How do I diagnose why Lancer is sputtering , and engine service light is on.

Asked by KHofffrogge Aug 07, 2017 at 01:51 PM about the 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2003 Lancer is sputtering when backing up or taking off. Engine light is
on now. Over 200K on the mileage. Any ideas what could be the problem? I
really don't want to pay the High price from an Auto mechanic.

Thank you !
KH

You can take the car to AutoZone or Advanced Auto Parts and they can plug in an error code scanner and see why the Check Engine light is on. Most will do this for no charge.
