Just as I finished taking a test drive with the EVO9 syspension, I noticed that my upper radiator end-tank has a crack in it (got to love those plastic end-tank radiators default/rolleyes.gif' 'rolleyes.gif' /> ). So I now have to get a new one.

Hi, the door mirrors on my 94 rvr wont fold in or out , and cant be adjusted for rear view.
I have had the sw that sits in the centre consol near the gear shift out for a look, and gave it a blast of air , and the plug has only one terminal that is live, should there be more than one terminal live. Any help, electrics are not my forte.
Cheers Gerry

94 expo 2.4L, auto. Just had the water pump replaced and I don't think that is the problem, but the timing belt was removed during the process and it was placed back where it was found, or so they say. Now, I have a pop noise when I let the motor decelerate around 45 mph. I thought that it was the accerator cable was stucking and releasing with a pop, but the car has to be in gear to have...

My RVR 2.0 diesel gives what I think is very poor fuel economy. It returns only 22 mpg on a good daily country route.

I know its an auto and 4WD with air-con but I expect a 2.0 diesel to do better!

Anyone know what mpg to expect? or any ideas on how to improve it?

PS> Its a 4D68 engine.

I have a 93 Expo LRV, I know that it is 1.8L but after that there is not much I can say, other than I love this "mini-minivan." A week and a half ago, she just died. I was driving home and I turned a corner and she died, after letting her set for a bit she started back up and I was able to drive the few blocks home. The next morning I got up to go to the store and she wouldn't...

is there a way to bypass auto choke as mine still cuts in even though its 40 degree's here,there are four wires going into it,i dont really ever need it as it never drops below 16 here.,,,steve

The car can not be started and can not be tested by Autozone. Does anybody know how to read onboard diagnosis code by reading some the blink of some indicator(s)?

i went to open side door and handle broke,so only way at moment is to lean in and open from inside,has any one ever had to fit new one ,if so how..steve

oh well, no responses to my query of some weeks ago for info re: enhancing the expo. am i alone in fancying a evo-wannabe in the guise of a family mini-van?

does anyone out there know of the expo's ancestry? with what other mitsu's might it share chassis' and engines? is there any commonality between the 2.4 and 2.0 DOHC engines? can an intake or headers that fit the 2.0...

I need to replace the distributer cap and rotor on my mother-in laws RVR and I seem to have some problems sourcing. Trying to find in NZ they have listings for the cap but no rotor. It is also very expensive for what it is being approx $60US just for the cap. I've had a look on the US parts sites and there is a large range of prices and types of caps & rotors (link below). Can...

94 expo, 2.4l problem with water pump pulley wobble with noise. I cannot find any leaks. Pulley bolt tight against pump face. So, do I need a water pump? timing belt replaced 20,000 miles ago do I need another? and finally do I have to pull the motor to replace the water pump or can it be done in place?

It has been running great up until now. About a month ago we noticed a weird dash light. It kind of looks like a radiator and is orange. It doesn't stay on all the time. I've checked the coolant on several different occasions thinking that is what the light meant, but have not noticed any loss of coolant. Then earlier this week as I was turning into my driveway, it just stalled and I...

Good Day, i just discovered this Forum and took the time to browse through the different posts. First off, i'm a Mitsubishi RVR owner for the past 4 or so years. Its a Mitsubishi RVR 1995 Model, Automatic Transmission 2.0L Non Turbo engine. In that time period, the Automatic Transmission broke down 3 times. Why did My parents choose the Mitsubishi rvr as their vehicle of choice while searching...

I was driving my car a couple days ago in traffic and came to a stop and the engine died. I restarted it and from that time on it will not idle. It runs great with my foot in the accelerator and cruising but when i take my foot off the accelerator pedal it will die. I have looked at vacuum leaks, plugs, timing, TPS, MAS & Now the IAC ...Does anyone have any ideas...I thought about ECU next ?...

hi guys,

im after a bit of information on the differance between the 4G63 turbo motor out of the RVR, and the 4G63 in the evo 1-3s.

would i be right in assuming that the turbo would be smaller? and maybe smaller injectors? same computer?

any input is always appreciated

cheers guys

Bought an RVR about three months ago with rough running and idle issues, did the ecu fix (thanks to this forum) and traced the rough running to cylinder three and a slightly weak running cylinder four, checked spark, plugs, electrical feed to injectors, evenutally removed commom rail and injectors, full of a dark brown sludge. Started running rough yesterday, exactly the same sludge in the...

Guys,

I have made an introduction post in the main forum, but this is where I plant to spend most of my time on this forum.

I have ’93 Eagle Summit AWD (same as Mitsu Expo LRV) with a 5sp, which I plan to modify: improve the brakes, the suspension and install 300-400hp 4g63t engine.

So far, I have addressed the suspension: EVO9 struts/springs in the front and cut...

Alright, I need some wisdom. '94 Expo lrv 2.4 16v 4g64 broke a balance belt and it got wadded up causing the cam belt to tear and jump two teeth. I replaced the belts, and after I timed it, the valve train made a ticking noise. I assumed that valves were damaged. So I pulled the head and everything looks like new. There are no contact marks on the valves or the pistons. Could it be lash...

My '92 Expo LRV is my mothers vehicle and it dies while coming to a stoplight. But will immediately start back up when restarting. The past 2 summers it has done this, it never did it in the winter time not once. So please any suggestions will be appreciated.

So I'm tired of replacing transmissions on my '92 mitsubishi expo LRV 1.8L (4g93). So here is my question. Will any other manual transmission bolt up to a 4g93 motor like a dodge neon or something. This car is very practical for me and economical but the tranny doesn't last long. If not I'll probably go with a civic tranny and redo the bell housing to fit. Those trannys can...

According to the JPNZ Maunal for the 91-96 RVR, an automatic should only be towed with either 1) all 4 wheels on the ground or 2) front wheels on a dolly.
Is this right, surely with fronts on a dolly the center diff. is going to be wizzing round at a damaging rate? Have they translated it wrong?
If you have the book, it's on p. 138.

hi all

I have a 1992 Non-Turbo Petrol RVR. I have been having a few problems with it and have put it in to be fixed. The problems with it has been: the computer (causing some kind of resisitance), header leads, cam-timing, cam belt and tensioner.

The computer issue, header leads and cam timing have been sorted but my mechanic is having a...

Have been to Mitsubishi but they are very expensive ($17each) but the main problem is that they need to be ordered...

Newbie. Have just bought a 1995 Sports Gear TD in the UK. Got the JPNZ handbook but tyre pressures not specified! The label on the door is missing.
Could someone please post the loaded/unloaded pressures. Thanks. Zeb.

hello world.

Apologies for posting twice but PC crashed. my RVR has a terrible vibration at idle, below 1100 rpm. Anyone have a similar problem or is this normal?

I have been told to look at -
cambelt - stretched, jumped a sprocket or wrongly installed (timing marks out)
injector blocked on one cylinder
engine mounts broken

any ideas?

i have a 1830cc 1993 rvr,never had any problems,been great,till thermostat stuck and now have a leak which i think is coming from water pump,as the pump is connected to cam belt,i need to know how to remove and replace,as out here one do'es not trust the local labour,they tend to rob bits and tell you it needed this and that when it did'nt,if any one has manual would be grate full to...

My mother-in-laws 95 RVR 1.8 litre auto has always shifted a bit hard when cold and loose when hot. I'm planning to change out fluid first as this has never been done to my knowledge (108kms).

Can anyone tell me what AT fluid is recommended and if it requires a special Mitsi...

Hi all

I have recently purchased a 1992 Non-turbo Mitsubishi RVR-X. After a couple of weeks everything seemed to be going ok. That is until i put it in for a service. The mechanics removed the radiator to clean it and flush it. 2 days later after getting it back I noticed a pool of coolant on the ground under the car. I took it straight back to the mechanics and they found leak in one...
