Hi Everyone,
I searched the forums and cant seem to find my specific problem but then again Im a new owner so probably missed it, if so my apologies.
Here goes,
My car has 182,000kms on the clock, purchased it with 160,000kms and until recently was running perfect.A few weeks back it started to drive like the clutch was playing up ? It would surge real bad by revving up without engaging exceleration. If i feathered the excelerator it would slowly pick up speed and drive fairly normal.
I rang Mitsubushi dealers, my local mechanic and searched hours of forums to work out that the Manifold needed cleaning out as this was the most common of the issues that caused this.
I read the manual, looked at videos and proceeeded to remove and clean the manifold. I put it all back together and all was great, except there was a noticeable loss of power ?
I took it to a service agent who pugged it in to the diagnoistics and it came back with a EGR problem ?
SO, i removed it and the pipe, cleaned it thoroughly and whilst at it, removed cleaned and replaced the SCV, MAS sensor and MAP sensors as I read that these can cause issues as well.
I also replaced the Air, Oil and Fuel filters and checked all hoses for build up.
It now has gained the power back but is surging worse than before ??? to the point where i have to very lightly touch the pedal to gain traction or she will just rev like its in neutral ?
I have purchased a plug to block the signal for EGR just to see how that goes.
I have now poured so much money into this that im stuck with a car I cant drive properly and a problem that might be easy to fix but no way of knowing ?
The engine light is back on and the car is worse than ever ?
Any direction, help or advise other than burning it would greatly be appreciated.
Regards
Dave.
