1988 Mitsubishi Starion Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Starion? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Starion testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Mitsubishi Starion engine noises bad? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Mitsubishi Starion engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage a Mitsubishi engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Mitsubishi Starion engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still 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 Starion radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Starion radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What could cause my Starion engine to suddenly stop? Your Starion car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
