first of all, did the engine make any kind of noise or major vibration when it went out. If it made some loud noises, and shuddering, I would check your timing belt. Depending on the type of engine you have, if your timing belt just gave way, then you could have just ruined your upper eng. Meaning that when the belt goes, the pistons and valves smash into each other, thus at least ruining the heads. And of course your engine will stop immediately. That would be the worst case scenario. If your engine just quietly stopped, it could be many things. I'd start with electrical. Check your main fuses, your ignition fuse, and battery and alternator connections. I know its not much but you gotta start somewhere. Good Luck. Mark H. mrkhh

Your 2002 Mitsubishi galant timing is off?
Hello: I am doing a overhaul on my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. I inadvertently moved the crankcase while trying to remove the small timing belt while the larger timing belt was off. Knowing that, I would like to know is there a procedure to follow to correct this?
How do you rest the codes for your 2004 Mitsubishi Galant?
Use an OBDII code reader or a scan tool or try disconnecting the battery for a while.
Would a faulty IAC valve make a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant stall at a low idle?
Yes, it would. While the Throttle plate is closed when not pressing on the gas pedal. The IAC is a bypass passage that allows air to continuous flow to the engine. I just had the same problem with my 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. I unplugged the IAC and the engine no longer wants to stall out, it just runs at a higher RPM to compensate for the nipple on the IAC not moving back to create the bypass passage.

My Mitsubishi Galant died while driving now wont start?
check the engine fuse it might be blown,or timing belt it might be wornout I had this problem happen twice to me, where it died on the road and I had to pull over and it would not start. This was a 1994 Mitsubishi Galant. The mechanic replaced what I think is the internal distributor, it was some electronic black box literally, and after that it was fine. I guess they burn out every 7 to 10 years.

Mitsubishi Galant out of gas how to get it started?
Open up the hood, remove the retainer wire clip or radiator hose clamp on the intake housing to the engine, pull the rubber air tube away and spray in stater fluid into the opening while someone cranks the engine. Please note here: 1)be sure there is gas in the tank for the engine to continue running and 2) do not use gas-use of gas is an engine fire asking for a chance to happen!!
