Hi -
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage that I use primarily as transportation to and from work. I have had the car since April and it has worked great for me. Last week, my low beams on my headlights went out but I still have High Beams. I have checked every fuse and and wire that I can possibly find and everything appears to be in working order. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? There have been no other issues with anything electrical. I am attempting to keep from going to a mechanics office because of the cost. Any of your responses would be much appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to repair my car myself.
It's a 1990 Mirage hatchback.
1.5L engine.
No turbo.
3 speed automatic transmission.
I've read through a number of threads on this site.
3 weeks ago my car seemed fine.
Then one day I started it, it turned over like normal, but then died.
I started it again, and drove 1/2 a city block before it died again.
I knew something was wrong, but started it again, drove about 3 blocks, and it died again.
This time it wouldn't restart!
Now the starter cranks, but the engine won't turn over.
G-G-G-G-G-G, but no BRMMMMMMMMMM!
I read on Wikipedia that some engines shut down when the oil gets too low.
I checked my oil and it was VERY low.
I added 2 quarts and got it back into the normal level, but the still wouldn't start.
I put a new coil in, but it didn't change anything.
The plugs are sparking.
I took them all out.
They're all sparking.
I opened the banjo fitting on the fuel filter, then cranked it for a half second before my dad hollered, "stop! fuel's coming up!"
I don't know what pressure the fuel is coming up at, because I don't have the tool to test that.
I removed the injectors and fuel rail, put paper under the injectors and cranked it.
The paper was dry.
I removed the wire connecters to the injectors, then hooked up an ohmmeter to the injector's wire connector.
When my dad cranked the engine, I didn't get any deflection on the ohmmeter needle.
I hooked up a 12 volt flashlight battery to an injector and it sprayed fuel.
(I probabaly shouldn't have used a 12 volt battery.
I read later that the power is cut to something like 1/4 of the voltage before it goes to the injectors.)
That's as far as I've gotten.
I have the wiring diagrams and schematics for the '89 Colt.
I'm lookinking through them for clues.
I tried to pull the OBD codes using an analog ohmmeter.
(I probabaly made a mistake here, too.
I unhooked the negative terminal on the battery while I was doing some of the previous work.
I didn't know that would erase the computer's memory.)
Anyway, I cranked it a few times to see if I could get any codes back in the memory.
With the key in the ignition and turned on (but not turned all the way to starting), the needle goes half way up on the meter and just sits there.
I also tried it with the key turned all the way to starting.
Same results.
The needle goes halfway up on the ohmmeter and stays there, no wavering.
I've read that a constant 12 volts means there are no trouble codes stored, but I haven't read anything about the needle going half way up and staying there.
Does anyone know what that kind of reading means?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ken

OK so here it is, have a 2000 Mirage DE auto 1.8. I'm getting a PO420 code for a bad catalitic converter. Pulled the part and it doesn't seem bad.....??? Current plan is to replace the part but, seeing as this is a $$$ eater looking to see if anyone knows if it could be throwing a false code.
Facts:
1. has stalled a couple times on cold start
2. if I clear the code it comes back in a couple of days
That's all I got.
Any help is much appreciated!

My wife's car keeps dying once I bring it to a stop light or any stop for that matter. It's a 1998 1.5 Mirage automatic. Once it stalls, I can start it up immediately without a problem, but the idle still seems unstable at that point.
Before yesterday, it would happen intermittently. Then, I changed the plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor, which were long overdue. Now it's stalling at EVERY stop.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

We've tried loctite (2 flavors), high temp thread sealer, various kinds of lock washers, but every single time the bolt backs out and this last time I lost it on the highway. I found a bolt that fits but it backed out even with the thread sealer and lockweashers and all the torque I could muster. It took less than an hour on thirty miles of highway. I am at wits end with this! I am about to take an arc welder and spot weld it fast.
Does anyone have a solution?

caserack@aim.comi have a 98 mitsubishi mirage with the 1.5l 4 cyl engine. for the longest time i have looked for a header and exhaust for this engine. the problem i continuously encounter is that i can only find the setup for the 1.8l engine.
i have 2 questions and the first one i am pretty sure i already know the answer too... haha...
1. would the 1.8l header work on the 1.5l?
2. where can i go to find a header and exhaust for the 1.5l engine?
thanks everyone for your help...

winter's coming and my hard starts are getting harder... my fuel pressure regulator isnt working. no fuel pressure when starting,and no change in pressure when i disconect the vaccum line to it. 5 minutes and 20 cranks later ill get her going. hesitation improves as i drive a few minutes. could the regulator cause the start and hesitation problem? as for the oil burning, blue smoke out the exhaust on stop to start. and there's oil seeping out the exhaust pipe to the turbo... valve stems?...

Im working on my friends 95 mirage 1.5l. it bent a rod and destroyed a piston when he was trying to use the car as a jet ski. well i have some doubts on how to set the timing right. since the motor was stuck i couldnt move the timing mark into place and i had to tear it apart as it was.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a...ingdiagram.jpgim using that out of a manual i found online. thing is since the piston was stuck i couldnt mode the timing to their timing marks i had to take it apart and now im a bit confused on this.
i know i have to set the #1 piston to TDC of the compression stroke. i think that settings the pistons is not the hard part. setting the heads is that i find the hardest.
im confused on the gears as the cam gear will rotate once while the bottom one will rotate twice thru the cycle. pretty much the heads gear is fool proof. now how do i set the pistons?
this motor moves two pistons to TDC and two go to BDC. i think that setting it either way will not create trouble. if i rotate the small gear in first or second rotation will not create problems.
anyways, can anyone clear my doubts??

Hi there guys, I have a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE 4Dr Sedan with 102,000 miles on it ... recently I have been hearing some noise in the front and when I check it up I found the struts leaking, which means it's time to get them changed.
I have shopped around and found the 2 most common brands to be the Monroe Sensa Trac and the Gabriel Ultra. I am not looking for anything fancy here so please don't propose the KYB, Bilstein or Kony
My question here is has anyone tried either brand? Can anyone recommend this one or the other? Both are almost same prices (62 $ for each side and the mount for about 50$ each side).
Another thing, do I need to add that strut-boot? it is just a plastic cover over the the upper part of the strut, but is there any drawback of not installing it?
Thanks everyone!!

OK,
So my car is not in the glory it once was,
On my list of "to do's" are the struts.
I wish to replace them, however, i would like to be able to change the springs to something more road-hugging.
Root issue: Should i replace my struts at home
If so, will i be able to fit some springs that will add better handling performance.
Please advise on how best to proceed.
Thank you Mitsu Dudes,

1990 Colt - 315K - 200E/1.5L - used to run great but then one day BAM! The car had been running fine all morning and then all of a sudden it was like someone pulled a plug wire. Horrible acceleration and stalling at stop lights and signs. I've checked the wires and they're ok, I've replaced the plugs, and the alternator and battery have both been tested and found to be fine. I've also replaced the fuel filter. I've read online and elsewhere that the EGR or a vacuum line could be to fault. I've had it in at a shop but they want to start with the basics and work their way up - all at my expense of course! This is a one owner car and it's been great over the 17 years that we've had her. Starts when it's minus 40, excellent on gas, no major expenses to speak of. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It started one evening when I turned on the lights, and the dashboard light did not work, I had to use a torch to see the speedo.
Then I noticed that the front headlight (passenger side) was not working, I replaced it. then one of the rear lights (the inner one of the two) passenger side was not working. I replaced that too.
Now, the problem has moved to the Rear lights on the drivers side, (the inner light does not work, and the bulb is fine), and when you put your foot on the brake, the break lights come on, and the one on the drivers side goes off.
I checked the fuses, they all seem ok
I checked the bulbs, they seem ok
Somebody said it was the earth, do you think it could be and how would I check this and fix this.
Incidentally this happened a few weeks after I had a stereo put in, and it worked ok so I dont think this is the problem, but I am not ruling this out.

Hi guys:
When I drive my 2000 Mirage DE I feel that when the car gets 60 mph in the highway, the engine slow down a little bit like if it had 5th gear. ( Mine has AT).
Reading about Auto Trannys in the Internet i found that some cars features something called Torque Converter Lockup.... is that the case of the Mirage's Transmision???
besides that, my car runs in prettu good conditions and mileage is excellent.

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage and one of the front speakers recently died. I'd like to replace it but can't for the life of me figure out how to get the door panels off. It looks like I may not have to take the whole door panel off because the speaker has a separate panel that forms the door pocket.
I've tried gently prying at both the main door panel and speaker panel without any luck. I'm afraid any more force will break the pins.
Anyone have any advice/instructions on how to get the panel off.

Just finished an engine change and am a little concerned about a couple things.
Car is a 1994 dodge colt. I pulled an engine out of a 93 colt but kept the intake manifold from the 94 mostly for the egr valve.
1. I've yet to see the fan run, the car still warms up to just under half way on the temp gauge like it always did, and he top rad hose still doesn't seem to be getting warm.
The two heater hoses to the firewall get really warm and I've seen steam from the bottom one. I've checked the fan ,relay and fuse all passed. Wonder if the thermostat is shot
2. There is a switch on the firewall for when the hood is opened that when i raise the hood the front signal lights flash on and off or sometimes just stay on.
I've been at this mess for 2 weeks and am open to suggestion. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi All,
I just got a 94 vista wagon,
It needs a new auto trans. I need help with either finding a trans or ideas on how to rebuild it cheaply. It does move but you have to rev to 400rpm to go forward or back.
To add to my woes the kids decided to clean the motor and interior WITH THE GARDEN HOSE. 10 minutes later the car is soaked in and out and under the hood and the engine will now not run.. well it started, ran 20 seconds and now will not start. It seems to have no spark?
Any assistance, ideas appreciated please!!

Hard too start when cold.
When i bought the car with 87,000 miles only issue it had was hard time staring in the morning. It takes about 10-20 minutes to start, but once you get it warmed up it runs fine all day and all night but once you park it overnight and try too start it in the morning the starting issue comes back.
Now after puting close too 15,000 miles on the car with this starting issue when driving the check engine light would come on when coasting (clutch pedel too the floor without pressing the gas peddle) but once you give it gas it would go off. Lastest issue is it stalling out when driving in the city.
Things i replaced.
fuel filter,cap & roter,spark plugs and wire,starter (1 year ago) + new battery.

Well I inherited a 94 Colt Summit Wagon, the mother in - law had it since new, now the transmission went and the repair shop said minimum $3-4000 to fix.
They decided it's not worth it. She gave it to me for free.!
I found a used transmission $500 and new wheels $500.
I spent 5 days cleaning,steaming, power-polishing and generally going through the car.
Pictures attached.
I tinted the windows $100, put in a sunroof from the junk yard $20 (no leaks!)
and generally cleaned fixed and maintained everything..
Now EVERYTHING works! except the cruise control which is intermittent, and the rear luggage tray is broken.
Anyone who can find me a rear tray (grey colour preferred but not necessary) and give advice on cruise control repair, would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.. enjoy my pics only have after shots,, no befores.

Dumb question #31039-
Is is normal to not be able to rotate by hand the outer (hollow) splined shaft going into the KM171 3-sp auto transaxle, or does this indicate some problem ? The inner shaft rotates easily.

Hey everybody, I've exhausted all search options for my problem and cannot find anything relating to it.
So here goes, I have a 1990 Mirage, 1.5l that is having problems starting in the morning. Basically, in the morning, the check engine light does not turn off, and this has come to tell me that it will not start. In the afternoons/evenings, the check engine light does turn off and it starts right up. Occasionally in the morning, the check engine light will turn off and it will start clicking a lot from somewhere behind/under the radio, and the car will run but every time it clicks, the car stumbles and wants to die. I just have no idea what it could be and really can't afford to take it to a mechanic.
The starter is brand new (as the old one went out), It has a refurbished ECU because the old one's cap's were leaking profusely, It also has a new cap and rotor, wires, plugs all within the last about 5000 miles. The car cranks just fine with this problem it just doesn't ever actually start running.
Any help or ideas on this are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
-Eric
P.S. If there is any other information that you need, let me know and I'll post it up ASAP.
