Hi There

Can you help me with this problem?

Last year i exported a 1997 Pajero 3.5L Petrol GDI from Japan to Bolivia.
Why? For us to use when we visit family.

On arrival of the Pajero in Bolivia it was transformed to left hand drive.

It was working ok for a while but developed the following problem:

The Pajero starts fine and idles normal, but when driving it cannot drive over 30kph or pass over 2000 rpm. When pressing the accelorator lightly it gives spurts of power like something is opening and closing. If you press the accelortor harder it doesnt give anymore power and sometimes stalls.

I have taken the Pajero to many mechanics over there 5 in total but they cant find anything wrong.

It has been on the diagnosis machine but know one can issolate the problem.
One mechanic took the fuel pump out and placed in another GDI Pajero and it worked fine.

I am back in New Zealand now and am trying to find some info here about a solution to send back there.

Hey mate,
Not sure if this will help, but i know that the valves get coated in hard carbon, and that causes alot of problems!! My first thoughts were a fuel supply problem, maybe in the fuel pump relay? Do you know if there is a continuous 11 volts runnng to the pump?
Hope this is of some help?

Thanks for your reply
When the Pajero arrived the fuel tank was dry, so my father in law filled it and it started ok. After then it had problems, so he had the pump in the tank replaced (no original but a copied one) and it ran well for a while. i dont know about voltage, i will have to ask.

Any idea how you clean the carbon from the valves? it could be this as each mechanic cant find a problem even when connected to the diagnosis machine thingy.
