A Galant has timing belts, normally the belts break if they have not been serviced. As for as jumping time they belt may stretch causing it to run bad or not to run at all. Pull the cover off of the timing belt and check the timing using the timing marks. If they are off your car is out of time.

Why do your 1998 Mitsubishi Galant shake real bad and cutoff when you stop at a traffic light or stop sign?

My car is a 1997 Mitsubishi Galant, and when it was idle it used to do the same thing, I was told it might be time to change the TPS Sensor (Throttle Position Sensor). I still need to change it, but what I figured out, is that when you let the car fully warm up, when the needle is as close to the middle as possible, it won't shake and turn off.

2000 Mitsubishi galant turns over but wont start fuel pump is working but doesn't seem like it's getting spark what could be wrong?

Could be the Crank Position Sensor (CKP). It's located behind the crank pulley on the 2.4L engine, behind the timing belt. The Timing Belt is also a possibility if it has jumped time. These are both rather complicated to change and should be handled by a professional.
