Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage,
hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay
special attention to the hoses closest to high heat sources such
as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such
as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure and that
there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the
hoses immediately.Ignition cables
N00941100041
The ignition cables should be kept clean, properly connected,
and fully seated. Terminals should be fully seated and the nip-
ple assemblies should not be removed from the coil towers
unless the nipples are damaged or cable testing indicates high
resistance or broken insulation. Cracked or damaged cables
must be replaced.Intake valve clearance

by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

fuel tank filler cap)
N00941300186

connections. Check the fuel tank filler cap for damage or loose-
ness. Pay special attention to the fuel lines closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold.Evaporative emission control system (except
evaporative emission canister)
N00941400116

vapor mixture will escape, polluting the air.
Have the system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
