Mitsubishi Galant

where is the thermostat located in 2001 Mitsubishi galant v-6

Run a diagnostic test, if you have a bad oxygen sensor the computer will display the code that indicates the oxygen sensor is bad. Usually irregular idle speed is caused by a vacuum leak or sometimes the AC circuit speeds the engine a little when the AC clutch is engaged. The AC compressor is used by the defroster inmost vehicles to dry the air, so just because it's winter don't think your AC isn't comming on. Simple answer, no, it's probably not the oxygen sensor. Many people have no idea what they are talking about. It could be the EGR valve, but that would typically be controlled by something else that might be causing the irregular idle speed. If it idles super slow sometimes, check for a faulty EGR valve, but most often a high idle speed is caused by vacuum leaks. TRY REPLACING THE THROTTLE POSION SENSOR ITS LOCATED RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE THROTTLE BODY WERE THE ACCLARATER CABLE HOOKS UP

The belt is one tooth off. Could be in either direction. Check the timing marks again or move it one tooth one way and see if it makes a difference. If not, move it 2 teeth the other direction. If all you did is change the belt, this has to be what's wrong. If you don't have the slack in the belt on the correct side, when you tighten the tensioner it will cause either the cam or crankshaft to move just about 1 tooth. Probably the cam since there is less resistance there. Took me a couple of times on a Camry before I could see what was going on.

Firing order 1-3-4-2

Dist cap. 4-1-2-3

this awnser is unknown.

WITH A DISTRIBUTOR, A 2.4L (4G64), THE FIRING ORDER IS 1-3-4-2 AND THE PLUG ORDER ON HEAD (FROM FRONT) IS 4-3-2-1. THE DISTRIBUTOR ORDER IS 2-3-4-1 AND IS COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION.

The standard time for a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant from 0-60 mph is 9.0 seconds, so it will take 16.7 seconds to travel 1/4 of a mile. Hope this info is useful.

The idle speed is factory pre-set, and no adjustment is available. If the idle is too high, or too low, you will be having other problems that will affect the idle. In cooler temperatures, it will take the engine longer to come out of fast idle, as the engine warms up to operating temp. If the idle is too high/stays at a higher than normal idle, then take the thing to get it repaired. Running a car in gear(automatic transmission) with a higher than normal idle, can damage the transmission.

no charging

drain oil from oil pan,by un-doing oil pan nut, then with oil filter wrench undo filter. Then install new filter and pour oil in were it says "OIL" in the filler cap.Check oil level with dipstick. First time will take about an hour, then after that 20 minutes tops.

Without a doubt! Most people make the mistake of trying to re-crank a car after the belt has snapped because the car just "dies" without warning. The re-cranking of the car is what causes valve damage in the engine because the belt, which controls the timing of the engine, is gone. Engine parts are now just flailing away hitting against each other causing internal damage.

Castrol coolant is compatible with the green liquid Mitsubishi from new. Use this only.

it is in the disturber under the cap

It needs to be taken to a dealership. It's done with a scan tool.

There is a small plastic piece that rotts away after years of use. Any mechanic can replace it in 15 min.

i believe it is on the left side of the console about the dash line inside the car

2002 Mitsubishi Galant headlight bulb replacement: Purchase the correct replacement headlight bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the headlight bulb replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

Have your motor mounts and transmission mount checked.

Should only take four quarts but when changing the oil pour slowly and keep checking the dip stick.

Don't know this cars specifics, but usually, if the alternator light is on in your dash (the battery symbol) it means that your alternator is not charging your battery or that your battery cannot hold a charge.

If it's a 2 litre GLX, and from 2004, it has approx. 133hp. The 1997 mod had 136 hp. There is also a bigger variant of this car, 4WD og FWD with 163 hp coming from a V6! This car is called the "VR4 Legnum"

The plug hole is near the right belt tensioner just to the outside along the edge of the engine block where the crankshaft position sensor electrical wiring enter the front casing or near where the a/c belt pulley bolts up to the engine block.

The water pump is located in the shroud that houses the timing belt. This is why the pump is changed when you get a new timing chain.

This sensor requires very expensive tools (beyond the lay person needs) to check/measure. It is not recommended. This testing is beyond the scope and experience of the diy mech. It is recommended to purchase an appropriate scan tool to "monitor" data or other data stream display.

NOT SURE WHAT YOU WANT HERE.

IF YOU NEED A "COST"-SEE A "GoOD" MECHANIC. HE WILL GIVE YOU THE TIME, THE COST/HR. AND A CLOSE "BALLPARK" CHARGE FOR THE REPAIR YOU ARE REQUIRING.

YOU CAN FIGURE THAT ANY PARTS WILL BE RETAIL TO YOU AND 20-25% OFF "WHOLESALE" TO HIM.

You cannot turn off the Daytime running lights on a Mitsubishi Galant without cutting the wire. This is because the car is set up to have these lights on at all times during operation.
