Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Mirage’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Mitsubishi, you can rest assured you’re investing in your Mirage’s long-term engine performance.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1996 Mitsubishi Mirages

  • When should Mitsubishi Mirage spark plugs be replaced? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Mitsubishi Mirage? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Mitsubishi Mirage. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Mitsubishi Mirage engine than others? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.
