I sprayed my 95 Mitsubishi Galant motor off and rinsed it off, it ran for about twenty minutes and then shut off. Now its just turning ad will not start.

I was driving the car on the hwy. When we reached 65 mph like a lot of these other people are saying but it was my distributor that went out. Since I have a manual transmission it would start and drive but every time it reached 65 mph or 3400 RPM the engine would sputter and stall out. Also I have had to put a second engine in the vehicle due to a timing belt slipping and breaking the lower unit off the car. The air conditioner pulley had 5 screws break off causing the A/C to blow out, I had to replace it. The window pulley system cable broke causing the manual window to not roll up or down on drivers side. Also the wiring going to the headlights are messed up, the lights work but you have to raise the hood and mess with the back of the halogen to get it to come on. There is an unusual amount of rust on the drivers side rear on the frame. My fuel gauge when full only reads 3/4. about 2 weeks after having the car a spring in the drivers seat began poking me in the back. I got a seat from a junk yard. I have paid for all the repairs on the car so far and am looking for either retribution or someone to help with these problems from re-occurring. My incint date is when thing began to happen and till this day I am fighting battles like the tachometer begins jumping around when running at constant speeds w/O engine revving or anything. One more thing the haze on the window has caused it almost impossible to drive at night.

Specifically, the drivers-side mat gets stuck under the accelerator pedal. It is a hazard, especially when trying to accelerate onto a merge or when passing other vehicles. The dealer installed a clip to hold the mat in place, however, the clip doesn't even stay in place. On many, many occasions, I will step on the accelerator and the mat gets stuck, forcing the acceleration even further and not letting you slow down the acceleration speed. In other words, it feels like you have no control over the vehicle's acceleration speed, for the mat actually holds the pedal down. I believe the mats are defective, either too thick to fit under the accelerator pedal or too heavy for the clip. I drove the car for an entire year, thinking there was something wrong with the accelerator until I got my car washed and the mats were adjusted (pulled further back under the drivers seat) before I realized the mat was getting caught under the accelerator. I've reported this to Mitsubishi on numerous occasions, and even had a mat clip installed, but I've found that the only thing that works, is if I actually retro-fit the mat and turn it backwords. Then and only then, does the mat stay in place, but only temporarily, for when you get in and out of the car or in normal foot to pedal maneuvers (when driving or braking) the mat shifts under the accelerator pedal again, causing the accelerator to stick again. Thank you.
