Car won't start

What exactly is it doing: Cranking and will not start or just won't crank over at all-not even a click or so-

Also cant give a estimate not knowing what the problem is.

2000 Mitsubishi Galant 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 160000 miles

Car won't start. Replaced battery but has same problem. I took to AutoZone and battery, alternator and starter motor all test good. I have plenty of juice to operate power windows so battery is not dead. It started with jumper cables once but will not do that now. Any ideas.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter relay,park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

I have a galant that won't start. I car was running and then just started making a sound like the starter was sticking so i cut it back off when i got in the car i smelled something like wires burning i then found it was the starter switch had burned out. I replaced it and the car still wont start.The battery volt is 12.4 the end are clean. And the starter is new. Everything else works fine on the car and no fuses are blown. Whats the problem?

So you have a no crank no start?Also do you have a multi meter to do some testing?

Yes i have a multi meter

Iam sorry i forgot to ask what size engine do you have?

4 cyl.

Also is it a automatic transmission or manual one?You will see a black wire with a yellow stripe it should have power with the key in start position?

Also does it have factory anti theft?

Automatic and it do have the anti theft system but the CD player was replaced with a aftermarket unit.

No factory anti theft on the car starting?

2000 Mitsubishi Galant will not start. New plug, new wires, new coil, new ecu, and getting fuel to #1 cylinder.

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Im not sure about the anti theft on the starting.

We will play that one by ear let me know about the wire i asked you about.

The black and yellow wire isn't powered in the On position.

No i asked if it had power in the start position?

Yes it has power in the start position.

Alright at the neutral safety switch you should have power to the black wire with a yellow stripe and the black wire with a red stripe with the key in the start position?

Where is the neutral safety switch located and if it do?

Its on the transmission where the shift cable attaches to it the black wire with a red stripe goes straight to the starter.Let me know what you find.

Ok but i know no fire is getting to the starter.

Alright we need to see if power is getting to the neutral safety switch and then passing thru it.

The neutral safety switch is getting about 10 volts to the black and red wire.

I was wrong the neutral safety switch is not getting power but if you unplug the wire at the starter is reads its getting 10 volts but when you connect it back it says 0 volts.

2000 Mitsubishi Galant that keeps blowing fuses for the dome lights and power mirrors. I went to the gas station to get gas and filled up and then the car would not start. I has it jump started and it was fine, I didn't have a problem with it since. the fuses blow out have been an issue since getting the car and it acts up over the last year. Any idea what could be wrong

How often does the fuse blow?Does it blow while using the power mirror?Or while opening the door and the dome light comes on?The more details about the fuse blowing the better.

Sounds like you have a bad wire may have damaged when everything was burned up.

wont start and has this code manufacturer control auxiliary inputs auxiliary outputs

Hi armcrae001,

Thank you for the donation.

What is the code ? A descrition is of no help. We need to know the EXACT code.

p1610

P1610 = Immobilizer system malfunction.

If you have a spare key, use it to try starting and see if it works.

To retrive the actual trouble code for the immobilizer, MUT-II, scanner specifically for Mitshubishi is required.

Hi,

My 2000 Mitsubishi Galant ran fine for the amount of miles it had, however coming home from work it just didn't engaage in gear and went in sort of of a nuetral roll. I was able to pull over onto a side street from the neutral roll. The car starts and engine runs. When the car is put into gear (drive, reverse etc.) it basically does nothing or goes anywhere. I checked the ATF fluid and while there is some fluid on the dipstick it doesn't seem like much. When revving the engine in gear I am hearing like a whilstling sound. I was going to add 2-3 quarts of ATF fluid in hopes of it just not having enough fluids. Any advice? Thanks.

216k miles.

sounds like an internal failure.

Roy

Thanks Roy. Would that be a blown transmission? Hoping that it is not.

yes it most likely will have to come out and be inspected for the failure

Roy

One last question. I had intended to add three quarts of transmission fluid in hopes that it would have been low on fluid and run thereafter. Could that be an alternative? Or just take it to an auto repair shop?
