Thank you so much! We had tried a new fuel pump and fuel relay sensor but they didn't help. I googled my Galant's problem and found your video. You were a God send because I was running out of money & hope. I started to think I would just have to park my car and give up. I can't thank you enough for your knowledge and willingness to help us "do it yourself" galant owners. May your kindness be returned 100 fold!
I'm sure glad I could help friend. The Galant is a stoic vehicle, it runs forever with incredibly minimal maintenance. just watch out for counterfeit eBay camshaft position sensors. As my earlier comments on this video point out. I was the victim of parts fraud on eBay. Good news is eBay got my money back and the new sensor was only 40 bucks. Galant on!
exactly my same problem... got a new fuel pump... was looking at the relay, but got a diagnostic test and the guy immediate knew it was the camshaft sensor. Picked one up today, going to install tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
the Galant is one of the most reliable cars ever made. especially and particularly this generation. another way to verify that it is the camshaft sensor is too unbolt your spark plug coils and point them upside down in the air. then begin turning the motor over. if only 2 spark plugs are sparking then you have confirmation that the computer is not calculating timing properly and that the camshaft sensor has failed. also a big bonus about this car is that fixing it is particularly easy. the timing belt service is probably the most difficult surgical procedure on this car. Glad I could help, Galant on!
Hey, I brought a Mitsubishi Galant 02. One day it wouldn’t start. I changed the battery, && starter. It will crank to only 1000-1500 rpg and shut right off. If I press the gas pedal it will hold and cut right off. What could this possibly be ?
I have added the explanation to the video but RUclips does NOT allow Annotations to be visible in RUclips APP! So if you're watching this on the RUclips APP you need to read the publishing info below the video for the full description.
Jaime Gallarzo no the crankshaft position sensor rarely goes bad but it does go bad and when it does it's a difficult job to do. You have to do a timing belt service essentially to do it. the most common causes of a start/stop situation would be the IAC sensor or the camshaft sensor. In your case since you have a code for the IAC sensor I would get that sensor. you can get them very cheap from junkyards. you'll probably end up buying the entire throttle body assembly but it will only cost you like 30 bucks. A new sensor online will be more expensive but then again you'll have the extra security of a new part.
Jaime Gallarzo did you take both coil packs out and verify that none of them are sparking at all? The Next Step might be to replace the camshaft position sensor. if your camshaft position sensor is bad you should still be getting spark from one of the coil packs. you have the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder motor correct? Can you give me more backstory so I can fully understand
Jaime Gallarzo unfortunately I'm not directly familiar with that motor. but you're saying you turn the car off then try to restart it and it won't start?
I have a mitsubishi galant gdi and facing an issue that it start up great but when the engine gets hot it would cut off, u don't know why and also i an not sure if this situation has a part to play with me when driving it would cut off and move very slowly any help please
I have the same problem I parked my car in the drive way one night and next morning it will turn on for about 4 seconds then died and if it gave it gas it will shut off right away, I replaced the fuel pump and still does the same I replace the MAP sensor and still same I get a code of P0105 and I still havent found the issue , could it be the camshaft sensor?
@@slownlow210 sounds like a manifold leak. Your intake manifold might be cracked. It's common, they crack where the four tubes square up to the throttle body. There's a transition weld between the tubes and the square body of the manifold. That or a hose may have a hole in it.
Prime_Auto sold me a counterfeit camshaft sensor. *Problem Solved* The Cam Shaft Position sensor I bought from Ebay seller "Prime_Auto" was counterfeit!!! That seller also refused to communicate with me, I had to have ebay force my refund and for the first time ever I gave a negative feedback! I bought a new Cam Shaft sensor from ebay seller "dodge_chrysler_jeep_ram_parts" for 40 bucks. If the part you buy does not have a Mitsubishi symbol on it and does not have a part number it is counterfeit! The counterfeit sensor had an extremely weak magnet in it, the OEM that came off the car could hold some paper onto the fridge! The replacement I bought had a slightly weaker magnet in it than the original but had the part number and symbol on the part and works great. Thanks for watchin' and keep galanting! * * *Tech Tip* * * See info!!!
Same with my 04 Infiniti G35 the Camshaft sensors caused long crank and immediate Stalling even faster stalling when pressing the Pedal, cleaned MAF & throttle body, did ecm relearn idle relearns and still the car was starting then after 5 seconds it'll still stall, Bought eBay Cps and they worked for less than 24 hours got code p0340, Went to Infiniti dealer got Bank 1 CPS it took off Check engine light and VDC and Slip light but Bank 2 CPS which is the angled Camshaft Sensor was still in engine from eBay so I took it out and put the one that was in before the one on eBay was put in, it didn't look burnt out at all so I put it in and I was Good🚀🚀🚀Camshaft And Crankshaft sensors are very important if One or both malfunction it causes misfires get them replaced ASAP same exact rules go for Variable Valve Timing Solenoid's
ArcolaBridge Yea man ever since you said something about part numbers, I looked at all the CPS's that I ordered from eBay and none of them had a Part # and none of them had the same O-ring as a High quality one or one from the dealer
BangGangMelly Gang I got one off of eBay that was real after I got the fake one off of eBay. I had to search really hard to find a genuine part number and a photograph of a part that had the Mitsubishi emblem and the part number printed in the plastic of the part.
* * *Tech Tip* * * If only one coil pack is sparking that means that either the Cam Shaft Position Sensor has failed or the Crank Shaft Position Sensor has failed. If swapping coil packs around does not change which side gets spark you have your answer!
a question maybe someone can help I have a 2004 lancer se I need to replaced the crankshaft position sensor is there any video to show you how's done ?
@@ArcolaBridge I have crankshaft position sensor code, so I bought a new one but havent tried to install yet. I see you say its a major task, how so? In hopes of making me more anxious about it haha I Can see the electrical connection on the left of the engine, but cant see where the ground runs to. Can you explain what makes this more complicated?
I'm having similar issues with my 2002 Galant, although it stalls right after being started. However, when set up with diagnostics at a mechanic, they don't find any problem. Could it still be the cam shaft or something else?
Turn the coil packs right side up with the spark plugs in them in the air and turn the car over and see if 1 or both coil packs is making spark at the spark plug. If only 1 is sparking then you know you have a an issue with either the cam sensor $40 or the crank sensor. This is the first step you should take at this point. Could also be IAC, FPR,
iheartpooky hi, i have the same problem like u, on my 2003 galant, i have check and clean all the possible causes...i had replaced camshaft sensor,spark plugs...but unfornately it is still the same problem... so what happened with your issue can you please tell me how did u fix your car? thank you.
johnny calimlim The camshaft position sensor I bought was counterfeit, I bought a new one online from "chrysler_dodge_Jeep" on ebay and it solved the problem. Beware of counterfeit ebay parts.
The crankshaft or the camshaft sensor has been replaced? Can you turn the key to engage the starter and the car won't even turn over with the starter running? Where does it turn over but it won't start?
@@rosalindhampton24 yes but you must be specific when I asked the question. Does the starter motor rotate the motor as if to start the motor when you turn the key to start the car. Or does the starter not engage at all and the motor does not turn it all?
@@rosalindhampton24 okay when you turn the key to start the car the car rotates and does not start. Does the car cough or fire at any point like it is trying to start or close to starting? Or does it only turn over but no coughing and no spark and no sign of it starting?
Hey I was driving my car home it did the same thing u said in the beginning of your video I starred it drove it home and it never stared agian I bought a fuel pump but that did not work it's stats for a few then just shuts of same car as yours need a little help if u don't mind
your camshaft position sensor has failed. It is a simple fix, it takes about 5 minutes and you can find the sensor online on eBay for 40 bucks. There was one Extreme Caution in this job. And that is that 99% of the sensors you find online are counterfeit and fake and will never fix your problem. You must purchase a camshaft position sensor that has a Mitsubishi logo on it. I have a video that describes this in my videos come up search my videos and you will see what I'm talking about and where to buy it.
my car was running fine i cut it off to unlock mailbox tried to crank it back up it ran a second ant cut off tries to turn over but wont start all the way
+Daves Perez you will have multiple misfire because your crankshaft sensor is misreporting signal. the cam sensor and the crank sensor bolt send a signal in time with each other come on you can visualize this on and analyzing screen. You watch for the blocks and eventually you'll find a script or an unmatched pattern. They must run in sync with each other or they will be out of time and you'll get a misfire. The way you can check this to determine which sensor it is if you can take your coil packs out point them straight up in the air with your spark plugs on them and see if all of your spark plugs are firing or only two. Your spark plugs fire in sets of two, you have two coils on plug, so do spark plugs fire for each coil. If your driver side coil is firing and not your passenger side, that typically indicates your cam sensor is at fault.
+Daves Perez if I were you I would replace the cam sensor first just to see if that fixes it. It's a lot cheaper, I got and OEM sensor on eBay for $45. However, before that I tried to go cheap and I got a sensor that cause extreme misfire. the problem is aftermarket sensors have a very weak magnet inside them. The OEM sensor is the correct sensor and will fix your misfire problem because it has a strong magnet inside. If you decide to get a replacement, check the strength of the magnet of your existing sensor against the replacement, they should both have the same magnetic strength. If it is any weaker it will be a knock off, and will cause a misfire.
+ArcolaBridge ok ill try that. someone tried to tell me ny alternator but i know the warning signs for that. this is the first day this happen. then another said fuel pump or filter
what you describe sounds like a camshaft position sensor or an IAC sensor. The IAC sensor commonly goes bad. my Gallant has over 200,000 miles on the original fuel pump so I don't personally suspect that would go bad.
try putting the car into neutral and then starting it sometimes the park lockout will not let it startI'm not saying don't change the sensor I'm just saying try neutral first God willing it will start
Stacey Atkinson was it? This was confirmed from a technician? The fuel pump must have been showing low or no pressure? A word of warning is that this car does not have a fuel filter. So if you let your tank and get low a lot it is possible to suck up debris into the fuel pump or the injectors from the bottom of the fuel tank. it's best not to allow the fuel tank to go below half way. and try to fill up at a quality station that you trust. also fill up with premium not regular, it's worth the extra pennies.
