Why does my 3000GT’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your 3000GT testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Mitsubishi 3000GT making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mitsubishi 3000GT engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Mitsubishi 3000GT engine?

Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Mitsubishi 3000GT radiator?
