Some Mitsubishi Montero Sport owners report experiencing starting issues after overheating, which may be attributed to several potential problems. These include serious engine damage such as a blown head gasket, warped cylinder, or damaged piston valves resulting from overheating. Additionally, owners may encounter electrical system failures, such as a dead battery, faulty alternator, or malfunctioning starter, which can prevent the vehicle from starting. Insufficient coolant flow is another concern, as it can lead to overheating and ultimately hinder the engine's ability to start. It is essential for owners to diagnose these issues promptly to avoid further damage to the vehicle.
