#155 of 232 O2 Oxygen Sensor in 2002 Montero Sport 3.5 by johncage Aug 28, 2008 (9:39 pm)
Hello,   Error codes indicate the sensor 1/bank 1 O2 sensor is causing my check engine light to come on once the engine warms up on my Montero. It appears that sensor is located on the drivers (left side) and I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone may be able to answer. First, how do I determine if it's a California or Federal model sensor (and if I erred on the replacement, would it matter)? - I don't live in California...   Next, what's the easiest access to this sensor? It appears that perhaps popping loose the mud flapping material may allow access through the wheel well. Thought I'd look for someone with experience before getting into this.   Finally, I'm somewhat inclined to purchase the OEM replacement and was looking at the Bosch replacement from Autozone. They also sell a 'universal' Bosch that is supposed to work fine. Anyone have opinions on this? Any help is greatly appreciated.   John Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Sep 17, 2008 9:15 pm)
#156 of 232 1999 Montero stalls by angelarey Sep 17, 2008 (7:27 pm)
I have a 1999 Montero. It needed a new battery. upon isntalling the new battery, it started stalling when you started, breaked or coasted. It idles at 800rpms then just abruptly jumps to zero and stalls. Also, no check engine lights appear. Any ideas? thanks, Angela Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Sep 17, 2008 9:17 pm)

The generic you have to splice your old plug and have to get the wires wired in correct.

Replying to: angelarey (Sep 17, 2008 7:27 pm) First make sure you don't have a loose battery cable end. Sometimes after battery replacement the cannection may appear tight but isn't. Try to wiggle it, if it moves, it's loose.
#159 of 232 Needed maintenance? by cdf22 Oct 06, 2008 (3:47 pm)
I'm new to this forum so thought I could get some help. I have a 2002 Montero Sport LTD, bought brand new. The only maint. I've done is replace the plugs and an alternator belt. It now has 104k on it. I plan on keeping it til the wheels fall off and figured I should be investing in some preventive care. I've been reading the posts and it looks like I'm lucky the timing belt is still working, but other than that, is there anything I should definitely have done? I hate my Mitsu dealership and cringe at having to take it there, but no anyone else that specializes in these vehicles.

Replying to: cdf22 (Oct 06, 2008 3:47 pm) I hate my Mitsu dealership and cringe at having to take it there, but no anyone else that specializes in these vehicles.   Perhaps taking it there will entice them into treating you nicely because they will see you as a prospective buyer with so many miles on your old Montero.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: cdf22 (Oct 06, 2008 3:47 pm) Probably should get that timing belt changed ASAP. Then maybe a coolant flush/fill. Check the maintenance schedule that accompanies the owner's manual. That most interesting interval is for the transmission fluid (when you follow the "normal" dirving conditions instead of the "severe").   Also, I think that tidester is correct. Give the Mitsu guys a visit and explain your frustration. If you don't like their response, then you can get your vehicle serviced at most auto repair places. I don't use the Mitsu dealership because the closest one is 17 miles in the opposite direction of my commute.

#163 of 232 weird indicator lights 2002 montero sport by mrsfor Oct 22, 2008 (11:30 am)
So the battery and BRAKE indicators in my 2002 Montero Sport have suddenly coming on, seemingly for no reason. The E-Brake is definitely not on - we never use it. And my husband replaced the battery this morning, but the lights still are on. Any suggestions? We are not close to a Mitsubishi dealership and have limited car repair budget, so any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
