[FONT=Geneva][SIZE=7][COLOR=gray]Hi to all, I'm from mexico and i found a link whit a Mitsubishi Mirage Manuals free, and i like to share that information to all of you:

My Webpage.

TaNkS.........

sorry for my english......

My Car Has Been Acting Up At WOT every since it fell off those small ramps you use to gain access under your car.
it ran fine/perfect before that happened. The thing is after i came off the ramps i finished with my tune up and took the car around the block and it was sputtering and sounded like a go kart at any rpm. so i came back popped the hood and came to find one of the plug wires came off the distributor popped it back on and took another run , and noticed the car ran good as long as i didnt go WOT . When im in 2nd ill floor & get throw into my steeringwheel it will sputter/decelerate & the engine will sound like WAAAAAAAA!!!! When Its Decelerating and sometimes backfire. in say 4th ill go Wot and it will just sputter and not accelerate .. im stumped
WHAT IV DONE SO FAR

2X BRAND NEW PLUG WIRES AND PLUGS (gapping them what it says under hood , gapped them at the lowest and it seemed to help for a lil , but not much)
CAP AND ROTOR
MAF sensor from same car at junkyard / CLEANED OUT WITH MAF SPRAY

+ i have the records and receipts from the guy who sold me the car and he
replaced the whole Distributor about 2 years ago , Timing Belt 4 years ago , & Fuel filter a couple of months within selling me the car
looking at the all the receipts he took real good care of the car .

So im thinking its a Ignition problem , the shop was trying to tell my my vavles were bad and i thought that was BS ,
Im thinking the ignition timing is off or cam timing

HELP ME PLZ

For the last few days, I've noticed a distinct clicking noise from the front end driver's side. It stays consistent with speed (faster speed, faster clicking). I was doing about 45mph down the road, and pushed the clutch pedal in to see if there was any difference in the noise, and there wasn't. It doesn't change when the brakes are applied (aside from the clicking slowing down w/the car), and it doesn't change while moving down the road with it completely out of gear. I've had CV shaft issues with a past car, but the problem then was a clunking sound when I would make a turn (not currently an issue with the Colt). I had major trans. work done a few months ago, so that shouldn't be part of the problem.
I'm leaning towards a bad shaft, but the bellows are still in good shape (no tears or cracks). This car did sit for a number of years before I bought it (I was told that's why all my trans. seals were shot), but it's only got 51k original miles.
I have very little experience with this car so far, and would appreciate any insight as to what the cause of the noise is.
Thanks for the help.

I have a 2001 Mirage. After a long trip, my brake and battery lights came on. I went to a shop and had them test my charging system. They told me the alternator was bad, so I replaced it. After the replacement, the lights continued to come on, but intermittently. I took the new alternator out and had it tested as well as the charging system again at the shop. They said the new alternator might be defective, though it tested fine. I can try replacing it again, but I'm wondering if it's possible that I've overlooked something. I've read through other posts about similar problems, but haven't found a solution. Has anyone else had this problem?

i have a 1998 mitsubishi mirage with the lowering springs . the road crew left a giant hole in the earth with no warning so i hit it very hard. any way there's no adjusment left in the camber bolt. can i just cut the strut towers loose and reposition them and weld them back to allow for more alignment. or is there an easier way.

hallo,
does someone know which radio or CD was originaly fitted in mitsubishi mirage 1998year?
I need full name of model
thanks

I'v got a starting problem. my car has the 2.o liter and is awd, manual 5-spd. The first 2-3 times I try to start my car it will attempt to start and sometimes will start and run for about five seconds and the shut off. but if I try to start it more than 2-3 times, it will not get spark at all. I connected a spark plug light to the plug wires. and also grounded a spark plug to good ground. If I let it set for about an hour. I'll have spark again. I can hear the fuel pump and it smells of fuel so I don't think this could be the problem. any ideas ??? Thanks so much. Trevor

Hello,

I own a mitsubishi colt 4G13 engine 1.3L 12V 1996.
the engine light in dashboard sometimes lights on and goes, the car rides ok.
8 years ago i had an accident, the hood was replaced, the sticker disappeared.
Does anyone know if my Mitsubishi its "OBD II certified"?
If so, what its the best code reader for it?
Two days ago i bought a MaxiDiag JP701 (says compatible with mitsubihi 1996 models, but says always "error linking")

best regards

I'm a new member, but have been looking for months with no success.

I live in Greenville, SC. I'm looking for a 91-92 eagle summit/dodge colt (first gen). Not to be too specific, but I'd like it to be blue (factory color), 2dr hatchback, and MTX. 91 was the first year this was available.

looks like this:



here are the specs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Summit#....281989-1992.29

What's the best way to find a particular car like that? I've tried a nationwide search (as best I could) of craigslist and other various used car sales sites. Please share any info you have. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Cheers

I am changing my rear brake shoes. I have successfully done the left side, but the right side's brake drum won't come off. I have hit it many times with a rubber mallet, but all I have is just a little play. It seems like the shoes are inside a 'lip' of the inside brake drum or something like that.

Although I have a 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage, my rear brakes (and drum) are not like the one illustrated in fig. 73 on p. 9-16 of the online manual. My brake drum does not have the two bolt holes for taking off the drum. My rear brakes are more like the 1988 and earlier Mirage models shown on pp. 9-12 to 9-15 in the Haynes manual. There seems to be no way to access the shoes or adjust them in so that they can clear the drum. (My parking brake is off. The outer wheel bearing and wheel bearing nut are off, but not the inside wheel bearing).

The only thing I can think of to get the drum off is to try to cut the head(s) of the shoe hold down spring pin(s) on the back of the backing plate. That might loosen the shoes enough to get them to move and get the drum off. What do you think?

I just purchased a 95 Mirage over the weekend with 100K. I drove the car on a test drive and it drove fine. I had a wrecker to transport it home for me however when it got to me it would start. The engine will turn but will not fire. I am at a loss as to what to check next.

Looking at putting 15's on my 93 Colt and wondered what the widest tire I could fit in the wheel wells without rubbing are...

I just bought a 1993 Colt and it didn't even come with a cigarette lighter assembly (wtf?)

Anyone have one I could get? I need the receptacle, not the actual heating element.

Daughter crashed Penelope yesterday and the airbag deployed.

We can get parts off another car but trying to find out if anyone knows where the sensor/control unit for the airbag is? I'm told these things are normally under the centre console in front of the gear lever. Can anyone confirm this?

Its a 2001Y 1.3GL Colt - pic is pre-crash

Thanks.

Hello, I am very new here, and i have a strange request. A friend of mine has a 99 mirage DE sedan. one night her horn wouldnt stop honking. so i pulled the relay out from under the hood with the horn symbol on it. the horn stopped honking. i assumed it was a bad relay but it could be a stuck button i guess. anyway since then she lost the relay i pulled out. and i cant find a replacement, if someone could pop their hood and either send me a pic of the fuse box opened, or just post the PN for that fuse/relay. as i said before i identified it by the horn symbol on the top.

Thanks a bunch

I had a 1.5 and have a intermittent starting problem, I replaced the coil but no luck, could this be the fuel pump or the ECU, need help.

I have a 01 mirage with a problem passing inspection. The check engine light works but does not come on to indicate there is a issue. The inspection says that my egr and cat system are in a not ready state. This is my second go at trying to get my car inspected both times it has failed. I took it to a mitsu dealership and They recommended the egr system be cleaned and cat converter be changed. Well, I had the egr system cleaned, drove the car over a hundred miles or so but, on the second inspection, the same issue. There is something preventing the computer from reading those 2 system

Anyone who has experienced this or knows what the problem is please give some advice on how to correct the problem

Thanks

I just swapped a 1.8 in my mirage, it was a 1.5
the year is 93

i was wondering does the 1.8 have a bigger radiator then a 1.5?
thats the only thnig i can guuss whats wrong

Hi all,

(97 COLT) Just need some advice on the this problem i'm having with my radio.
when i got into the car one day the radio was tuned out...then i drove for 5 mins and it was fine.
its been getting worse over the past few days and now it wont really tune in atall.
is it aerial adapter or could it be thr radio? radio is only about 2.5 years old and its sony so its not shite so im convenced its not that.
any help or suggestions would be appricated! thanks.

i have a 89 dodge colt wagon 1.5L and i am getting a check engine light. How do you read the codes for this/? and if there is a port for a code reader where is is?


thanks for the help

My 1990 mirage will start and run fine when cold but after I drive it somewhere and let it sit for a few minutes it will not start, i have checked for spark at the coil wire and cap and there is a good arc to the cap so i know it is getting fire I also smell alot of fuel when it wont start. If I let it sit for 30 min to 1 hr it will start up right up again and runs fine. I initially ran codes with a analog volt meter and got a code 25 MAF sensor and a 45 but couldnt find that code , replaced the MAF and cleared the code but still having the same starting when hot problem, Could a bad fuel pump cause the problem even though I smell heavy fuel odors when it wont start? My next step is a fuel regulator that is located under the real seat, i have read this can cause this problem there is a test you can do so i may try that before i spend the 50 dollars, Does any one have any ideas ?
Thanks

I'm having problems starting my Colt Vista. It will crank and crank, I floor the accelerator, then let off like the manual says to, but that doesn't seem to help, takes nearly 5 minutes to start. I don't think my battery will hold out long like this. . but I occasionally hear a clicking sound from under the dash, and it will run then. when it does start, it runs good. Also, after its been running, if I take off the oil filler cap, there is lot of gas/smoke within the valve cover itself. Any help is greatly appeciated. I just got this vehicle a little while ago and don't know alot about them yet. Thanks. Trevor.

We lost reverse and neutral yesterday, we went in reverse and dropped it into drive to peel out. It seems like its in park.
we were told to adjust the linkage, how do you do it?

you guys mentioned that the computer port wass under the dash of my 89 dodge colt waagon 1.5l but i am unable to find it...? Is it in the fuse panel or what? Guess i need a better description where it is located....and how do you flash you own codes again?

thanks a bunch

just sold my 17x8 rims as they scrubbed on my 98 mirage, has stock height suspension and stock shocks, and i dont want to roll the guards. ive seen a mirage around here on the central coast with 18s on it, im wondering would 18x7 or 18x7.5 fit using 195/40 80 fit without needing to modify the guards. The reason im steering away from modding the guards is the cars in perfect nick and the last car i seen that had its guards rolled looked dodgey ie cracked paint.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a 1.5l auto engine for a 88 colt premier or something equivilant. Let me know if you got something, ksnyder1984@gmail.com, hopefully somewhere near michigan.

I have a 96 mirage with a 1.5, will a 1.8 fit?

Hello, I just bough a 1990 colt vista 4wd. It runs ok but I jacked all 4 wheels up and put it in gear and only the front wheels spin. ? I also drove on a gravel road and excellerated hard to spin the tires and only the front ones spun. The rear drive shaft is spinning and the diff has fluid in it. I don't know alot about the vehicles yet. thanks for any help. Trevor

A friend of mine has an 81 Colt with a broken front spring. It is the L version (this is in Canada) which evidently is built lighter that the usual Colt. The front springs are a smaller diameter than on the regular Colt. When her repair people order springs they always get the larger ones which do not fit.

Does anyone have a part number and/or source for these springs?

Paul

Hi,i know im new and youll al probably hate me,but ive been doing grass track events and am looking for another colt to do the next one in as if not for 2 punctures then id have won the last event by a long way!
Bodywork is absolutely of no importance so if you have a bashed up one then ill still be interested

If anyone has one,or even a few then i can shift them

Thanks

Where can I purchase a timing kit for a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage Dingo chassis CQ2A with a 1.5L 4G15 DOHC engine? The local Mitsubishi dealer is failing to locate the correct timing belt for this car in their database. However, the dealer has managed to locate the other parts viz. Tensioner + spring + idler (which they can order).

The part number I have is MD365803.

From a google search, this timing belt belt is also found on the following vehicles: 1998+ 1.5L Lancer / Mirage with these part numbers: MD366043 / MD368413

According to some other supplier, the correct timing belt has the following characteristics (not sure if this is correct): 25mm, 141 Teeth, 8mm Tooth Pitch, Round Form

Recently got these online-

exhaust manifold 87-92 colt/mirage 1.5l $22.24 speedycarparts.com
exhaust downpipe (piece with the flex section) 87-88 colt/mirage 1.5l $50.72 theautopartsshop.com
front wheel bearing 85-92 colt/mirage (& various Hyundai well into 90's) $9.15 clearlyauto.com

and shipping was reasonable on all, too.

Manifold is China made, have used before and is good, put one in Colt before and this is for recent Mirage acquisition (apparently ALL of the original manifolds cracked in these cars, and these aftermarket ones are cast much more heavily in the middle where the problem was). Just check to see if O2 sensor will need a sealing washer added to keep tip off inner material, and shroud bolt holes may have to be cleaned out a bit. And comes with plugs for sensor hole (with washer you can transfer if needed) and AIR injection port in case you want to run without these (getting the AIR pipe out of the old header without damage is nearly impossible).

Downpipe is Canadian made (Bosal) nice quality, but has a nonstandard hanger extension that will not work directly with the stock hanger, and the heat shields have to be transferred from the old one of course (they are all like this). You can be quoted upwards of $200 for this in a parts store, so grab one if you think you will need it.

Wheel bearings are Chinese, but seem OK, and as you know generally these are getting kind of pricey lately (around $30 or so, as appear also on this site; note for some reason they only listed this one as "front inner" when outer are the same part) and you need two per side.

Interestingly, Rock Auto beats these sites on most other parts, but not these ones, though they sell a nice maniold kit with hardware and gaskets for around $60, and the Bosal pipe there is $57.

It pays to shop around !!

Just changed the trans oil in my '87 Mirage (mostly to get rid of the EP gear oil) and was surprised there is no magnet in the drain plug. Is there possibly some other location for a magnet that can be removed and cleaned ? This is the 5-speed. There is a bolt on the top of the casing that could be it, or just might be a plug for an elec component not used here; don't know. Also, will be changing fluid in my automatic. Any benefits to using the new (& expensive) Dexron VI (which does meet old Dexron II specs) or should I just stick to regular Dexron/Mercon (which is good up to Dexron III) ? And what's the deal with ATF+4, used in current Mitsubishi automatics I believe, besides its being very expensive also ?

Hello,

I took apart my interior yesterday to paint most of it. the only thing i cannot get is the center piece that goes over the speedometer dash and around the cd player and air vents. its the main piece. i got one screw that was right above the cd player. but what else. i cant figure anything out. right now the inside of my car looks like a piece so i need to get it out and painted so i can put the REST of the car. please someone help. oh i almost forgot lol. 1999 mitsubishi mirage de.

hey guys, okay so im in the process of saving for one, just wondering how much would a complete 1.8 ltr engine with wiring harness and ecu etc cost if i say got it from a wreackers? or anyother places i could get one for cheap without too many kms

now i just got a rebuilt 1.8 swapped into my 93 mirage
and it idles ok but the ac makes it idle rough, (which it did for the 1.5, so im not surprised)

but has anyone ever felt a slight hesitation after giving it a rev? its a very slight and short hesitation, but a hesitation none the less
by hesitation i mean the rpms drop below the idle and it almost feels like the engine is about to die, but it packs right back up, prbaly not even a seconds worth

i was told idle is controlled by the ecu, so could the ecu be going bad??

My 1995 Mirage idle seems to pulse like a heartbeat. What might be causing this?

i have a 1997 mirage 1.8l and, i want to make it a bit faster. i dont want to turbocharge, or engine swap. i always wanted to raise the compression with a thinner headgasket, but, now the tech i work with tells me it will be better if i throw in a nitrous kit. im stuck between these two. can anybody maybe help me out?

nitrous kit will be a 55 or 75 wet shot. preferrably zex.

how much power gains will i see (because almost always its a little bit less than what it claims.)


now, raising the compression from 9.5 i think to about 10.2, what gains do you think ill get there?

will i need any supporting mods for any of these? i figured with the raised compression i might need a better radiator, since all that extra power means more heat. and, with the nos i might need a new fuel pump, maybe mine has worn out, and we all know what happens when you run nos with a lean cylinder : BOOM.

any help will be appreciated. thanks.

i recently changed my oil and i used those 2 ft ramps to gain access to under the car , anyways as of reversing off the ramps the car fell off the ramps
and every since my cars been acting funny at WOT (wide open throttle) . i can accelerate all the way up to redline 6.5 k if i dont floor it , but if i floor it say 2nd it will stop at 5k and sputter (backfire sometimes) like a rev limiter .
ive already replaced

the plugs and wires (twice brand new in a week just to be sure + gapped at correcty gap)
distributor cap and rotor
used MAF from the junkyard cleaned out with maf cleaner
air filter

i was going to replace the fuel filter , but figuered my car didnt run like $%^& till right after i fell off the ramps
so i returned it

im stumped . help please

Hey guys..... 1992 Colt Hatchback.

I been looking for an automatic seat belt assembly for driver side for a Colt Hatchback P/N MB558045.

Also, the upper rear mount (insulator) this has been discontinued by mitsu.... P/N MB584000.

Please PM me,,,, or e-mail me at ovvazquez@gmail.com

Thanks.

i dont know really the mechanic said one of my wires on my MAF harness shorted out , or is loosing connection i guess when the engine vibrates from the high rpms , he is going to solder it back

I have just noticed that some of the wiring in this car has been cut up and electric taped. My turn sigals and hazards quit on me. I need a wire diagram to figue out what is going on. I need a diagram. 96 mirage, 1.5.

i have a 89 dodge colt with a 1..5L and it is having problems staying running after it is first started......When it sits overnight and you then go out to start it it will start right up but will only idle at like 500rpm and if you try and give it gas it will stall out...and if you just let it idle like that a few minutes it will then kick in and go up to about 1000 rpms and be fine...wondering if anyone had any ideas.....? i just replaced the distributer cap and rotor and no such luck....it also has a check engine like that comes on and off..might have something to do with it...it sometimes also makes a difference if its parked on a hill..could it be a failing fuel pump? and how would i go about checking that?

thanks for you help..
