1991 Mitsubishi Montero LS 3.0L 12-valve

Summary:

Very reliable!

Faults:

The engine misfired & needed to change the OE spark plug cables to Magnecor brand. The ISC Stepper Motor had to be changed to regulate Idle Speed. Yearly check the ECU (computer box) for any faults or trouble codes.

General Comments:

This old school SUV is built like a rock. Just service it regularly with a good parts (OE or a good brand after-market parts), it will always run & get you there with no problem.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1991 Mitsubishi Montero LS 3.0 gas

Summary:

I think it is reliable car

Faults:

After under wash with pressurize water, check engine red light did not disappear.

Is this a big problem or just a minor problem?

I suspect electrical wirings are wet does having " check engine" warning light appearing on the panel board because of recent under washing activities.

General Comments:

I only have this car last November, but I think this car is reliable.

Is anybody who owns '91 LS Montero can give copy of parts manual?

These vehicles were programmed to the have the Check Engine light come on at certain intervals - It may just need to be reset. To reset, there is a switch behind the odometer - you need to take the instrument cluster cover off to do this. It's really a simple thing to do.

You are confusing the check engine light with the maintenance reminder light. The check engine light indicates a problem and is NOT programmed to "come on at certain intervals".

It's not the check engine light that comes on at certain intervals. It's another light that says maintenance required.

General Comments:

I have acquired recently '91Montero LS as 3rd owner.

I am comfortable driving this car, but I like extra seats at the baggage area to maximize the space.

This car is reliable in terms of safety and performance except that maintenance is too expensive here in the Philippines.
