Top 20 2002 Mitsubishi Montero - Page 4 Questions & Answers

I guess if you googled the car's make. model, and year with "speaker size" you could get some links.
also if you search for car speakers on the eBay.com or crutchfield.com websites both will ask you what kind of car you have and then tell you what size speakers go in the holes provided by the manufacturer. both of these methods will require however that you do something yourself, instead of asking someone else to do it for you. if you can't do that, there are many shops in every large urban area where guys put stereos in, and they know all that stuff.

heres the diagram for the 2002 montero. hope this helps.

firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6.
looking at engine. left hand bank should be 1-3-5,right-2-4-6.
I hope this helps,If you require more info,let me know.

More than likely your alternator is bad and not keeping the battery charged up, plus you may have an electrical draw somewhere in the vehicle draining the battery also. I would check out the alternator first. Good luck.

A code P0155 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* O2 Heater element resistance is high
* Internal short or open in the heater element
* O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
* open or short to ground in the wiring harness

Possible Solutions:
* Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors
* Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)


Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:
Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 1 sensor 2
Bank 2 sensor 2

Some manufacturers use a kind of shorthand that reads different, but means the same thing:
Sensor 1/1 or O2s 1/1
Sensor 2/1 or O2s 2/1
Sensor 1/2 or O2s 1/2
Sensor 2/2 or O2s 2/2

Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of coarse, Bank 2 is the opposite side.
On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.

Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (The one located BEFORE the catalytic converter)
Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.

Hope helps (remember to rate this).

if the smoke was white then you have a problem with oil chambers... it could make your vehicule smoke all the time and can damage running parts in the inside of engine...

maybe a relay bad or switch is bad

have you checked the distributer cap and the lead to number 5? as far as your suspension goes it seems just from a quick look at the diagram it looks like you will need a set of coil spring compressors to remove the insert of the front strut but you may be able to buy a complete unit.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5929960-s_thermostat . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

i would disconnect the hoses from the core and blow through it with compressed air ,it may be clogged

I believe that the panel you speak of leads to the top of the fuel tank, which will have another panel held on to the tank with a bunch of screws. Remove and pull out the pump assembly. Before replacing the pump, check for power to the pump with a test light while someone is cranking the engine. Fuel pump relay problems are not uncommon on these so you may want to replace that as well or first because the pumps are quite expensive. When you are checking for power at the pump, make sure the opening to the tank is covered well with rags. You don't want any sparks near gas vapor

more then likely could be an off balanced tire or a tierod end do a complete inspection of all your joints and look for bad spots in tires... even new tires can have bad knots in the bands

Recommended spark plug replacement is at 60,000 miles. It is also recommended that the plug wires be replace at the same time. The only tools you will need will be a rachet, an extension, and the proper size spark plug socket. When replacing the spark plugs, remove one at a time, never remove all wires at the same time. When putting new plugs in, be sure to keep them straight when tightening. Tighten just until snug.

This can be many things. You need to have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scan tool. You can get this done for free at most auto parts stores. The code will tell you what part is being effected and where to start looking for the problem.

since the airbag is located inside the steering wheel. i do not recommend that you attempt to remove the steering wheel.besides the danger of having the airbag deploy, the cost to have it reset is really expensive.

If it's a V6 here is a picture;

The blower motor & the evaporator core is typically located in or attached to the heater core assembly. The heater core assembly should be located behind the passenger side glove box. Removing the heater core to access the evaporator box and core usually requires draining engine coolant either part way or completely and removing at least part of the dashboard. It's a relatively labor-intensive job, especially if you do not have much automotive repair experience. If you do feel comfortable doing this job yourself, have a mechanic do it for you.

That means that the four wheel drive unit is trying to engage but is'nt doing it. There's a switch on the front axel that indicates weather it is on or not and if the wire were disconnected or broken it'd do this too. moving the vehical very slowly backwards on level grounf in neutral and pushing the engege and disingade buttons you might get it to shift back into two wheel drive.

Replace and/or check the the coil packs for continuity associated with the cylinders that are not firing.

Also, check for fuel delivery using a fuel pressure gauge on the rail, and verify that the fuel injectors are firing using a noid tester or a stethoscope on the fuel injector to check that they are clicking.

Try to add starter fluid to the intake manifold through the throttle body to see if it starts that way, signalling a fuel delivery problem if it starts right up.

Good luck on this repair.
