AboutLinda Expertise I have done a lot of work on older Mitsubishi's. Whatever has gone on with someone's car has I am sure happen to the one I work on. A lot of things, though might be the computer it could be a sensor too. Whatever I am not sure of, I will then hunt up the question useing the net. Don't know much about body work or painting a car.
Experience The Mitsubishi Eclipse I work on has over 167,000 miles on it. If it could go wrong it has. I have learned a lot from working on the car, reading books and asking people who work on other cars.
Organizations Church, I am a Christian.
Education/Credentials Have some college course on engines, working on them and keeping them repaired. Read a lot of books and try to stay ahead of things.
Question I've tried taking my car to several smog shops and even dealerships and I feel like I'm not getting a straight answer. Basically it has no problems passing the emissions, there is no check engine light but for some reason the monitors cannot reset the sensors so it will result in an automatic failure for California smog. What is it that needs to be looked at/replaced? What am I looking at in terms of costs? Car runs great other than this issue here there has been no problems....
Answer Hugo: I would have the computer coded, that would explain what is going on with your car and maybe then explain the problem to you. If you got an AutoZone close by they would do this for free and see what the computer kicks out at you. God bless: Linda
