So I was doing some maintenance today and I realized that I am missing a few bolts here and there.

Is this normal?

The bolts that were in this are way too long and did no good because it still moved around.

Is there something that will tell me all the bolts, screws parts that go throughout the entire car because missing a few interior screws etc..
 
Top- I believe so
2nd- missing cam cover and that would boult there
3rd- yes
4th- does the ac work?
5th-bolt hole for cover
6th- yes, you need bolts there

go to pick and pull and find them.
 
First picture, normally (i.e., from the factory,) that hose doesn't have braided line around it. Otherwise, yes, it is normal.

Second/Third picture: the bolt Mitsubishi part number is MB553187, but it's an M8 x 1.25mm pitch x 20mm long. Hopefully the ones for the timing cover are tucked away with your middle timing cover somewhere waiting to be put back on.

Fourth picture: the bolt missing on the thick A/C line is MF243655, an M8 x 1.25mm pitch x 30mm long bolt.

Fifth: That's your cruise control box. The bolts holding the cover on are MS240121, M6 x 1.00mm pitch x 16mm long.

Sixth and for all other timing cover bolts: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/415224-timing-cover-bolt-part-numbers-needed.html#post152738333.

You'd be hard pressed to find something that lists every single bolt in the car outside of Mitsubishi's ASA or, I'd imagine, Chrysler's PAIS. The former is easy to find and download for free.
 
1st: ty good to know LOL
2nd: i have the cover but the bolts on top were too long they did not go all the way down so would not tighten
3rd a bolt needs to go there good to know LOL
4th haha not sure as I live in AK and its kinda cold out lately.
5th yep just lookin for bolt size
6th this is the cam cover from the 2nd, but just curious of bolt sizes

Pick and Pull a website? i will search for it.

19eclipse90 awesome! thanks
 
Yes you need a timing cover. Without it you take the chance of anything getting in there and making it jump time. If it jumps time the engine will be severely damaged.
 
do you need a cam cover, i like the look of it off and was wondering if its alright to take it off?

It is highly, highly, highly, highly recommended to use all timing covers. Any small pebble can get kicked up into your engine bay and find its way between the belt teeth and you can kiss your valves goodbye. In other words, there's no good reason not to have one.

If you want to see the cam gears, look into getting one of these:

I only have the top cam cover >.> I will need to get the timing cover too !
 
I can't imagine the prices for standard issue bolts from the dealership are anywhere near reasonable. All the bolts, save for the 16mm one are in the standard issue Dorman Metric Bolt Hobby Kit you can get at any Vatozone/Advance/Checkers, etc., or you can cut them to length. The bolts are stainless 8.8 metrics and the entire thing runs about 10 bucks. A bargain for what you get honestly. For any odd length bolts you need to cut, check the depth of the hole (Caliper tail or small hex and a ruler) mark the bolt, run a nut up it, cut it to length with a hack saw and remove the nut.

The next step? Bolt buckets. I have 2 or 3 of them. The junkyard has a wonderful bolt selection to choose from and large cargo pockets make them incredibly cost effective at 0.00$

Would this kit be at a Napa or Schucks or Car Quest?
Don't have any of the places you mentioned near me.
