Could it be the Battery or worse?lincolnls2002blk 01-20-2008, 10:09 PM It is very cold in my town in the single to low double digit numbers. My car has not had an experience with a low battery since I have owned it. I drove it earlier the same day for about an 1hr and a half. Then when night came I turned it on warmed it up and when I finally start driving I get to the end of my neighborhood and the Steering Wheel Tightens up to the point I cannot turn it. I stop and shut the car off and as I turn it off the oil light comes on. After about 20 mins I enter in more engine oil. I let it sit and then try to turn it on to no avail. I tried to Jump start it. When I finally tried the car lost power with every attempt at cranking the engine on. Now the car sounds dead if it sounds at all when I try to turn it on. Could the starter have failed due the weather on such short notice? Battery? Low engine oil frozen? Then I noticed the coolant is also a bit low. Any suggestions would help before I take the car in if needed. Thanks. lincolnls2002blk 01-20-2008, 10:13 PM it is a v6 1998 cirrus sub006 01-25-2008, 02:27 AM How many miles on it? Sometimes the Mitsubishi distributor/coil unit malfunctions. $800 at the dealer, $250 rebuilt at the parts store. Or the main computer, about $400 exchange plus $100 for dealer-only programming. Anything beyond simple (like the battery), get the dealer diagnosis. lincolnls2002blk 01-25-2008, 12:44 PM 93000 miles on it. Thank you very much for your response I will look into those possibilities. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
