The car is a non turbo SL model. I bought it and it has not even been registrered yet. I had the bumpers painted and parked it. If it has a bad head Gasket, wouldn't it smoke all the time? It only smokes sometimes and the smoke has a slight bluish tint to it.

Start by dumping a bottle of injector cleaner in your fuel tank, if you want.
I wouldn't be attempting to change an oil pump on a hunch.
Blue could be rings letting oil slip buy and be burnt in the cylinder.
A head gasket is the seal between the engine block and the head. As the head and engine heat up, there is expansion and contraction going on.
Why don't you take it somewhere and have them check out your engine, you really should have had that done that prior to purchase. What is your compression in each of the cylinders?

Hi, I'm sorry I don't have any information regarding to your question. However, I have a 95 3000GT(sl) that you can help me with. I like to know the position of the VIC (variable induction control) motor. The VIC motor is mournted (with three screws, two on the top and one on the bottom) just above the timing belt cover. There is, some sort of a alignment, the mark on the intake manifold must match with one of the three teeth on the VIC motor. If your VIC motor hasn't been tempered with or if you believe it's in the correct position, I appreciated if you can help me out!
Thanks

I have a 98 3000 GT (not VR4). There is no pressure in the clutch at all, when pushed in it stays on the floor. Before it went out it was jumping like it was out of gas. Can some please help??

Its your slave cylinder. I just had that happen on my car. It spuddered and then the clutch went to the floor and wouldnt come back up until I popped it up. They're about $40 to $60 at the auto parts store.

Do you know how to replace brake parts (like wheel cylinders on drum brakes) and bleed hydraulic brakes?

I have been reading about how to bleed the lines, I am no mechanic but the car won't move now so I figure I might as well try if it has to be towed to a shop anyway. Everyone I have talked to says that it is not hard to change, and I am broke and need my car running. I really just need some instruction as to where the slave is... Im thinking I should just get a manual?

Why don't you just get some of those folks that says it is not hard to do, to come over and do it for you. Have them bring the manual and all the tools, you buy the parts and fluid. Buy them a dinner, and you're set.
Hopefully they've actually done it, and not practicing on your car.

It seems that no one wants to work on a mitsubishi. I have dabbled under the hood of several cars and I really think that I could do it with a little guidence.
