Hi,

I tried checking the fuel pressure on a RVR 94 4G63 non-turbo engine. When I started the car it seems the pressure are normal around 40psi (~38 psi based on manual). I tried the procedures in the service manual, removing vacuum lines from Fuel pressure regulator gives around 47 psi. I cant determine if the fuel return hose has pressure in it.

The only thing I noticed is that when I turned off the engine, the pressure gradually drops. Although it does not drop that fast that it is still in ~38 psi after 2 mins. However, after leaving it for about an hour, the pressure drops to almost zero. Is this normal? Also, starting seems not a problem just need to crank it for at least 3 seconds. I still need to observe from cold start though since this is my first time to connect a fuel pressure guage.

HI
Ive just attempted a replacement of a cam belt , water pump and all idlers tensioners on a 20,lt DOHC 1996 4G63 rvr without any manual ?? ( errr) , i also replaced balancer shaft belt and tensioner.
I was a bit stumped with the cam belt tensioner ? ive guessed you pretension the belt with the concentric idler /tension wheel , tighten its bolt ,then remove the pin on the tensioner ??? i couldnt quite figure how or why the 2 tensions ?
My problem is after what i thought was a carefull job i have vibration i didnt have before ? im pretty sure i aligned all marks and wheels correctly ?
It may be when i removed the engine mount and let engine down a bit it may have messed up other engine mounts ??
apart from that it goes better than ever , just vibrates more ??
Has anyone correct details for doing cambelt job and how to tension belt correctly , also balancer shaft details .

worried i will have to do it all again , cheers
Richy

so is a 1996 RVR sports hatch permanent AWD , 4 WD ?? what is the switch A/T on the centre consule ?? and what is the "HOLD" lamp telling me ??
exscuse the spelling , i didnt check .LOL
cheers

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). I added some friction modifiers last year and it helped for a short time but it soon went back to where it was before. Can anyone tell me what AT fluid is recommended and if it requires a special Mitsi type like my 97 Pajero? Is it essential to flush tranny when doing?

Any other recomendations would be useful from those owners who have experienced problems with their auto. I've never worked on this yet but all else is going well (eco/powr/hold & overdrive settings). Is there a filter to clean/change and any other maint required with the tranny?

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.

what are the common indications of a bad or spent tranny fluid?

I need help here. I have a 1994 Expo Lrv with a 2.4L auto in it. 131,000 mi on it. It will sometimes stall when you roll to a stop or when you shift to drive or reverse from neutral or park regardless of temperature. It doesn't always do it. If I keep the throttle valve off the stop and bump it into neutral coming to a stop it will idle normally. It only does it in gear with the throttle closed. I have held the throttle slightly open thinking it might simply need an adjustment but it stalls off the stop as well. So I don't want to mess with the idle air or fixed idle adjustments. I have the factory manuals for these cars and have four of them. I need a tech here because I don't know what else to do. I've overhauled the transmission, replacing the torque converter and swapped out the entire valve body including the solenoids so the trans shouldn't be causing it. The coolant temp and vehicle speed sensors are okay. I've swapped out the map sensor with no change. I've swapped out the throttle body including the tps and iac with no change. I've blocked off the vacuum ports at the manifold so it's not a vacuum leak. I've swapped the fuel rail, injectors and regulator no change. I've swapped the fuel pump no change. Swapped engine and trans ecu's no change. Swapped the shifter position switch on the transmission no change. Swapped the distributor (cam and crank sensors, ignitor) and wires no change. I've swapped the egr and egr temp sensor and the car isn't showing any codes. Everything is stock and everything looks normal. The car runs fine until it stalls. Off idle it runs great going down the highway. No smoke or noises. My wife says it started doing it after she filled the gas tank. I've visually inspected the tank when I had the pump out and there's no contamination or water in it. I've run that tank out and have since filled it back but it's still doing it. I've followed the schematic and checked what I thought was everything it could be. I've even swapped out the iac motors by themselves just in case but it still stalled. Now I'm starting to repeat things I've already done. I may be missing something obvious but this thing is really kicking my butt. Thanks in advance for any help.

i have a rvr 96 auto x2. does this car have a light in the dashboard that would tell me that i need to change my cambelt? if there is, where can i find it

what does the 2 and L in the throttle mean and whats are its uses.

Hi I am new here and living here in Japan. I have a 1994 RVR and do not understand all the warning light on my dash. I have one that looks like a tank and has a liquid in it and it light up last night here, To hard to check under the hood it has been snowing here for 4 days now.Is there an english book out there for this car?

i have a problem w/ my RVR. when i switch on my OD then step on the brakes to stop it makes a loud thud. but when i turn off the OD it doesnt make that sound. what could be the problem. i suspect the gearbox but im not to sure? pleasssssssssse help. any ideas?

can anyone tell me where i can find the fuel filter for my RVR 96 x2. cheerssss

I have a question to any RVR turbo owners:

1. What style hub does your wagon have (4 or 5 studs)?
2. Did it ever come with rear limited slip differential (LSD)?
3. Do you know of any company that offers stiffer rear springs?

Thanks,

Hi, I have just done the Cam- belt balance shaft belt and the tensioners and idlers, and water/pump. I'm absolutley Knackered. What a lot of work to replace all these bits, half the time on your back and the other half stood over the wing.
This was all done over yesterday and this morning, on my 1994 RVR twin cam 4g63. I'm now 60, and found it very strenuous on my old body, I would think this will be my last major job on these more ( by my take on cars) modern cars, I'll stick with fixing up my 69 Fiat 850 coupe and my Lancia Gamma from now on.Theres a hell of a lot more room to work on these oldies than the RVR.
Anyway if your young in the body and have a good selection of tools and know your way around cars, hopefully like me you will get lots of satisfaction from doing the job well. After it was all back together, turned the key and she started up first turn. I just googled 4g63 cam belt replacement, to get a couple of helpfull sites.


Cheers Gerry

gday every1 im a new member that may be buying an rvr. i also own a jza70 supra and i was just wondering what sorta decent boost that you can put threw a bog stock rvr? any help would be great thanks.

Hi all!

Somebody have new RVR at this forum??? N73W or N74W?
Or N23W only?
I have some question about this car.

Glad for help!

I have a rvr x with a 4G63 engine in it lately there is a noise like top end so all i do is not runing it cold over or close to3000 revs ones it is warm 2000 the oil pressure light is not coming on or flicking it is on when i start the engine im not so familiar with this motor so pls help

just bought a 94 expo lrv.it has 95,000 miles and i don't know the history. i really like it and i'm on the road alot.thanks for any help...taz...

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 have not been able to restart it. A friend said to check the battery, its fine. Could it have something to do with the weird light? What should I try next? Thanks in advance.

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 someone advise on what they would recommend for me and another model which would fit (ie Eclipse)?

95 RVR/auto with 106,000kms on clock

Thanks in advance,

Jim

just followed your advice and took my cap off and cleaned rotor arm and inside of cap,mine still has sticker on distributer from mitsu..T6T57671 A,and underneath 204 UA,dont know if its of any use to anybody when trying to get bits,1995 1800cc,
small point under brake servo next to fuel filter there is a round plastic canister with a pipe from manifold going to it,what is it,as im going to replace my fuel filter and could do that at same time if it needs swopping,on a lighter note,its cold in new zealand then,i will swap you its 45 here.

The problem is that sometimes you can turn the key and car starts right up, sometimes there is a delay, and finally some times nothing. If I reset the key and try again start the car again, I have the same chances. It hasn't failed completely yet and I like to figure it out before it does.

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 the noise happen. The car runs great except for the " small pop". The noise will be delayed when I am decelerated going faster than 45mph by a second or two. It sounds like a small valve or door closing . nothing loud just something you notice. It even sounds like a single pop while staring the motor, but not when it idles or is out of gear. could the timing be incorrect. While driving the noise sounds like it come from in front of the driver. The noise sounds like a small, small backfire in the injection system. Can anyone help me find the pop?

Hello, I have noticed my car got a replacement tranny with the model number W5M33-2-MMZL and I need to know if its the correct final drive gear for my 1998 GSX Eclipse cause I belive that my cars center diff is going to blow.



Please help me!



Thanks

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 ). So I now have to get a new one.

I do not want to get a regular radiator out of the autoparts store. So I am wondering what are some of the other options? Has anyone ran Koyo radiator? I only found it from just one vendor on Ebay and that conserns me because it might be an incorrected listed item.

Has anyone used other brands? What about adapting radiator from other cars? Perhaps from EVO? In case you haven't noticed, I like to "borrow" upgraded parts from other cars.

Wont start, fuel pump does not appear to stay on - we've tried several different fuel pumps, one new, tested power at pump showing 3 volts at run postision, 9 volts attempting to start....

Any ideas?

Does anyone out there know how to set the clock in a 1998 RVR? Its in japonese and has me utterly stumped.

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

96 RVR Turbo Diesel 2.0Lt Brisbane

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 start. She would turn over but wouldn't catch, so I called my mechanic and he discovered that she had no spark and a part of the distributor was bad. Well unfortunately you can't just by parts for the distributor you have to buy the whole distributor. So we did that, and she was running fine. She was having some issues with dying when I would come to a stopsign/stoplight but after he adjusted the timing belt it didn't do that anymore.
Unfortunately, now she seems to be having the same problem. My mechanic checked the distributor and it is fine, but she still won't start. When she first died this week I would hear a clicking noise when I would go to start, but I bought the car used and have no Owner's Manual and my mechanic is not familiar with working on a car of this type. I need my car and don't know what else to check. Any help is greatly appreciated.

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 (that's all i see in the hot parts adds in the tuner mags) also fit the old 2.4?

aren't there any experts out there who can help?

Hi,
I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Expo (Eagle Summit DL). The window has come off of its track will not roll down. Without a functioning air conditioner, this becomes quite a problem.
My trouble is that I can't figure out how to remove the door locking stem it order to get the interior door panel off. In every other one I've seen, the stem is round and just unscrews. This one is rectangular and cannot be unscrewed. Any ideas?
Thanks

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?

high jim and gang,just to let you know im back from dear old blighty,bought some bits while i was there,front brake pads for 1800 rvr same as galant,and was told a lot of stuff is,galant with a different body shell,over in south cyprus they seem to have most misubishi parts as they have been selling them for many years. look forward to getting back in the swing of things with you guys....steve

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 ?

Regards,
Rob

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

Hi where do the uk members get there insurance???? having trouble getting a price for a 2.0td RvR sports Gear

please help


Dave

have a 95 RVR Sportsgear.just had the transmission rebuilt.problem is went to reverse, wouldnt go backwards only forwards, & was coughing & spluttering.Any ideas what it might be?

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 injectors.

Run injector cleaner through last time, before I start the long trek from injectors back to tank, anyone else had this problem or know how to sort it?.

Cheers

Dave

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 stock springs/EVO shocks in the rear. To add some much needed support, I am planning on adding strut tower bars. I know that 2G DSM bar fits in the rear, but does anyone know if the Lancer bar fits in the front?

I am also doing some interior enhancements:

- I am getting rid of those annoying mechanical seat bents (this effects 92-94 US models, in 95 they went to the manual belts/air bag combination).

- Shortened the gear shifter (stock shifter is way too long!) and stiffened-up the shifter base.

- Converted to the 1G DSM, leather covered steering wheel.

- Plus, being an older car, it needs numerous little tweaks and fixes (flaky ignition switch, bad lock cylinders, non working power locks and missing weather stripping).

I was to going to raid the local junk yards, which have plenty of these van, but instead, I got an opportunity to pick-up a parts car (’95 Summit AWD). So I have been lucky enough to have a spare car at my disposal, which is a HUGE benefit when working on a car!!!

Anyway, I am planning on keeping as many spare parts from this car as reasonable (engine/tranny/ rear end), and one of my friends, who also owns one of these vans, will come by to take a bunch of parts, but the rest will go to the junk yard.

So if anyone needs anything in the next couple of weeks let me know and I will part with it for not much money. Naturally, I prefer to deal with locals, but I will ship things (at your expense) as long they can be packaged-up and fit with-in UPS Ground limits.

Hi to ALL,i'm looking for a bracket the one that is just above the tail pipe (exhaust) on the passenger side.I need to fit a towbar and apparently this bracket becomes part of it.The driver side is in situ,but passenger side in missing due to bigger tail pipe mod being fitted before i got it.Can anyone assist please,i'm in the UK.Apparently the pasenger side bracket on the Space runner is the same,but driver side is different. PS these brackets are bolt on. Included pic of what it looks like,many thanks.[attachmentid=6715]

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 adjusters? How do I know which one or one's are noisy? The noise doesn't go away with RPM's like I would expect it to if it were lifters. What do I need to do here to find the noise? I have another head I can use but I don't want to replace this one if it's usable. Anyone had a similar experience? Would you run this head making noise? Thanks in advance.

can anyone tell me where the jacking points are on a 91 rvr....and what kind of jack do i need? and where does the jack live? many thanks in anticipation

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.

The car has about 140k miles on it. Check engine light isn't on, it runs fine when it is running. Has anyone else had this issue? HELP

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 take a beating. Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!

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

desperately need some help

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 hard time in trying to find the right cam belt and tensioner. He has had a couple brought in but they did not fit.

does anyone know where I might be able to find these part in Australia. Preferably in Brisbane if possible.
