Mitsubishi Repair: Check engine light on only at normal temp, engine temp, gas tank
QuestionI have 4g93 sohc. Each morning, start up the engine as usual, no check engine light on until the engine temp has risen to normal level. The engine performance n everything else is fine. Sometimes while the car is moving, the light would go off and the light came back on whenever I stop the car and it will not go off.I would say is the sensors went faulty? Please advise.
AnswerTeh,
This is most likely a sensor tied to the emissions system. Sometimes it's as simple as a bad gasket on the gas tank cap. But there are a number of sensors that measure the emissions output and will trigger check engine light. The best thing to do is have a mechanic pull the codes from the car's computer when the check engine light is on. This will help find where locate where the problem could be.
Good luck!
