Might check the coil pac.

under the hood....look in owners manual for exact location

If that is an Engine temp light you may need to replace the Thermostat or the Water Pump. When you checked the heads after the Head Gaskets blew did you magna Flux the Cylinders? That will show you any cracks in the block. Assuming the block wasn't damaged when the head gasket blew and that the light you are seeing is actually for the Exhaust temp this is an indication that the Catalytic Converter is faulty and needs replaced. When you get that light get off to the side and take a look at the converter and see if it is bright Red or turning red. If it is then you need to replace it. Do a compression check on the motor when it is cold and then do one when it is warm and see if there is a major difference in your compressions as this would indicate a cracked block or Head. Moisture in a cylinder indicates a cracked cylinder and will cause this condition you have described as well.

check carb

it could be a number of things.It could be low on fluid,the filter could be clogged,the pump could be wore out,,ussually the sift sensors are located inside the transmission.either access through the bootom pan or the pan on the side of the transmission.

It is most likely a bad thermostat but also could be a clogged up radiator or something more major.

If all your brake lights are out, it could be your brake light switch. The switch should be located above the brake pedal arm. Might be as simple as a lose or dirty connection. The switch should have a adjustment too.

Hi, you need to ground pin 1 of diagnostic pin, turn the engine to on and watch check engine light. It will flash a code (long long short short short = 23). The code will tell where the problem may be.

no, once the chain is set there is no way to change it, unless you take it off and install a new one.The timing chain has tensioners that keep the tension by itself.I hope I could help rate me accordingly, Thanks!!

my thoughts are ignitor (coil) going out or grounding out, V-6 may have multiple ignitors and if one goes the rest can't compensate. Dealt with this on a Diamante my mother owned some time ago...

Check the tach unit head sometimes they just stop working over time and need replacement, be sure the connections are secure and tight on the tach head and on the coil as well.

get the codes out of the module that is at fault someone will have a scan tool good luck

Assuming a 3.0 V6; the crank sensor is actually located in the distributor. The 3.0 V6 makes use of small LED lights and a spinning disc located in the distributor. This disc has small holes in it when the holes pass by the proper point the light passes thru telling the ECU to spark and injector pulse. If you have no spark I'd check the ECU too; early 90's Mitsubishi ECU hasd poor capacitor in them, they tend to leak with time. If you do have to replace the ECU be certain to use the same MD number found on it.
If I may be of further service please let me know.

Thanks,
Tom

Your coolant all leaked out, or your thermostat locked shut, and the engine seriously overheated. Some makes will not start again until the thermostat has been replaced (the Japanese have always been too cute for their own good, and program such things into the vehicle computer) and the computer reset, and sometimes this simply kills the engine altogether. Proper maintenance is a must!

I only show a 3.0 V6 here it is

Try soaking the bolt(s) in penetrating fluid for a few hours and reapply if necessary..... http://cgi.ebay.com/Summit-SP1504-Penetrating-Oil-Spray-15-oz-Aerosol-Can_W0QQitemZ390176989400QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_100?hash=item5ad85c60d8

If this doesn't do the trick you'll need to heat the nuts and that's best done in the correct enviroment, e.g: a workhsop.

while it's possible the gear came off the end of the distributor, the most likely cause of this issue is a broken timing belt, which doesn't always cause engine damage. if you can, unbolt the distributor from the engine and just check to see that the keyway is still attached to it and spins it. if so, take it into the shop because you've got something internal going on, whether it's the timing belt, or a broken camshaft.

were you on hard ground when you tried turning on 99 % of your 4x4 your wheels have to be in very loose dirt ,sand. snow. mud when turning sharp if you were on a hard surface the sound was your front axle trying leave your 4x4 but if you were not look at your transmission mount and motor mounts i actually sheered off my tranny mount trying to crawl sharply over large rock i was in dakota my truck engine attached to front axle axle turns motor shifted trans mount broke
