since i have experienced most of the same problems that are on this board (4wd, radio not working, etc... thanks for the info, btw!), i'll ask this as well.... does anyone have trouble with an extremely noisy undercarriage? my mechanic says it is the bushings, but it sounds like the underside of my car is going to fall apart (2002 montero sport ls) and it also squeaks, squeals, and rattles while driving down the road... any suggestions??? it's getting embarassing, but i don't want to have it in the shop for just bushings and have to take it back for something else.... thanks!!! amy |

It happened that the Mitsubishi Montero had been running on the same oil for about 25 k miles  further, the oil was replaced and nothing seems to be wrong with the car now - what potentialy could come out of that - what might I'll have to replace in the future because of that irresponsible exploitation? Also are the pics of the engine crossections in the internet?

| I had my serivce engine light come on, I had auto zone plug in their tool and it gave me a reading that said the crankshaft sensor was going out, then I called some repair shops and they said that I should get my timing belt replace with it, is this true, or are they just trying to get me to spend more money? | |

2001 Montero Sport Intermittent starting problem. Electrical problem? Car won't start. Sometimes turning key from "off" to "on" position nothing happens. No lights, bells, etc ... Sometimes turning key from "off" to "on" everything is OK. I get lights, bells, etc ... But, when turning to the "start" position all lights go off and no sounds. No starter clicking or anything. If I fiddle with the battery cables. Wiggle them, take them off and put them back on again. It will start. Not sure if I have to consistently take them off to get a start. It will start again for about the next one to two hours. If I wait overnight it won't start. Have to mess with the cables again. Battery and alternator have been tested at Autozone. Battery retested at Sears. Everything OK. Any ideas. I am afraid this is going to cost a lot more money. Took it to a shop and it wouldn't happen for them. But, that was when it was working more than not. And now it is more not. Idiots confession - after reading some on the web I thought it had to be an ignition switch problem. Guy at the shop wasn't sure but, I told him to go ahead and replace it since it was my wife's car. I guessed incorrectly ... $250. Have done some searching but, have not found this problem described online. Any help would be appreciated. -Thanks

Replying to: qp68 (Apr 11, 2008 4:47 pm) On your starter there is a small wire conected to the solinoid. This wire powers your starter to start. This power comes from your switch through an alarm if you have one, to a relay, through a harness down to the starter. If you can connect a cheep remote starter switch to it and a visible 12v light wired in. The next time it doesn't start, see if the light lights ups when you turn the key. If it doesn't, its something interfering with the power going down to your starter. Then to get on your way, hit the remote starter switch with the key in the run position. If this light does light up when you try and crank it, and it doesn't crank. Bad starter most likely or not enough voltage to that wire, only enough to light up the light. If it will start now with the remote starter switch, then you deffinitely have something interfering with the proper voltage of about 12 volt + or - about a half volt. |

Hey I own a 2002 Montero Sport with 335,000 miles.  I am the original owner. Original tranny and engine, no overhaul or major component replacements. The vehicle runs like a champ with plenty of power and only rarely smokes when it idles for a long time. However here recently I have been going through alternators like crazy. I have changed it about 5 times in the last year and a half.  This past time I noticed when I changed it and then drove it at night that the headlights pulse and flicker bright and then dim. It even does it at highway speeds. It looks like a police car when they fllicker. I have checked all the connections and the parts place tested the alternator and battery and both are good. Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you do or does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be wrong. I need some help.....Thanks.
