Title: my car is acting weird


mitsu3ksl - July 18, 2008 12:56 AM (GMT)
so i just got the 3k going about a month ago and the car is acting really weird and im lost on what to do.

first thing i noticed is some moister on the driver fender where the hood meets the fender and when u pop the hood its all wet and moister there but u cant find anywhere its leaking from.

second thing is i left my work and drove 5 miles down the hwy to the gas station and was driving the speed limit and wasn't driving fast or anything but i had parked the car and came back out like 5 mins later and backed my car up to get gas. Well i had noticed something leaking well i poped my hood and saw coolant all over my tranny but couldn't find where it was leaking from. so i took my car to the shop and they were all dumbfounded they had no clue what it was.

third thing i saw was today we were at the shop getting a wheel hub pressed in for Tyler's gay Honda. when i had got in my car and started it up and backed up i noticed my anti lock light on well it has never done any of this stuff b4 and its really pissing me off so if u can help me i would appreciate it thanks.

Your coolant pressure cap may be leaking under high pressure. Get a new one, they are only like $10.

Sometimes the ABS light will come on when your battery voltage is low. Get a battery test done to see how it's doing.

mitsu3ksl - July 19, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
well i know im gonna have to get a battery. i checked the stuff u said and the results are its my water pump my started over heating and leaking coolant so now i have to replace it. The moister was from the water pump and the coolant on my tanny is from coolant leaking from my therma stat. so im not a happy camper :angry: im sorry but what does possessed mean :huh:


i also noticed that when i stop at a light or something my oil light will come on like it will flicker but my oil guage is fine. so any ideas?

possessed- (adj)..spurred or moved by a strong feeling, madness, or a supernatural power (often followed by: by, of, or with): The army fought as if possessed. The village believed her to be possessed of the devil.

this is gonna sound like im being a smart ass but im really not, but did you check your oil? that may be why the oil light flickers. lol.

Possesed means it has a mind of it's own.

Personally I think your car just has a case of "Mitsuitis". It's not all that rare. 100% of Mitsubishi car owners suffer from this. The sad part is, no boner pill can fix it.

Oh and on the oil light, the only light I am aware of on our cars is for pressure. When you come to a stop and let it idle, it is probably losing pressure, enough so to cause the light to trip. That probably means the oil pump is going out. Hell, if you've already got to replace the water pump, you might as well do the oil pump too.

mitsu3ksl - July 19, 2008 08:12 AM (GMT)
shit that sucks yeah i check the oil in it when that light does come on but it only does it every once in a while and i figured that was the problem and im so tired of this car i just want my gst c i never had any problems until tyler rode in my car for the first time and thats when it started over heating that day and the oil light comes on fucking gay honda ppl

Brents_clipz - July 19, 2008 02:32 PM (GMT)
