    Haven't had any newer Mitsubishis but had a few older models and all were suuuuuper reliable. Their vans and pickups especially, were right up there with Toyota. Here in New Zealand it was hard to find a second hand one because people would own them until they drove the wheels off!

    Owned a year two "Eclipse" clone (Eagle Talon 2.0L) back in the day. Beautiful, fast, never a problem over the years. Until it got rear ended while stopped at a traffic light by a K car wagon driver whose "rear end fell off" after he got new springs and shocks put on it. He had insurance but no licence.

    Customer got a good deal there. It's hardly the mechanics fault when malfunctioning system is masking an underlying weakness i.e. coolant system pressure comes back online and the upper rad. tank fails. I know we live in the real world and it can be hard for customers to understand that they need to step up and pay for repairs like this but in this case the work and diag was pretty faultless-different story if a bad call was made or a part was accidentally damaged.

    I had one of these and I loved it. All the dashes are like that! Another problem I had was the rear valve cover would not stop leaking oil. I tried to put on a new gasket and found that the used car place used a tube of red RTV and over-tightened the bolts crushing the valve cover. Never could get it to stop leaking. Traded it back in. Mainly because the back end gets squirrely around 120 :)

    It’s always a tough sell when the customers car breaks in the service drive. I remember trying to convince one customer who was waiting while I serviced their car that their battery failed and needs replaced. I don’t think they ever believed me:( I never tried to fix a stuck solenoid valve either. Will have to try if I get in a bind.

    That seems to be the weak spot in this kind of radiators. My old Mazda started blowing steam from that place, in traffic lights it looked like the engine room is on fire :D Fixed by replacing the radiator.
    Later, in one very cold winter, my Nissan radiator had a small leak from the same place, the seam between the radiator core and the plastic top tank. I carefully tightened with pliers those metal clips that hold the top plastic tank and it seemed to fix it, no parts required :D
    But of course, those clips are aluminium I guess and might snap very easily, then the only fix is replacing the radiator anyway.

    I can understand the owner having a play with the throttle stop adjustment, but i would have checked the state of the throttle butterfly first for caked on muck. (my mates old Beat-My-Wallet was really bad.)
    I would have still failed with the mitsubishi but it's easy enough to check.

    Any time you have a weak pressure cap, you have to expect some or all other parts of the system to fail once you put pressure back. That is how it always is. If you don't have the time or money to deal with more issues, don't go fixing the first issue.

    Freaky how coincidence comes along....Got a driveability diag. to look at on a very similar one tomorrow morning...pre-obd2 - TH/KH Magna/Verada 3.5L/6G74, similar to an Eclipse I think, but we're about 10 years behind (2005-->) in catching up to obd2 standards...no flash codes stored and no accessible live data...gotta go old school on this one🤔
    Apparently it only plays up after it warms up, ok at Idle and full throttle, but struggles in the low-mid range....I'll definately check for vac. leaks + EGR probs, and TPS settings etc, but I'm thinking it might be an open loop issue..eg. maybe no 02 sensor function to go into C.L.
    It could be so many things...ignition issue, MAF, VSS, CTS, ECM, etc etc...wish me luck, it might turn into a good one🤣👍🇦🇺

    Back in seventies we would mess with carb adjustments. But don’t on modern cars. I didn’t know you could even do it. On my 2015 Jeep didn’t have any screws I ever noticed. My 2007 Chevy Silverado idle messed up and was EVAC fault.

    • @pilskadden
      @pilskadden 4 роки тому

      On some pre drive by wire cars, you can set a base idle speed with an adjustment screw. Typically you need to bridge a wire in the diagnostic socket to tell the ECU that you are performing base idle adjustment so it won’t intervene. When done you remove the wire and the ECU takes over idle control. It should never be used to fix other idle problems, since it may cause all kinds of drivability problems or stalling.

    Hello Ivan! I watch you all the time and was hoping you could shed some light on an issue i'm having with my 2000 Nissan Xterra. When it is cold, it runs ok and the idle is normal around 750. When it warms up, I get an OL-Fault on FUELSYSA and FUELSYSB is in CL and the idle drops to 500 but doesn't stall out. I had a bad downstream O2 sensor on bank 2 which I replaced with a new one. I checked my fuel pump pressure right after the fuel filter and it was inline with factory specs with key on and when running at idle. When this happens, I'm not getting any DTC's at all. Could this be my EGR or PCV acting up? The intake vacuum at normal idle sits at 7.97in/hg according to the scan tool i'm using. If I increase rpm's the vacuum drops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      If the broken piece was not there, where could it be? Nowhere else for it to go in the system, pretty impossible to fish out. You could then reasonably deduce that it was removed on purpose when the cap was off the radiator by previous owner or shop to mask the cracked radiator top tank.

    If the vacuum switching valve you replaced was restricted, which with the tests you performed it was made clear that it was, then how come when you initially tested the solenoid before researching how the system works it held vacuum and released it with battery voltage disconnected? Since it was restricted, wouldn’t the solenoid have not been able to leak out the vacuum during the initial test?
