Questions About 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my Eclipse turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Eclipse testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mitsubishi Eclipse. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Mitsubishi engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I add water to my Mitsubishi Eclipse radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Eclipse radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause a Eclipse engine to suddenly stop? Reasons your Eclipse car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
