Engine problems are usually due to worn or old components. As time passes, filters can block, hoses can leak, and problems will develop. Regular engine services can identify these problems before they start. If your engine has a problem, it’s time to visit your Mitsubishi dealer for repair. These are some of the problems we can fix.
Blocked Radiator
The radiator’s job is to control your engine’s temperature by removing heat from the engine. The coolant flowing through your engine absorbs engine heat and transports this heat to the radiator. Once inside the radiator, the heat is removed from the coolant by heat exchange. As the coolant moves, it also absorbs dirt and other debris from your engine.
The debris collected by the coolant is deposited inside the radiator when the coolant flows out. This debris can build up and block the radiator and cooling tubes. If this happens, the coolant won’t enter the radiator for cooling, and your engine will rapidly overheat. We can fix this problem by removing your radiator and flushing it to remove the blockage. Once the radiator’s clean, we’ll reinstall it.
Damaged Starter Motor
When you push the start button, the battery sends an electrical charge to the starter motor to power it. The starter motor will then crank your engine, and the combustion process starts. Its job is critical, as your engine can’t start without it. We’ll need to repair or replace it for your engine to work.
A starter can suffer wear and tear like any other component, and it can become damaged. If you hear a series of clicks when you try and start your engine, the starter has failed. We’ll examine the motor to find the problem. The solenoid in the starter can fail, and its failure prevents the battery’s electrical charge from powering the motor. We can easily replace the solenoid to fix this problem.
Misfiring
Misfires occur when the contents of an engine cylinder don’t ignite successfully at the precise time. The fuel and air mixture necessary for combustion is mixed and drawn into the cylinders. Once inside the cylinders, the mixture is compressed and ignited at the high point of compression by the spark plugs. If the ignition isn’t successful, you’ll hear the sound of a misfire, and your car will lurch.
Worn spark plugs are one of the main causes of a misfire, but damaged electrical wiring, a failed ignition coil, or a fuel-rich engine can cause the problem. We’ll need to examine your engine to identify the cause of the trouble, and then we’ll repair it.
If your engine isn’t working as well as it should, call us today at Rath Mitsubishi.
