If no visible leak is found then turn on the heat on high. A slight sweet smell indicates a small heater core leak that does not show a visible leak. Look at the oil dipstick. If the oil is frothy or milky colored then the coolant is leaking into the oil. Check the engine compression. Low compression can be a blown gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinder.
Usually a heater core problem.
If the ignition on a 1995 Mitsubishi Diamante is not firing, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a faulty ignition coil, a malfunctioning crankshaft or camshaft position sensor, or a problem with the ignition control module. Additionally, issues with the spark plugs or wiring can prevent proper firing. It's advisable to conduct a thorough diagnostic check to pinpoint the exact problem.
i have the same problem email your solution please cfinster11@yahoo.com
its probably the spark plugs, they need to be changed i have an 03 diamante and the same thing was happening to me. I had the spark plugs changes and the problem was solved.
If the warning light on your Mitsubishi Diamante is flashing between drive and neutral, it likely indicates a problem with the transmission or an issue with the vehicle's electronic control system. This could be due to low transmission fluid, a malfunctioning sensor, or a more serious transmission issue. It's advisable to consult the owner's manual for specific guidance and consider having the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the problem. Ignoring the warning may lead to further damage or unsafe driving conditions.
Yes, I have read in forums for the Diamante, that it is caused by the speed sensor mounted in the front wheel hubs. With a test meter and some knowledge, you can diagnose which one is going bad. New replacement hubs are said to go for about $400.00 each, where as used ones around $150.00 each. I own a 2002 Diamante and this problem shows up off and on daily. Personally I'm not worrying about it because it doesn't affect day to day driving. This car only has 62000 miles on on it, but runs like a champ. Good luck in your problem.
In a 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante, the TCL light (Traction Control Light) indicates that the vehicle's traction control system is active or has detected a problem. When the light is on, it means the system is working to prevent wheel spin, particularly during slippery conditions. If the light remains illuminated without adverse weather, it may signal a malfunction in the traction control system that should be diagnosed by a professional. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific guidance related to warning lights.
If it gets cold enough the coolant will freeze and crack the block if there is no antifreeze.
You may have a head gasket problem or a cracked head, engine oil is mixing with the antifreeze.
how do i fix the problem if the tcl light comes on in a 2003 mitsubishi galant
Sounds like a head gasket problem to me in the least. If the overheating caused the leak then you may have to check the radiator, thermostat and water pump as well. Good luck.
Whats the problem? Blows cold air with the heat settings on?
