacement of a number of valves I got my car back. I have since noticed an unusual “judder” when the engine revs are held between 1000 and 2000 rpm. I have noticed it slightly when accelerating through but one the engine is...

Men, help me!! I have my alternator completely disconnected. For the life of me, I can't find a hole big enough to remove the dog-gone thing. That is without doing some more major dis-assembly. I'm hoping I don't have to take a bunch of stuff apart to finish the job.
It probably didn't help that I was/am frustrated with the wife, and I'm broke, and my left...

Does anyone know or has done it , if I can fit 20" Rims on my 01' Galant? I know it depends on the tire size. I currently have 18" Rims w/ 40 series tires! How low in series can I go? Will anything rub? Any advise is good...thanks guys!

I discover in a few instances and flashing light didn't come on till after a few minutes after I lock the car and...

I bought a 2.4 GDI Galant (year 2000, manual) about 4 months ago with 120 000 km. I bought it in Germany and wanted to register in another country and the problems started to unfold only during registration procedure as I had to take it to inspection where it turned out the emission rate (all components) is too high.
I took it to a Mitsu dealership. They said the katalysator and O2 sensors...

Hey, guys!

I'm looking at a 2001 mitsu galant es. here's some info:

the car seems to drive rather smooth, i liked it, but the radio requires some code(how much does it cost to get?) to work and there is a little knocking sound while driving sometimes, don't know what that might be. we'll take it to midas or firestone tomorrow to check it out.

I've been noticing that my coolant level has been decreasing over the past 12 months. I keep adding coolant but unable to notice the leak, the leak seems to be a very slow one. I went to the dealer to replace the Oil sensor last week and mentioned that my coolant slowly leaks and he mentioned that it's a know issue with the clamps on the hoses. Has anyone had similar experience?

Whats Up Everybody

I live in Toronto and drive a 2003 Mitsu Galant ES with 85,000km. Everytime I turn the tempurature knob from hot to cold a noise comes from behind the dash and remains for a minute, then goes away. My A/C & heat work fine I get cold & hot air its just the noise. I recently took it to a Mitsubushi Dealer and the technician heard the noise and told me my heater...

How do I go about replacing the v belt and serpentine belt? I looked under the hood and it seems the alternator has a bolt on top that will loosen it to release the belt, IDK? The serpentine belt, seems as if there is a bolt under the powerstearing pump on a bracket, it seems as if it will release the idle pully letting the belt loose? I know im just thinking this, but am I right and how to...

Hello all. First time poster, first time participant.

What's the opinion on those chips on eBay offering 20+ hp increases? I understand the logic behind how they work, and I see lots of "satisfied" customers on eBay for them - but haven't noticed anyone talking about them here.

Anyone tried them or know someone who has?

I have got a 1999 2.5 V6 galant. At the moment it has four different tyres, all expensive top brands but I would rather have 4 the same.
What would be the top choice? The car has 195x15 R60 wheels. I want something not too expensive and with a reasonable life and good wet weather grip.

recent in an MSN car reliability report tool, i found that the 02 galants were superior in reliability in all things except what they called a "water stop motor" which apparently is part of the AC system. now, i know an awful lot about my galant and its parts but what does a water stop motor do and where is it?

you can take a peek at the article

Hello;
Yesterday I was stopped by the police. He said he pulled me over becuase my licence plate bulb was not working; actually looking for drunk drivers. Anyway, I replaced the bulb and it still does not come on when the headlights are on, it only comes on when I open the trunk. If this is normal, then great, I can tell the next cop to find a better reason for pulling me over...

My instrument cluster is only half-lit (right-side). I guess there are two or more bulbs to illuminate the right-side (tachometer), center (speedometer), and the left-side (fuel and coolant).

I KNOW there is a thread for horn issues, but I wanted to start this one because I think it might be unique.

If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it.

The other morning at 7AM I woke up to the sound of my car horn blaring on its own. While I was getting my tools and ready to disconnect the battery cable my wife goes out there and fiddles with the horn part on the...

I have a 2003 Galant V6 with a O2 sensor malfunction in bank 1 sensor 2. I know bank 1 is on the same side the spark plug 1, but I am not sure which sensor is # 2. Can someone please tell me if sensor 2 is behind the upper intake manifold or underneath the car?

Hi All,
Yesterday, i put the heater of my car on, but it was not blowing hot air...instead cold air was coming from the vent. So, this morning i went to Fire Stone to get the problem resolved. Initially, they said that since the coolant was low, they have to perform the pressure test to find the leak and then later radiator flush was done and thermostat was replaced.
After all this...

Sorry about that everyone. Forgot one of the main criteria - the vehicle! It's a RHD 2000 Galant for the UK

My buddy volunteered to fix it for me.

So far we've replaced the fuel pump, ignition coil, and cam position sensor.

And it still won't start.
