1997 Mitsubishi Galant Repair Question
Asked on August 27, 2011
How to locate an air leak and what are common problems?
Car will turn on, but running very rough. Wont drive as soon as you put foot on accelerator, car stalls. Whistling noise coming from the rear of the engine. Have cleaned fuel filter and this improved things a little bit. Not sure where to start looking?
