Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Galant?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Galant firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why does my Mitsubishi engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mitsubishi Galant. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Galant engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I use water in my Mitsubishi Galant radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Galant when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my Galant engine to suddenly stop?

Your Galant car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
