Remove the serpentine belt , runs alt , AC and such try to start if starts, and probly will, check to see which pulley or unit is seized up Alt AC water pump
solenoid is bad ,have it replaced,but check for remote solenoid first some vehicles have another solenoid mounted closer to battery
That means the solenoid IS working, but power is too low to turn the starter. Check and if necessary clean or tighten the battery terminals. If still the same, charge your battery on slow for at least 12 hours, or get another battery.
Got to check the connections. The connections at the battery as well as at the solenoid/starter. There may also be an ignition switch problem but this would likely cause other problems as well. The connections should clean and tight and if your battery terminals are an after market type the part where the cable goes inside the terminal needs to be checked and cleaned if it can be disassembled. The starter solenoid is usually mounted on a fender close to the battery in the engine compartment and are notorious to cause failure and often times intermittent failures as well (one time it works another time it doesn't).
Another possibility is loose or corroded wiring connections.
high resistance in your battery cables and low resistance in your starter from over heating or reversed battery connections at one time or another the combination togethe would create a large arc across the solenoid internal contacts possibly welding them togeter or over heating the solenoid winding resulting in no contact plate movement or starter running out of control
Looking at the solenoid from the front, and working towards the left, the right terminal will have one wire that goes down to the starter. The little push-on wire (usually red) will be the one that goes next. There may be another little push on, or a couple of wires with terminals- they all get attached to the next small terminal. The last terminal on the left of the solenoid is where the battery wire, and any other accessory wires go.
Start with the easy things first. I had this issue and it was a loose battery terminal. The terminal had corroded to the point that the battery made poor contact. I cleaned the battery connections, but could not get the connector tight enough to make a good connection. I eventually replaced the cable (under warranty). The battery also had to be replaced as it had been drained and recharged so many times, it had lost its umpph. Another possibility is a bad starter solenoid or a bad starter. Good Luck!
Its likely either the battery connections (terminals) are dirty, or where they connect is...or the battery while showing a charge is bad when on a load. If it starts with a jump from another car...it's the battery.
Yes, the Diamante has an EGR solenoid. On any Mitsubishi, if the car has an egr valve, it has a solenoid to operate the valve. Just follow the vacuum line from the valve and it will go to the solenoid. There may be another one way valve between the valve and the solenoid, though. The solenoid is electronic.
Another example is a switch, bulb, solenoid, and a motor. When the switch is turned on current flows through the bulb, solenoid and motor simultaneously. This causes the bulb to light, the solenoid to the activated and the motors spindle to rotate, all at the same time.
it should be your starter solenoid. Your positive terminal on your battery will have one wire running from the battery to a terminal on the solenoid. (there might also be a few more smaller wires leading to that terminal from under the engine) Another wire should be leading from the opposite terminal on the solenoid directly to your starter. There will also be one or two smaller terminals on the front (one labeled "s" and "i". the one labeled S will have a much smaller wire leading to your ignition on the column.
It is located above the pan in the transmission. There are two identical solenoids located beside one another, Solenoid A and Solenoid B, and if I remember correctly from when I changed mine out it is located toward the front of the transmission. They are small, rectangle shaped and are both held in with clips. I didn't know which was which, so I just replaced them both while I was at it. They run around $20 apiece at your local auto parts store.
