cant get my 02 lancer to start does anyone know what could be wrong?

it has to be a slow battery drain from some sorce in the car or the alternator is bad, take the battery out of the car and place it on a charger, then once it has a full charge replace the battery and get the alternator checked. if its not the alternator you know something is draining the battery. I suspect its the alternator

sounds like your alt has stoped charging the battery.bad alt.when you put the new battery in,it had enought charge on it to run your car for a couple of days,so that means the alt is not recharging the battery.also a faulty starter will do the same thing,i would change the alt and go from their.

so i have checked everything out and all three are good! alt starter and battery is new! i got it to start by poping the clutch but once i slowed down to a stop it want to die but i kept reving it up to keep going and make it home! i put a different battery from my wifes car and it starts but does the same thing! i have no clue what else to try! we tested power to alt and starter and all good! tested both alt and starter and they are stil in good shape!

ok replace fuel filter,,it may be cloged up,run a can or bottleof fuel injector cleaner in tank of gas,sea fome is the best.

first start with the basics, you replaced the battery, ensure the connections are good, check both ends of the positive cable then the negative cable, the negative is usually grounded to the block, after that check the connection on the back of the altenator, usually problems like this stem from a bad connection most often on the negative side. When it comes to the idling problem it could be related to the fuel system, if it has been more than 30k miles you are due for a new fuel filter , so you could replace that regardless of what ever else is wrong, id check fuses first, do you have any lights on in the cluster.

Ok I had the same problem and I dumped a load of money into my lancer but then I looked further into my car and found out I blew my engine cause my intake sucked up water so before dumping money into it check all the wau around your block to make sure there isnt a whole or crack somewhere

I've been having the same problem with my '03 OZ Rally. They (Mitsubishi) have checked everything. They pulled my alarm out, my stereo and still have the same problem. I'm not sure what to do with mine! It is pulling the same amount of ampage as if the car is running, yet the car is off and the keys are out! Help me!!!

My 2002 Mitsubishi lancer oz ot started running like I fouled out my plugs then out of no where i turned the key no power i disconnected the neg cable and reset everything it turns over but seems to be no fuel it has a nee fuel pump

I have a basic 02 lancer ES and its sounds like what's is happening to mine, I go to turn it over and it clicks one sounds like it is making a wine noise.. Well kind of a faint noise all the lights stay on, not sure if its luck or a coincidence but I've been tuning my steering wheel left and right and maybe 2 to 3 times out of 10 I can usually get it to start after about 4 or 5 cranks..idk...but my battery is new and like an idiot I just bought a starter thinking it was the cause....wellllll after blowing $100 that was not the cause, I happen to mention it to my dad he said it sounds like the ignition switch and I price check it at $75..but as of today well as of about 10 minutes ago after I put my new starter in for no goddamn reason is still doesn't start..hints why I'm looking up starting problems...are problems do sound similar except for my lights don't turn off when I go to start it..that's about it..idk if anyone thinks my problems sound different shoot n a reply as to what you think it might be please

there's a chance that the battery terminals are not making a good connection check your terminals and make sure they are tight don't overdo it now just make sure they are secure and make sure that all of the wiring for the positive side it's connected I've made that mistake once because there is two connecting ends or maybe three to my car I don't know about yours I have a few extra electronics in mine but I have had that same problem
