1993 Mitsubishi Diamante ES review from North America
"A bargain for a luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle problem for 3 month. Car dies when started but get to normal after running for about 10 seconds. Dealer checkup suggests a bad idle motor and replacement for $500. If this does not work, replace the computer for $1200. I took off the idle motor and cleaned it up with carburator cleaner and put back on. The idle problem is gone and everything is normal.
So far no major problems except tire, oil, and fuel filter changes.
General comments?
Dependable car with comfort.
