:confused: I got a 1995 gst and when i turn on the car the.........check engine light pops-up, along with the air bag light and the break light.....and also the oil can figure appears and dissapears...... i got the oil changed about 1 week ago thinking that may solve at least the oil from popping up but i did not..the motor is almost stock (only intake)please any help will be greatly appreciated............... :confused:
 
Do they come on and stay on, or just come on briefly and go off again? It's totally normal for them to come on and then go off shortly after starting.

as far as i know about this motor everything is connected is there anything in special i should check for????????
 
ok make sure all belts are on....
clutch make those lights come on i dought it.

do you have enough brake fluid in your car.....
also do you were your seat belt... that could have a play in the air bag one......
brake light is the e- brake off and not on by like one click..

i hope after i change my clutch the engine light will go away...but i will try putting on my seat-belt and see what happens......the car does have fluid cause i just changed the slave and clutch master cylinder...but i think the e-break is all the way down but i will double check as soon as possible.............but could it maybe have something to do with the sensors.........and what about the oil light??
 
check your fuses, if all those lights are on, especially the oil one, get it towed to the nearest mitsu dealer and get it checked out, oil lights are not fun

if you want to do everything yourself, get a tool (sorry forgot name, find it searching) that checks what code the check engine light is, and compare it in a manual chilton or haynes, should tell you your engine problem

parking brake light, push the button, push it all the way down, release button. the wire is under the center console if you want to check that, make sure not stripped and not touching any metal.

cant help you with the airbag light, no knowledge there.

OK I'm done i don't know shit about electrical shit hopefully some one can help
you have fuse box under the hood... if your looking at the car its on the left.
it has a neat labled cover.... and tells what the fuses are check those out.
I'm not sure were the fuses are under the dash exactly i don't own a 2g so i cant tell you. :|
 
2g fuses are under the hood on the far right, and closest towards you when looking down into the engine bay.

The other fuses are under the driver's side of the car, on the left in a weird position to get to. You have to like lay down with your ribs on the door sill with the door open and your back to the seat you should see it

just look for the fuses that say brake light, lights, anything

on the turbo model there on the passenger side. ( fuse box under hood)....

i was refering to the fuse box under the hood....
 
You need to scan your car and see what code it is throwing. That will give you a better idea of whats wrong. Also you should check your ecu and make sure that the Caps are not leaking. Open up your ecu and see if it smells like rotton fish and see if their is any leakage.
