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

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Mitsubishi engine sound different?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mitsubishi Mirage engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Mirage engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Mitsubishi Mirage radiator?
