2003 Galant with engine code P0128 going on and then back off after a while
I have driven a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant 4 cylinder for 13 years (starting in December 2002, when I bought it new).
For about 6 months now, I have had my check engine light come on, and then about a week later it will go off. Then in another week or so, back on, and repeat. When I have had the code read, it was P0128, which from what I have read means: Quote:
One thing I seem to notice, is that as the gas tank gets closer to empty, that is when the engine light seems to come back on. Then a little after I fill it up again, the engine light seems to go off. I cannot say for sure if this is a correlation, or even if that is always the case, but it sure seems to happen an awful lot in that manner. Does that just mean a faulty sensor or thermostat, or could it be something else? Does this information help narrow down the possible causes at all? Any tips on the best away to proceed? I do not mind doing the labor myself, as long as it does not require anything too drastic. Thanks |

is your car temp gauge in the dash reading about in the middle of the gauge? if its reading low most likely your thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced
