I bought a 2002 Mitsubishi lancer es with 210,000 miles
I would like to know what I should be looking into, I plan on getting all of the
fluids drained and set to factory specs, I'm no true mechanic. Just a guy
behind a PC that's really good with tools. I bought the car for only 300
dollars, So putting out money is no biggie, But I prefer to temporarily keep
things low by doing everything myself! The car has a somewhat fresh
inspection. Any help would be highly appreciated ;D Very humble to any help
Getting ready to retire from driving mopeds
Change the fluids (oil, transmission, coolant, belts, hoses and filters) and tune it up and you should get your $300 worth of transportation.
Thank You F_O_R!! Also there is this, This seems to be the only thing that scares me, I think it might need something like a valve cover gasket? or?
If the valve cover gasket leaks go ahead and replace it. The cost is minimal. Don't over tighten the bolts!
Thanks!! I was informed to use throttle body cleaner. I will look into as of why 'maybe something could be replaced and perm fix'. That I know of this covers everything thank you once again ;)
I would only clean the throttle body if there is a problem. Just use a good fuel system cleaner in the gas such as Techron.
