After having participated here just a few times over the last couple of months, I felt compelled to share that initial "Post Topic" experience I had with some "Veterans" (see copy 'n pasted text below) with those "Newbys" and other "Visitors" that may be inclined to read it over Here in "New Member" Topic-Land. There's truely a wealth of information to be gleaned of this site, and I've found that it's been very well orgianized and run! Tread it well and deep while looking for what you need to learn of Your Fix-it endeavor all the while knowing that -- dispite SOME people perhaps seeming a bit craggy of "Tude" -- that's just the "Kitchen" your workin' in, where the "Chef's" can be very helpful indeed for sharing their experience and knowledge...dispite "The HEAT!" ; )

(For the whole shlemeel go see "Valve Guide Seals Surgury w/Heads ON" thread in the Montero, etc. forum)


Everyone:

I joined this "Forum" lookin' to network with others that appreciate Diamond Star Engineering as much as I do -- to share experiences and knowledge in the endeavor of better understanding this particular product for IT's unique charecteristics, and thus more correctly and effectively fix things vs. simply takin' "Hip-Shots" by replacing parts 'till something ELSE happens -- as-is the Industry of "Mechanics" so much today as it ever has been...'cause I "Speak-Up" Mitsubishi whenever My opinion is asked!

Now I can appreciate various opinions, both Objective AND Subjective (though Sodomizing Honda is a streatch... ; ), and having No Fear of jumpin' into the fire to do so, truely invite "Constructive Criticism" futher of that...but some responses to My posts so far can be only be interpreted as nothing less than Bullys tryin' to start some sh*t!

And THAT is the World of "Mechanics" isn't it...always a few hangin' it this-or-that corner of the proverbial Shop that -- for maybe having left the shop-doors closed while diagnosing Mis-Fires or having soaked their selves a lil' too much in in Carb-Cleaner/Solvent over their (FILL-IN-THE-BLANK) years of Wrenchin' -- have, can, and DO fix things with enough frequency that they continue actually doing so (arguably) "Professionally"...this dispite their apparant frustration(s) with "Life" or "Change" regarding everythning from part-numbers to "Specs" to "Platform" -- or whatever otherwise -- for their inability thus to interactively socialize "civilly" with others, but rather prefering to come-across as some manner of maniacal sociopathic "F**k UR STUPID 'n I'm ALWAYS right!!!" wing-nut?

It might work for "House" (perhaps "MAD JAX" too), and dude from "Orange County Choppers", then there's the one's mockin' "Columbo"? I digress...

Post WTF You will -- just as I will too! -- 'cause the last thing I'm gonna do is tell the Moderator of this or anyone ELSES forum how to run their Gig, and thus people will see it for what it is...That is the foundation of "Free Speach", and like the T-Shirt says: "Your problem is obvious"

Now back to Topic:

That MD 998772-A "Valve Spring Removal Tool" has been discontinued through Mitsubishi...a bitch 'cause it's twice the cost through Miller, and I'd really like using it over the "Universal" one (available from the Tool Trucks) I'm using that takes three-hands : /

Hi Everyone. I have a general question about cabin rattles. I bought a new 2010 Galant SE almost 2 years ago. From the beginning I have noticed that the front dash board has rattles in several places. I have been able to minimize some of them but some of them are hard to localize because they appear to be coming from deep within the dash board. Also, these noises appear to be temperature dependent where some will only be heard during specific times of the year. The quality of the plastics used in the dash board appears to be somewhat cheap. Is it normal for a Galant dash board to have rattles? Should I try to localize and minimize every rattle or learn to ignore the ones I can't fix? Thanks in advance for any responses.

I have a 94 expo 2.4L auto. My question deals with the distributor and cap. The old distributor was declared to be overheating ?? and replaced. I got the car back and noticed that the cap did not sit down and over the edge of the distributor. There is a 1/16 slot between the two parts. I replaced the cap ,rotor, and wires only to find that this cap did not fit also. I looked at the top of the distributor itself and noticed that the top of the distributor around the screw holes has a 1/16 standoff or puddle of material around it. Holding the cap off of the distributor body and not allowing the cap to seal down flush upon the top edge of the distributor. I think that when this distributor was rebuilt they re-cased the the screw holes area, but didn't remove the waste off the lip ? Anyone got any idea about this ??????

A good friend of mine owns a carbon fiber (Real carbon fiber) business (G3 Composites LLC). He & I have been friends for over 10 years.

We're both enthusiasts as well, of course. All supplies are sourced from the USA & all work is done in the USA (He is based in FL)

I am posting to gauge interest on what folks may want.

I'd be happy to become a vendor if there was enough interest.

I just sent him several pieces from my Corvette that I should have soon. Can't wait to get them back.

Here is a link to some of the work he has done:

Hello guy,

This is my first post on the site, I own a 2008 mistu lancer 1.5L 4A91 engine and i was wondering is I can use the Purolator Oil Filter: L14610?
On another note I have been experiencing some rough idling while my foot is on the break, I was told by my dealer that there was a flaw in the electronic throttle body
and nothing can be done about it, I was just curious, is this a regular issue with this model year car? He also told me that the new model cars came with an upgraded throttle body and that they can adjust it because there are screws and not riveted like mines.

Any feed back on both questions would be greatly appreciated.

Japanese automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi today announced partnership that will see the two companies work together on a mini-car project. The joint venture brings together the struggling Mitsubishi Motors with the more successful Nissan brand.

As a part of the plan, Nissan has appointed its Senior Vice President Junichi Endo as CEO of the joint-venture, while Mitsubishi Motors Senior Executive Officer will be COO.

No details on the vehicle itself have been named, but a mini-car is likely to be smaller than the new Concept Global Small Car that Mitsubishi unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show last week.

Of note, Nissan recently had to scrap plans to deliver a vehicle for the Smart brand in North America after a corporate restructuring by Smart parent company Daimler brought development of that car to a halt.

More: Nissan, Mitsubishi Announce Mini-Car Joint Venture on AutoGuide.com

As automakers look for ways to save fuel and reduce emissions, idle shut-off systems are becoming increasingly prevalent. Now, Mitsubishi has jumped on the bandwagon, releasing the first details on its new 4J10 1.8-liter gasoline motor which features Auto Stop and Go technology.

The engine, which also incorporates an updated version of Mitsubishi's MiVEC variable valve timing (that combines both valve lift and duration based on engine speed as well as continuously variable valve timing – previous motors had one or the other); will be available from this month in the Japanese Domestic Market RVR crossover, plus the Galant Fortis sedan and Sportback (known as the Lancer in North America and most other markets).

In JDM configuration, the new engine will be rated at 139 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 126.9 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 revs and provides a roughly 12 percent gas mileage improvement on the Lancer and RVR. Although currently, the Auto Stop and Go system is only available on cars with manual gearboxes, Mitsubishi has been developing a version that can be used on those equipped with Continuously Variable Transmissions.

Given ever tightening fuel economy and smog requirements in other parts of the world, particularly Europe and North America, expect derivatives of this engine to appear in export markets in the near future, notably the Lancer sedan and Sportback, plus the RVR and ASX/Outlander Sport.

Hi, I live in Puerto Rico USA, and I am looking for a 4G92 MIVEC engine to do a 4G15 swap from a 2001 Mirage. Since these engines are extremely difficult to get, I could contact a guy from New Zeland who got one from 1997 model. He sells the loom, ecu, gear box, and engine + dash and will be looking for USD 1600. Shipping will be another 500 USD aproximatedly. Is it a good deal? Comments are welcome.

Is 1996 Model Space Wagon ODB2 compliant?

If yes, were is the location?

Hi,
I bought a fairly used Mitsubishi Space Wagon, 1996 Model.

It came with only one Key, and I cut another key for spare.
The new key could open the door, turn the ignation, revolve the engine, but will not start the car. I was informed that the new key cannot start the car because the original key has a sensor.

Two days ago, I misplaced the original key and all I have now is the one I cut and it cant start the car.

Here are my questions:
1. What is the procedure for programming a new key?

2. Does this model require any equipment for programming a new key?

3. If it requires any, where is the connector?

4. What can I do with the key I have?

Here is the VIN (if it can help): JMBLRN33WTZ000354

Thanks

Is anyone going to MOD 2011 this year? I live in Cypress so it is literally down the street from me. I know lots of car clubs are going out to this event. Many Lancer/Evo forums are setting up caravans from San Diego. I tried searching for this event but to no avail. I find it hard to believe that this forum has nothing on this since this is a pretty big deal to this site. Well if you go, should be fun. See ya there.

2007 Outlander - Just had a chat with my dealer - the best they can get from Mitsubishi Canada as a price for the map update is GET THIS $365.00 - for a map update that is dated 3rd quarter 2009.
If you are buying a new Mitsu DO NOT waste your money on the nav system. Not only does it have some very serious errors (in my 2005 map - Higway 1 in BC for instance is on the wrong side of the Fraser River).
The lack of customer contact or the ability that is for you or I to be able to contact Mitsubishi Canada or US is non existant. An email inquiry is never answered nor are phone messages. 5 of each in the past year.
Will I buy out my lease in October - not sure .. frustration is annoying

Mitsubishi's mid-size offerings, already long in the tooth and outdated, may have to soldier on to 2013, after which point they will be unceremoniously executed as Mitsubishi shifts its focus from heavy, lumbering mid-size cars to small vehicles and electric powertrains.

Mitsubishi is currently lacking in capital, and is investing all of its cash in the development of a new global small car, that is slated to be production-ready by late 2012. Until then, the U.S. Mitsubishi range will undergo no changes, save for the introduction of the Outlander Sport and iMIEV.

With no mainstream product in sight for another years, it will be a tough road for Mitsubishi to keep selling cars in the United States as the competition gets better and better.

An episode of The Simpsons that aired in 1995 gave us a vision of life in the year 2010, and the marriage of Lisa Simpson to a British aristocrat. Amid talk of World War III, sentient robots and flying cars, Lisa and her fiancé part ways after he tells her she is "a flower that grew out of a pot of dirt". We may not be blessed with Jetsons-era technology, but we are blessed with a Venus Fly Trap of a car, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR, one that truly did emerge from a worm-infested vase of mulch.

Mitsubishi is in a difficult spot, with a lineup that is radioactive to buyers and lacking the resources to do much about it, but that hasn't stopped them from making strides. The new Outlander Sport is a decent effort, but cars like the dismal Galant still loom in the background. Fortunately, the brand has a luminous halo in the form of the Lancer Evolution, a car that does nothing for the company's bottom line, but everything for its image and reputation.

With the Evo comes all the hype of more than a decade of American consumers being denied this car, and it's important to establish the Evo is many things, but refined is not one of them. The interior is still behind the Koreans in terms of quality and finish. The ride is stiff and uncompromising in day to day driving, the Recaro seats, while aesthetically arresting, offer little concessions to comfort or convenience, the trunk can barely hold a carry-on suitcase and a helmet bag (essentials for a track day far from home) and the go-fast bits like the BBS alloys, bright red Brembo brakes and the painfully gauche rear wing (notably absent on our test car) would give one second thoughts about taking the boss for lunch in this car.

The president of Mitsubishi, Osamu Masuko, is "very interested" in producing electric Formula 1 cars, with an eye to mutually compatible technology with their road cars. The governing body of Formula 1, the Federation Internationale de lÀutomobile, announced this month that it is working with representatives of the European Commission to develop a racing series for electric vehicles.

Mitsubishi has a long motorsports heritage predominantly in rallying but it withdrew from its main focus, the Dakar Rally in 2009. "I'm said to be unenthusiastic about motor sports," Masuko added, "but with electric vehicles, I want to promote them."

Mitsubishi introduced its i MiEV (Mitshubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) in 2009 and will be sold in the United States. Masuko explained that "The development costs for electric vehicles seem much lower than for gasoline cars and it would also contribute to the technological development of cars that are already on the market."

Mitsubishi is developing a post 2013 successor to its highly regarded Lancer Evolution, and is considering a high-performance plug in hybrid build on the next generation Lancer platform coming out in 2013. The new model would utilize technology previewed on Mitsubishi`s PX-MiEV concept from 2009.

Ok so does anyone have any good/funny letter sayings for mitsubishi example: ford Found On Road Dead

Hi

Over the last year I just been using my FTO for short 10 minute journeys. It has started leaking small puddles of coolant before the engine fully got to working temperature.

I investigated and noticed a leak from the bottom cold return hose and tried changing clip. The leak still occured so I replaced with a new hose which was only slightly better at slowing the rate of loss down. I then began to investigate why this was happening and it appeared that the hose was quite hard (over-pressurised perhaps?).

I checked for obvious signs of head gasket issue. The oil is clean. There doesn't seem to be bubbling under the tower cap.

I also wondered why the pressure wasn't just coming out at the overflow part as it was seeming to affect the lower return hose instead.

I have since added some k-seal which seems to have plugged the leak from the hose at the radiator end but now it leaks under pressure at the engine end. When the car is up to full working temperature it doesn't leak at the hoses however they are hard to touch with no give.

Has anyone else had a similar issue in the past? The car has been used for short trips over the last year (10mins) which may have contributed to this issue.

Thanks RedFTOGR

The Mitsubishi i electric vehicle will start at $20,490 after a federal tax credit, coming in at nearly $5000 less than a Nissan Leaf. The $20,490 sticker price is for a base ES model, while the upgraded SE trim with an 8-speaker 360 watt stereo, leather wrapped steering wheel, 15″ alloys and fog lamps will cost $22,490.

Mitsubishi will also offer an option packing for $2,790 that features a DC quick charging port, allowing the car to recharge to 80 percent battery level in 30 minutes. Other features include a navigation system, backup camera, steering wheel audio controls and a FUSE hands-free system.

Customers will be able to order their i starting on April 22nd via Mitsubishi's online ordering system. Potential buyers will then have to PayPal $299 for a refundable deposit, and $99.99 for a home inspection fee (waived for the first 2,000 customers) to make sure their home can handle EV charging equipment. Once this process is complete, customers will be able to take delivery of their car as soon as it reaches our shores in November, 2011.

Purchased a 2009 Lancer ES Sport Manual. It has the "feature" that prevents it's owner from locking their keys within their car which is all fine and good... but... What about those that want to run out to their vehicle, and start it to warm it up while they finish getting ready for work? No way to lock the vehicle with the car running and keys outside?..

(no I cannot currently afford the remote start)

Is there a way to disable the lock out prevention feature?..

I also notice that if the key is not within the car and the car is running the vehicle can be driven off without the key!.. (weird).. So this is obviously not an option.. I have to find a way to lock the doors while my vehicle is warming up outside of my house while parked on the street..


Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide!



*I am new to the boards and I have attempted numerous searches for this, I appologize in advance if I missed the answer to this question somewhere..

Designing a single car for the entire world is a tough proposition. No matter how hard engineers strive towards a unified design, concessions must usually be made, particularly with regards to engine and gearbox choices. Other instances have called for variations in size to suit regional tastes.

While the Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze are technically world cars, albeit with different powertrains for different markets, Mitsubishi is forging ahead with a much more ambitious world car project.

In an interview with Autocar magazine, Mitsubishi's global product director, Gayu Eusegi, said that the company was limiting regional changes to its not Global Small Car "colours and interior fabrics", and that engine variations would only be carried out in the name of meeting emissions standards.

Mitsubishi is apparently planning on using 1.0L and 1.2L gasoline engines, with a start-stop system. While such small engines are the norm in most markets, they would be considered extremely undersized for North America. Mitsubishi also plans on offering hybrid and full electric versions of the car.

Mitsubishi has been in the news quite a bit lately, mostly to do with the rumors that the Lancer Evolution is to be killed off by 2013. Those rumors also suggested that Mitsubishi will now focus their energy on hybrids and full-electric vehicles.

Now comes the news that Mitsubishi North America has a new President and CEO, to perhaps get things back on the right track. Yoichi Yokozawa will take the helm from Shinichi Kurihara as of April 1, 2011. Kurihara will be returning to Japan to continue working for the company.

Yokozawa is not new to the company either, having already served 13-years with Mitsubishi, which included heading the brands European board.

Yokozawa has worn many hats within Mitsubishi and we wish him all the best for the future. And Mr. Yokozawa if you're listening, don't kill off the Evo.

If there's one letter that represents Mitsubishi's new global small car concept, it's not B, but 'e'. While a B-Segment (or subcompact) car, Mitsubishi touts the vehicle's "e-compact" characteristics, with the e standing for everything from efficiency, to engineering, to economies, to export, to electric.

The reason for those e-words is quite simple, with Mitsubishi engineering this new model to be flexible to all markets in the world, exporting it from a production facility in Thailand where it will make use of economies of scale as well as efficiencies in the production process to build this concept into a low cost, high value production model. And built it they will, with the Concept Global Small set to roll out in 2012.

Mitsubishi intends that the platform will be able to serve as a basic and cheap method of transportation in emerging markets, while doubling as a higher-content model for markets such as Japan, Europe and North America.

Measuring 12.2 feet long, the concept car has room for 5 and can be powered by either a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine, using start-stop technology and brake energy regeneration. And being that this is a Mitsubishi, look for an electric version to follow.

The future of Mitsubishi in America is tied very closely to its production facility in Normal, Ill. Having suffered significantly in the market over the past several years (sales for 2010 were just 55,683 units compared to 345,111 in 2002), the Japanese automaker is planning a shakeup.

According to Automotive News, Mitsubishi will build vehicles based on the Lancer/Outlander platform at the Normal, Ill. facility in two years time. As a result, the current models being built there could get the axe entirely. They include the Galant, Endeavor, Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder.

Once the core of Mitsubishi's sales, these models have failed to keep up with the times, lacking significant updates, as well as more advanced technology, equipment and design. A mid-sized car like the Galant is, however, key to success in the U.S. market and so it's unlikely the automaker will abandon that segment entirely.

Hot on the heels of Mitsubishi's joint venture announcement with Nissan comes word that the Japanese conglomerate is developing all of their future products with the ability to use hybrid or electric drive technology.

Mitsubishi's German spokesman, Helmut Bauer, would only give a cryptic statement to a German magazine, claiming that "Every new car we develop will also be able to be driven by electricity". Nothing more was said about the planned electrification of Mitsubishi's lineup, but with the company fading fast into irrelevance, a drastic measure like this might be a shrewd move in light of their much touted i-MiEV electric car.

I bought an OMRON G8D-525M-A keyless remote for my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant for $50

That ticks me off because I know that the cost of these things is under a dollar.

Anyway, the instructions that came with it seem to be translanted from chinese and don't make sense.
They act like you have to take the car apart to do it, and risk blowing up the engine.

It can't be that difficult.

How do I do it?

Woke up at around 5:10 am to a faint "beep, beep" 20-30 second pause. Thought i was going crazy at first but I heard it again so i got out of bed went to the livign room and heard it again. However it came from behind me about where the smoke detector was. However low battery alarm on a smoke detector sounds different. Waited for the beeps again and it came form beside me where my keys were hanging on a hook.

My impact sensor on the 2-way remotes was going off.

Get dressed run outside try to figure out what set of the alarm. Didn't really notice anything but then noticed the bumper and headlight were not quite aligned together right. Do another lap aorund the car and look at the misalignment. Look lower then see the damage. Nice sections of damage was done to the lower portion of the front bumper on the passenger side.

Tried going back to sleep, which I couldn't so walked to the office. It is going to be one of those days.

Mitsubishi-tuner Ralliart has announced that as of April 1st it will close its doors, effectively ceasing operations. In a statement released on the Ralliart website, company President Masao Taguchi blamed the recent economic downturn.

"Because of the sudden change of economy situation since the year before last, the business circumstance surrounding our company radically became worse and so, this time we have reached the conclusion that we Ralliart Inc., would scale down our business activities as of the end of March 2010. Along with the scale down of our business activities this time, we would cease the following business and operation which we have done so far. We would like to express our sincere apology to all of customers though we would make you much inconveniences."

Ralliart's shut down will mean that the tuner, so closely associated with Mitsubishi, and which currently works with Mitsubishi to produce several Ralliart models, will cases supporting its motorsports customers, stop development of new products and terminate communications of new products and news via its website. It is not clear if Mitsubishi will no longer offer Ralliart models or if the Japanese automaker intends to continue Ralliart products as part of a new internal part of the company.

Say it ain't so.

Had a good trip last week with ASX 3 1.8 Diesel 500 miles on all kind of roads and in towns, Filled the tank again and by my calculations had 48miles to the gallon (my right foot IS on the heavy side) very pleased. Gwil

Hey
To anyone that may help. I have a 3000GT VR4, that ticks. My check engine light comes on at around 4500 rpm in 2nd gear. The tick sometimes is pretty faint, but other times loud. When I start the car again the light comes off. I changed the oil and add around 3 quater of the bottle of seafoam (16 oz bottle). Seafoam is for small engines, but I used it anyway. Also my car grinds in gears. The 2nd and 3rd gear grind, and sometimes I have trouble going into reverse. Aamco rebuilt the tranny for me, but I still notice the grinding. Thanx

Rumors of Mitsubishi‘s withdrawal from the U.S. market arose in the midst of the recession and despite new product unveilings the reports have continued to surface. In a recent interview with Automotive News, Mitsubishi Motors Corp. President Osamu Masuko fought back stating that, "We have never thought about withdrawing from the U.S. market, and we will not do so."

Instead Masuko says he plans to quadruple sales in the U.S., increasing total volume to 200,000 units – up from the current 50,000 unit range. To do this he says the brand will need to have patience, while reducing its significant incentive program in order to create profits. New products will also play a crucial role and the launch of the new Outlander Sport compact crossover (competing with the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4) is the first of those. There are also reports that Mitsubishi will bring the sub-compact Colt back to North America in response to a resurgence in small cars.

But the bigger questions for Mitsubishi have to do with its current products and facilities. In particular, the Galant sedan, Eclipse coupe and convertible and Endeavor SUV face challenges, with Masuko stating that, "it is not possible to continue with the models that we have had."

In addition, Mitsubishi has yet to announce what it will do with its Normal, Ill. production facility.

Answers to the many questions facing Mitsubishi are expected when the company unveils a mid-term business plan, which is expected to drop in November.
