2004 Mitsubishi Galant - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check the ign module.

If it turns over its a fuel issue, pump,filter ect...my 07 turns over and will only start after 3-4 trys, no codes at all, so im thinking fuel filter is clogged but its located in the pump which is in the tank so I have to drop the whole tank and replace both

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes etc are basic contents of these online books they sell here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

Interesting problem, especially since its been happening since the car was new. Researching this I found one suggestion that a front wheel bearing is in backwards, and this causes the ABS wheel sensor to read incorrectly until the TCL/ABS computers calibrate themselves. This is an odd suggestion, as the wheel bearing and hub are an integral assembly. A part photo shows a "normal" looking bearing that only fits one way. A bearing installation problem is not impossible however. There could be dirt/road debris on the sensor, the sensor could be slightly misplaced, or faulty. The TCL/ABS computers read the signals from the wheel sensors, and has diagnostic outputs, which should include indications of poor or missing data streams from all four wheel sensors. This is the first step to finding a solution. If the TCL/ABS computers are reporting errors from one wheel, then that wheel has to be disassembled to see what's the cause.

If the sensor didn't fix the problem, then it's most likely a wiring harness issue. A bad sensor/harness will turn off the ABS & traction control and turn on both ABS and Traction lights. time to troubleshoot the wiring harness for continuity/short between the sensor and the computer.

Check the battery pols conection

next time take it to a accredited professional shop that will read the fault codes first before advising you on what has to be replaced and not just guessing the problem

Hello Edward Garcia, Indeed yes... you have a 2004 Manufacturer RECALL CAMPAIN... Notice SC-04-002 FIRST technical Service Bulletin I looked at... ETACS-ECU Excessive battery drain... Gives the location and required >> dealer RE-programming of keys & fobs... Principally presents on cars left sitting for 7 to 10 days ((they were talking "NEW" cars... I imagine those dynamics change SIGNIFICANTLY with old batteries))... Attributed to POOR PROGRAMMING... REMEDY: replacement Location.. lower dash... between steering wheel & door Use the FREE TSB database ... provided by BBB Industries... (registration is required: these are REAL DOCUMENTS) http://bbbid.com/ Hope this helped Carnac the Magnificent

Check the brushes on the blower motor that circulates the air in the car.

What was the code number? Could a circuit code. Could be no sensor return code. Problems would be sensor, wiring, PCM, or broken cam/crank belt.

Have you checked the fuel pressure, are you sure the pump is the issue? Have you run a fault code test on the engine control unit for fault codes? If not do that.

compression test cyclinder may have cracked head or warped head .I think that car has an Astron motor from my memory which has an alloy head that can warp or crack if the engine has been overheated ?

the causes for the small leak are listed as hose connections --intake leak--- EVAP canister--- EVAP canister purge valve check hoses for small cracks ( old hoses) or replace the purge valve

It is integrated in your entire electrical system of your vehicle. the only way to bypass is to get an aftermarket alarm with a bypass module which will require an additional ignition key (which is inserted into the bypass module).

Try putting another CD in the slot. Sometimes it will help push the stuck one out. Why does the EJECT button not work for you?

check for a earth ( ground ) wire problem

probably not as the coolant level sensor may be immobilising the system have a compression test done to determine the extent of damage done to the engine

your o2 sensor bank 1 is bad . you may want to replace it. It will probably solve your problem but make sure your maintainance is up to date fuel filters air filter plugs and wires. If this was helpful please leave good feed back

OK, you want to know if the 2004 Galant is an interference engine, because of a broken timing belt. Your car has the 2.4L engine, and its not quite an interference engine, but its very close. A broken belt MIGHT not have damaged valves when the belt failed. Your garage should be able to look at the valve gear and see if any valves are jammed. It's also possible to look in each cylinder with an endoscope camera for any valve damage. A new belt can be fitted, and the engine turned over to test compression. If there are problems spotted, then the head has to come off and the the damaged valves replaced.
