Mitsubishi Galant

[robertc1024]

OK OK - I know this isn't Ranger related but I'm going to be towing my son's gym coach with mine if I don't get a solution. He's got a 2002 Mitsu Galant and was driving it up normal street slopes and it died. He said that the steeper the slope, the more it cut out. It's in a flat parking lot now and still wont start - any ideas? I suggested the rollover-cut out switch but I know nada about these cars.

Water in the fuel tank maybe.

Thanks - maybe, it's been raining a lot here lately - he did say that the tank had plenty of gas though. I know - water density >> gas density.

Getting a check engine light? Got gas in it? Is it turning over ok? Try gas on a rag.. hold it over the intake tube, see if it idles. If so.. either the fuel pump needs to be reset (usually the push of a button), the fuel pump relay is bad, or it's out of gas.

Good luck

No Prob Twisty - I just got hit up with the prob an hour ago. My son is in the gym 30+ hours a week and he's 13. We're just hoping for a scholarship and anything we can do for our coaches is GREAT karma.

10-4 on that.. Those Mushy-Bushys are a pain from time to time.. but usually good cars
