Intermittent problem starting with key. Manual ****** so you can push start it. After that it'll start w/the key 4-5 times and then won't start w/key. Push start again and you get 4-5 more key starts. Replaced the starter and problem still exists. Could it be a starter relay or ????
When you start the Lancer, does it actually turn over and start? Or does it sputter while you're pressing the start button?
This is what I would start with. First, I'd find your fuel regulator and follow the vacuum line that leads to the engine - then unplug that. Find some extra tubing or rag that you can replace that plug with to keep it sealed. Then, if you're car starts running, you'll know its just a bad regulator.
If that doesnt work, the second thing I'd try is pulling off the air-intake and spray some brake cleaner in there to see if it will start. If that works, then you have a fuel leak or clog somewhere thats preventing your fuel from reaching the sparkplugs.
Hope this helps-

It may or may not have the information you are looking for, but there is a Chiltons repair manual for all Mitsubishi and Toyota models from 2001 to 2005. It is available new for about $90 or it is generally available on Amazon used for under $20.

ok your fuel filter is located under the car on driver side about half way back......you will need to remove the fuel line from both sides of it witch is a 14mm wrench if im not mistaking....then you will have to loosen up the holder that its in witch is a 10mm wrench...then it should slide right out....if u have any questions just post it
