Just a quick word of advice based on my out of pocket experience:
If you have a yellow light on and the car is using 20% more fuel AND is over 40k miles OR you haven't had a new oxygen sensor for 40k miles then the probable cause is the sensor as they only last 40k miles approx, once the sensor dies the cars brain runs of default settings - hence the 20% more fuel use.
DON'T pay you local Mitsubishi dealer to read the fault with his machine - he will charge you about £45 plus vat PER GO - a fault fix may need several go's
DO Buy a OBDC reader from ebay for about £35 - Mine is a CAR CARE u480 CAN OBD2 AUTOSCANNER car diagnostic tool - this box will also allow you to turn off the yellow light
(which will re illuminate again if the fault remains) it has a error code book that will take you to the faulty part
Also you can reset the yellow light by resetting the whole electronic ignition unit by simply removing the red + battery lead for 10 seconds. (again expect the light to illuminate again after a few minutes ... each time ... that is until the actual fault is resolved)
ALSO Mitsubishi wanted £130 for a new Lambda oxygen sensor - I found one available from the NGK replacement oxygen sensor catalogue HOWEVER the correct one for ENGINE 4G92 was incorrectly listed against the 1.8 engine anyway buy this part - its about £48 to £78 once you have found a supplier for NGK Oxygen sensors
don't fit a generic one as i did they DO NOT WORK , they all have specific amperages and heat tolerances - you cant just use anything THIS IS THE CORRECT PART
NGK Oxygen Sensor Part No NGK 0ZA448-E53 Stock No 0448 Book Ref 460000448010
well looks like that might save someone about £150 on their dealer bill.
Oh finally the sensor is on the outlet manifold, it looks like a spark plug, you can buy an open sided socket from ebay to fit these with to protect the wiring.
it takes 10 mins
> disconnect its connector block > wrench out the old one >
wrench in the new sensor > reconnect the connector block > DONE
fitting is the same as with plugs - wait until threads are just about biting then wap it in 1/4 of a turn - no more.
SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE !!! SAVE A FORTUNE

has any one done or seen a fuel pressure regulator fitted to a carisma? the standar procedure is replace the stock pressure regulator with one which you can adjust to higher pressure, buttt having a quick peek at the 1.8 engine bay i think the fuel system is a little bit more complicated then that...and the the pressure is made and regulated all in the pump on the side of the head...

Mitsubishi have a Turbocharged gdi engine, and im thinking about doing it to mine, the problems i see tho is the gdi injectors, the ecu and the gdi engines compression ratio. the gdi injectors i believe can only run up to 58psi without the car going into emergancy mode which obviously then brings me onto the ecu which would cause this....Does any one know if its possible to get larger injectors for the 1.8 GDI, i have a found a gdi turbo ecu by magnetti marreli which can drive the injectors and run the engine under quite large levels of boost, and lastley the compression ratio is somthing like 12.5 : 1 this would have to be lowered dramaticly, and restrict the car to run probly 7psi maximum boost.. the 4g93 turbo kit would do the trick up to obviously the injectors (aswell as fuel pump, pressure regualtor etc) so iwas wondering if anyone has attempted this or even looked into it.

Hi
I have a problem with my '97 Carisma 1.8glx (not GDi)
I has a very hard time accelerating from standstill and at low revs. It feels like the engine is choking/stops firing. But as soon as it passes 2000rpm the problem diminishes. The weird thing is, that the problem only occurs when the engine is hot. The first few kilometres theres no trouble, but then it starts.
My theory is that it could be caused by a loose aternator belt. Thats also explains the lack of problems when the enginge is cold, since it will expand when heated. I tried pushing it down and it will move some 11 or 12 millimetres before coming to a stop. That seems a bit much to me, but I don't know this model so well. Anyone know where to find torque values and specifications for it on the net? Alas Haynes has not yet made a repair manual.
Any other bids on what my problem is? (except for my poor english off course:-)
Regards
Vonmag

My car is cranking but not starting, I do not think there is fuel reaching the engine. When I took the top bolt out from the fuel filter the fuel leaking seemed under high pressure so I think the main fuel pump in the tank is working but the fuel not reaching the carb from the fuel filter? I've tried pressurised air through the hose to the tank and the hose to the engine but nae luck. Could it be air in the system? A little stuck, I could really do with some advice from someone with mechanical experience.

Hello,
The alternator belt tensioner for my Carisma 2002 DiD is wore out and causing the belt to come off/eat itself away.
I obtained a spurious part for it but the spring in the tensioner seems to be wound the 'wrong way'. The tensioner pulley is pushing the wrong way. The part is just about identical in every way with the part I took out of the car but it is of the opposite handedness (if you know what I mean)
The people in the shop are sure that this part is listed for my car. Part No. 55585K (can remember the maker)
Anyone any thoughts. They checked the part with a second part in case it was assembled incorrectly but it was the same.
Can anyone give me a part number for this part (spurious). I guess I could go the main dealers and throw in an arm(s) and a leg(s)
The engine is an FQ9. The car has no Air Conditioning. Would this make a difference to pushing direction of pulley?
What other models of cars have the exact same engine?
Renault Trafic (2002)?
Volvo S40 (2002)?
I may be able to purchase the part for these other engines if I knew the exact make and model.
Image of tensioner attached.
Any help appreciated.

When I accelerate in 4th over 40 the ecu light comes on and I lose all power.
After pulling over and switching the engine off the car starts with no problem . This has happend twice in the last two days. I must add I was accelerating to over take so I was accelerating harder than normal.
Ps cannot be the throttle body as I replaced this last year.

Hello. im wondering if anyone has any idea whats up with my A/C
I went to halfords and got the £40 topup can with the pressure hose.
My a/c was low so i topped it up to the right level. the next day i rechecked to see if there was any leaks in the system, only to find it at 65psi (very high).
I removed some gas to see if it was over filled, but the presure just went back up to what it was... (65psi)
Any idea's on what could do this?
Thanks.

I am having a bit of a problem with my car, the revs of the engine seems to jump/increase too much when i press the accelerator, in that this jumps far more then it should then falls again and the revs increase as it should do (normally) even though i have the accelerator pressed down. Does anyone know what could be causing this? This is intermittent and doesn't seem to occur all the time. My car is a mitsubishi carisma 1.6 glxi 1998 model
Thanks in advance guys

The oil cap seems to be held by a screw, but when I twist the screw, which is easy enough - I can see that the screw head is becoming damaged. I take it the screw needs to be removed in order to take the oil cap off and fill with oil or am I missing something?
Any help would really be appreciated - thanks very much!

My air conditioning has a very annoying problem, when in fan speed 3 or 4 and when driving it constantly 'clunks' and kicks in and out every second or so!
My mate who is an a/c engineer put some gauges on it and confirmed that the gas charge is sweet but as he is not a car a/c man he couldn't really do much more!
Anyone who has had similair problems?
Cheers

I have a Carisma 1.6 1996. A couple of weeks ago one coolant hose came off in the middle of the highway. I didn't noticed it before the engine was very hot and died. I fixed it and drove home.
Ever since then the car has been very hard started. I have to push the throttle and crank it some time before it starts. But then it sounds like it's going on 2 cylinders for a couple of seconds. But then it runs like a dream...
Please help me! Whats wrong?

Hi Everyone, as you can see i'm new to this Mitsubishi forum.
I currently own a R plate Carisma 1.8glxi (petrol), its flown through another M.O.T,
The problem i currently have is that on the drivers side of the car, there is a knocking that i can feel through the drivers pedals, i have replaced the anti-roll bars on both side, had the car at a local garage, up on the ramp and the bushes and springs seem to be ok.
So i am completly confused as to what it could be? Any idea would be useful, cheers everyone.

I am looking for a bit of advice please.
I have a 2004 Carisma Equippe 1.6. A short time ago, the rev counter stopped working. About a week later when driving in heavy motorway traffic, the rev-counter suddenly went haywire and the engine management light came on. I had a diagnostic run on the car and it came back with a "misfire" code. After having the car serviced, the light went off. Last week, again when driving in heavy motorway traffic, the rev counter came back to life for a minute or two, before stopping again and the engine management light coming back on. Otherwise, the car appears to be running okay.
Has anyone had any similar problems or could they shed any light on potential cause?
Is it possible that the failure of the rev-counter could lead to the ECU mistakenly thinking that the car had misfired?
Is it worth getting repaired - any idea on what is involved and potential costs?
I have very limited knowledge regarding cars so any help/advise would be much appreciated!
Thanks

The drivers side front spring on my Carisma Did snapped recently. I acquired a replacement from a local motor factor and had same fitted. Since then I have had a metallic clunking sound come from the spring when close manouvering. Is there anything at the top of the spring assembly which may have also gone when the spring snapped. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi i am asking this for a friend and need a bit of advice on a mitsubishi carisma fitted with a gdi engine its a W reg. They was complaing about it being gutless and the revs were high at idle. Heard something about the throttle coking up on them so they cleaned it out with carb cleaner but after they did it they run it with the hose between the air sensor and throttle body off. Now the engine management light is on and it won't rev over 2000rpm. Also the breather pipe from the rocker cover to the air hose was held in with sealant and now is hanging out is this the problem or is it something they have done to the throttle body? any help appreciated. Also is there anyway of turning the light of with out taking it to garage

Hi All,
Hoping one of you Mitsubishi gurus may be able to help?
I have a Mitsubishi Carsima 1.8 petrol engined model, and have clutch problems. The clutch does not engage or disengage correctly, and there is leaking from the bottom of the engine where I would expect a slave cylinder to leak fluid.
This seems to point toward a Slave Cylinder issue, rather than Master Cylinder issue, but I cannot find any reference to a Slave cylinder in the workshop manual that I have found on this site.
I wonder if anyone can confirm that the Carisma does indeed have one, and that I am barking up the right tree in replacing the slave cylinder to rectify this fault?
Is it a big job or easy enough job?
Thanks
Neil

Hi
I assume that there is a buzzer on my 1998 1.8 Carisma to warn that the lights have been left on.
If there is the one, it is not working on my car.
The interior lights work when the doors are opened therefore the door switches are ok so the problem would appear to be the buzzer. Does anyone know where it is located or of anything else that would cause the same problem.
Thanks.

Fuel Injection pump (GDI Unit ) has been leaking petrol. Took to a garage who said it was due to corrosion and would either have to get a new unit at 800 quid or a second hand unit! That was about two months ago since then me and a friend decided to take the unit off although it had been leaking petrol we could see ne evidence of corrosion, so we cleaned the unit back up and sealed where it had been leaking and fitted it back on. Job done, or so we thought! The car had trouble starting but when it did start to get going it won't go over 3000 revs and was spluttering and cutting out. So we took the unit off and had another look, put it back on and it was still doing the same. I have also tried resetting the ECU still no differnce.
Can anybody help please?

Hi folks.
Just bought this 99' Carisma 1.8 GDI Sport.
The display in the center panel in the dash dont work. The guy i bought the car from said its maybe a fuse or something.
But i looked at alle the fuses. In the engine bay and down in the panel at the feets at the drivers seat.
No fuses blown. I checked everyone of them to be sure.
But i cannot find and actually fuse for the display itself. I cant see any logo for it.
What do i do? Are there more fuses hiding somewhere?
I want it to work so i can see outdoor temperature, the clock and so on.
Thank you.

My central locking has ceased to lock the boot. It locks and unlocks the 4 doors fine but neither locks nor unlocks the boot.
HOWEVER, when locking the boot with the key via the boot's own lock, oddly, it will lock/unlock the boot as well as the doors.
What could be causing this?

Hi my mums 2002 1.9 Diesel Carisma is extremly sluggish, and has no acceleration at all, even with your foot flat to the floor.
Recently the car went into 'safe mode/limp home mode' and speaking to people we were told the replace the air flow meter. Which we did. This improved the performance greatly from what it was like in 'limp home mode' but the car is still extremely slow and un-responsive.
It went on a local mechanics diagnostic machine today and gave fault code: "DF094 Thermplunger relay memory open circuit / or short circuit to earth"
I'm not even really sure what the thermplunger is - can anyone confirm what it is and what it does (and whether it would be causing the symptoms)?
Also are there any other likely causes for this serious lack of power?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have recently bought a 1998 carisma GDI 1.8 GLX and was wondering if it should have remote central locking. I have to open and lock the door manually with the key and I am surprised that the central is not operated remotely.
I am now wondering if it does have remote central locking and the previous owner lost the key with the transmitter.
So, if you have a similar car does it have remote central locking?
If it does, can anyone recommend a 'cheap' key supplier?
Thanks.

Hi
I recently bought a 03 Carisma DID and am quite happy with it.
About 2 weeks ago I cleaned down the engine as there was wet oil in certain places including around the engine stop valve if thats the correct name located at the back of the engine. I removed the plastic and rubber hosing connected to this and there was a lot of oil residue within the pipe. Since cleaning the area around the stop valve seems clean and dry.
Question 1: is this normal oily film on the inside of this pipe or is it indication of something wrong?
Last week as i was driving home one of the hoses i had cleaned came off as i had not it tightened fully.The car startted lose power and i could see a lot of smoke in my mirror. I stopped, popped the bonnet and thightened i up again. Car seemed ok but now i notice she seems a little sluggish and thereto be a flat spot when accerating at low revs. Otherwise she is running great.
Question 2: What is the possible cause and can i do anything without going to a dealer?
Thanks
Shane

Hello chaps, although I've been browsing these forums for a while, this is my first post. I've got a 2001 Carisma Mirage (1.8 GDI) and the handbrake has gone considerably slack though it holds at the very top of its run. Reading these forums I thought I might try to tighten the adjuster screw but to get to it I need to remove the console around the handbrake. I have no idea how to go about this. Do I need to remove the screws up around the console head or is the console actually in separate parts? Is there a hidden release catch or is brute force required? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everybody.
I have a small problem with a Carisma Hatchback 1.5TD I bought this week. I've searched the forum, but couldn't find anything that could help me, maybe this way:
Both the LCD and the switch panel (electric mirror control switch, etc.) do not light up. I imagine the bulbs/leds (whichever) are dead.
Does anyone know the easiest/safest way to replace them? Specifically, I'd like to know how to get to them.
What kind of bulbs does it use, by the way.
By the way, if I change the original radio to a new one, how will it affect the display?
Thank you very much

First off Hi :
I have a 1997 Carisma 1.8 GLi ( SOHC 4G93 engine ? ).
1) Is the cam non interference on this model or am I looking at a meet of the valves and pistons if the cam belt fails ?
2) Has anyone ever replaced the rear drivers side ( UK Right hand drive ) brake pipe, the one that goes over the fuel tank ( bugger )

Many thanks for you help in advance.

After changing the turbo on my 2003 Carisma DiD I've finally fixed it and even remembered to plug the power brake servo in! (And now even my brakes work too!)
After disconnecting the wire that prevents my engine starting (to turn it over & get oil through the new turbo) I ended up with the engine management light glowing at me - how can I switch it off?
Do I have to go to my local (expensive) main dealer or is there a way I can switch it off myself? Anyone tell me how to?

What size is the copper washer for the sump plug on a Carisma 1.8 GDI (2001)?
So I can buy one in advance of doing an oil change. Thanks.

Hello all,I hope you can help before I go for the gallon of petrol and match approach!!I can't find the answer in previous posts.
I have a 03 Carisma DiD.
It is regularly stalling when I stop at junctions etc,but restarts first time until the next junction!Somedays are better than others,but it is a daily happening!Trip shows 29-31 mpg,which is obviously below the norm.I am also getting the engine management light on with the resulting 'run down' of the engine until I either stop or turn ignition on and off.The light then goes off and she runs as normal(until the next junction!!!)
My local deaqler didn't seem to know there a*** from their elbow,but did mutter on about the fuel pump at £1400!!I have heard rumour of the problem being related to the EGR valve.
Has anyone had similar problems and is there any advice you can give me?Apart from this,I love the car which is fully loaded!
Is it possible to blank the EGR valve (as I did on my previous Pajero?)
Many Thanks
Simon

My passenger side wing mirror has been stolen. Just the mirror and its built in heating element, not the whole assembly.
I want to try to get a replacement from a breaker.
My car is a 51 reg Carisma. Does anybody know if mirrors from any other year of model will fit mine?
Thanks.
