Car wouldn't start this morning

I had this problem a couple months ago and the fix was changing the stock black relays with the newer OMRON relays. SSP has a package for them. The issue is when humidity and weather causes low voltage problems. There are threads in here for this, do a search for the FPR(Fuel Pump Relay)

Maybe for the OP. My issue is definitely not related to a bad fuel relay.

Ever since I posted that my car was doing fine, it started doing the same thing, just not as worse.
This weekend, took some advice and did some research on the Relay.
For $8 and excuse to visit SSP, figured it was worth a shot.
Did it work? No. But maybe I pleased the Mitsubishi gods in the meantime.
Stopped at Autozone, on my way home. Checked the battery, no charge. Bought a new battery, put that one in.
Car starts perfect again.
Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Have you upgraded your relays. Its free from your dealership, since its a service bulletin issue.

check the link out. Could be your A−24X.
I had an issue where my car would not start due to my starter relay, turned out it was corroded. Take a gander at it. What colour are your relays? Blue? black (made in japan)? The newest are the blue one or the black (made in italy) relays

It's nearly impossible to find the Italian relays now. Omron manufactures the same relay in USA now. The SSP package has these relays. In regards to the TSB, my dealer wanted me to pay $25 a relay. ******* stealership
