  Regina AllenAug 1, 2025
  If your Mitsubishi Engine's starter cranks but the engine fails to start, consider these potential causes. First, check the fuel system: ensure you haven't run out of fuel, and inspect for any blocked pipes, improper fuel properties, fuel leakage in pipes, or a clogged fuel filter. Also, an insufficient amount of air might be the problem; check the turbocharger and clean or replace the air cleaner element and pre-cleaner. Addressing these areas should help diagnose why your engine isn't starting.

Why Mitsubishi S16R2-PTAW Engine fuel consumption is high?
- D
  Denise GarciaAug 5, 2025
  High fuel consumption in your Mitsubishi Engine can be attributed to several factors. Issues within the fuel system, such as a faulty fuel injection timing, improper fuel properties, or fuel leakage in fuel pipes and injection pipes could be the cause. Also, overcooled cooling system or an insufficient amount of air in the inlet and exhaust systems can lead to increased fuel consumption.

Why Mitsubishi S16R2-PTAW starter does not crank or cranks slowly?
- N
  Norma MeyerAug 10, 2025
  If your Mitsubishi Engine starter isn't cranking or is cranking slowly, leading to start failure, several factors could be at play. It might be due to a faulty wire connection, so check the fuse and wiring connections of each relay between the battery, starter, and starter switch. An insufficiently charged or weak battery could also be the culprit; in this case, check the alternator, the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte, and consider charging or changing the battery. High oil viscosity or excessive oil can also impede the starter; ensure you're using the appropriate engine oil and check the oil amount and lubrication system.

  sanchezamyAug 16, 2025
  A decrease in your Mitsubishi Engine's output could stem from several issues. Start by checking the fuel system for problems like improper fuel properties, a clogged fuel filter, or other fuel-related issues. Also, investigate the inlet and exhaust systems for an insufficient amount of air or increased exhaust air resistance. Finally, consider whether the cooling system is experiencing overheating or overcooling, as these can also impact engine performance.

Why Mitsubishi S16R2-PTAW exhaust smoke is black or charcoal?
- I
  ilambAug 21, 2025
  Black or charcoal exhaust smoke from your Mitsubishi Engine may indicate several potential issues. Check for improper fuel properties within the fuel system. An insufficient amount of air in the inlet and exhaust systems or increased resistance of exhaust air could also be contributing factors.

How to fix white or blue exhaust smoke from Mitsubishi S16R2-PTAW?
- N
  natasha48Aug 26, 2025
  White or blue exhaust smoke from a Mitsubishi Engine can be caused by several issues. It could be due to improper fuel properties, combustion of engine oil, or the engine running too cool. Check the cetane index and use appropriate fuel. Also check the amount of engine oil and lubrication system. Inspect the radiator and thermostat.
