Questions About 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Engines

  • Why does my Lancer’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your Lancer firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mitsubishi Lancer. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. 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 Lancer engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' 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 put water in my Mitsubishi Lancer radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What could cause my Lancer engine to suddenly stop? Your Lancer car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
