1994 Mitsubishi Diamante LS from North America - Comments

I have a 1993 Diamante ES, great riding car, but have noticed the car burning oil and emitting blue smoke. I would be interested in selling the car for parts OR if someone could tell me if the smoke is caused by:

Bad valve seals (easy to replace and inexpensive compared to a rebuild) possibly an intake manifold gasket or a bad PCV valve?

If it is common for the rings to go bad in these engines I would like to know that as well. Thank you.

Hello.

I have a sigma wagon (verada wagon imported from australia)

It has run 260000 km running on Liquid Propane Gas.

The only thing done is harden the valve seatings for it (the LPG).

No problems at all runs as new.

Maybe you in the US have not the real australian or japan parts, but the dodge parts who use the engine (US made) in a lot of cars.

So... Great car noone gets it...:)

Hello

bought a 94model verada and have not had half the problems as its overseas counterparts. the car has now done 235000km with only the timing belt and injectors changed. other modifications include a pod and 3inch dumping exhaust. i'e changed the oil every 5000kms and done all regular servicing personally.

Great car would definetly get another.

I just sold my 94 Diamonte recently. It was a piece of junk. It had major electrical problems that would always drain my battery, not to mention the rediculus smoke that would come out of the tail pipes. I got terrible gas mileage with it. I always changed my oil and taken care of it as the manual says. The car doesn't even compare to my Accord. I am so glad I sold that piece of garbage.

I own a 95 Diamante LS, it has almost 140,000 miles on it. Only problem I had was a hard shifting transmission, after a transmission flush the problem went away and it runs great. All the electronics work fine which is remarkable for a 12 year old car. It is holding its paint really well too. Just passed inspection last month with no problems at all. Gas mileage is not that spectacular in city type driving, but does well on the highway. The person who owned it before me (a friend of mine) had problems with it chewing up brakes and rotors...I believe this was due to his driving since I have had no problems in 6,000 miles.

I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Diamante and I just got it and 3 months later the water pump went out and the timing Seized, the head gasket was replaced and all the wires and it sill is running like crap... It shakes and makes a strange loud noise. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this and can help me, I have put over $900 into this thing and I don't make that much money, but is this going to be worth fixing? Email me at Sherbear_kurtz@yahoo.com I am going crazy and I have been without my car for 5 months.

I have a 94 diamante es with 172K. Runs great, but has few issues I can live by. Trans is still orig, but once in a while will skip when coming to a stop. The engine has oil leak due to worn gaskets. I've already gotten those fixed. There is one other area where oil leak need to be taken care of and problem will be gone. I would expect a car this age to have little issues. It drives and runs great as far as I can tell. Paint started peeling a couple of months ago so need to get it painted. Few other repairs that were done

1. front struts replaced (rear still orig)

2. control arms replaced

3. idle sensor.
