Mitsubishi Galant 91 - Sensor?

Joined: Sep 07, 2005 Posts: 1

I have a Mitsubishi Galant 91 that has a problem starting when the engine is cold. I start the car and the engine dies if I don't keep putting pressure on the gas. After the car is warmed up it run's fine. Another method is to keep pumping the gas and a big pump on the accelerator when I put the car in reverse to pull out of my driveway. The engine will not shut off this way but shakes until it is warm. I have gotten a diagnostic on the car but they said my car is too old for their machines. A few places have said it is a sensor but don't know which one it is. This is also the reason my Check Engine light is on. I have a friend who can fix the problem but does not know which sensor to replace or fix. Can anybody help?[/b]

Take the car to someone else to read the codes. You've been dealing with
morons.
All it takes is an analog volt meter to do this and a factory manual to
deciper things. The meter's needle will swing and output a morse like code
of long/ short /long pulses. really easy, even for a simpleton.
