1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Mighty Max? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Mighty Max firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Mitsubishi engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Mitsubishi Mighty Max engine?

These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant.
