🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Mitsubishi Model: Galant Year: 1990 👋 Introduction Market Position Market Position: The 1990 Mitsubishi Galant was a key player in the mid-size sedan segment, known for its sporty handling and advanced technology for its time, competing against vehicles like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Ford Taurus. It aimed to offer a blend of performance, comfort, and distinctive styling. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Positioned as a more driver-focused alternative to some competitors, the Galant emphasized its chassis dynamics, often featuring independent suspension on all four wheels and optional all-wheel drive (AWD) in higher trims or specific markets. The styling was also more angular and aggressive compared to some contemporaries. Key Features Key Features: Advanced aerodynamic styling, sophisticated independent suspension, available ECI Multi Fuel Injection, optional 4-wheel steering (Super HICAS in some markets/trims), comfortable interior, and reliable powertrain options. Styling Styling: The E30 Galant featured a sleek, aerodynamic design for its era, characterized by clean lines, flush headlights (often composite), and a low drag coefficient. It was considered a modern and somewhat European-inspired design. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: Engine, Drivetrain, Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Electrical System, Bodywork, HVAC, Fuel System, Emissions Control, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Procedures, Wiring Diagrams, Technical Specifications, Special Tools Page Count Page Count: Estimated 1500+ pages (typical for comprehensive factory service manuals of this era) Manual Type Manual Type: Factory Service Manual (FSM) / Repair Manual Language Language: English Format Format: Software (likely digital format like PDF or proprietary software) 📖 Manual Coverage Systems Covered Systems Covered: Engine Mechanical, Engine Control (ECI/MPI), Fuel Injection, Ignition System, Cooling System, Lubrication System, Exhaust System, Automatic Transmission (AT), Manual Transmission (MT), Front Suspension, Rear Suspension, Power Steering, Hydraulic Power Brakes, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS - if equipped), Lighting System, Instrumentation, Audio System, Power Windows/Locks/Mirrors, Wiper/Washer System, Climate Control (HVAC), Body Electrical, Chassis Electrical, Security System, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), Emissions Control Systems Procedures Included Procedures Included: Routine Maintenance, Inspection, Adjustment, Component Removal and Installation, Overhaul Procedures, Troubleshooting Charts, Diagnostic Flowcharts, Wiring Diagram Interpretation, Torque Specifications, Special Tool Usage, Component Testing, Driveability Diagnosis Technical Depth Technical Depth: Comprehensive; covers everything from basic fluid changes and adjustments to in-depth engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, and advanced electrical system diagnostics.
