Vehicle care and maintenance
Fuel hoses
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage,
hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay
special attention to the hoses closest to high heat sources such
as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such
as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure and that
there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the
hoses immediately.
Ignition cables
The ignition cables should be kept clean, properly connected,
and fully seated. Terminals should be fully seated and the nip-
ple assemblies should not be removed from the coil towers
unless the nipples are damaged or cable testing indicates high
resistance or broken insulation. Cracked or damaged cables
must be replaced.
Intake valve clearance
Have the valve clearance checked at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the "WARRANTY
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL".
If the engine sounds abnormally loud, have adjustments made
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
