Hello, I have a pajero gdi 3500 v6. The car is cutting off below 1000 rpm and the panel is showing 2 lights:the battery one and one write A/T, that I dont know what means. I have changed the alternator and the battery but the problem persists. If I accelerate above 1000 rpm, the car works perfectly. Can someone help me?

Hi, an intermittent poor idle can be caused by certain valves that are perhaps not always closing properly. Three valves I would check are the EGR, purge, and idle air control valve. The EGR valve can get dirty and start to jam. The purge valve sometimes gets charcoal coming thru the line from the vapor cannister, and the charcoal can hold the valve open when it's supposed to be closed. The idle air control valve is the valve that is supposed to control your idle. If it is not opening properly, the car will not idle right. I explain a lot of this in the following post: http://www.fixya.com/cars/r7427423-fix_poor_idle_high_idle_stalling_fuel

On your car, I am not sure which emission controls are installed. If you have evaporative emission laws, you will have a vapor cannister somewhere in the engine compartment. I believe the purge valve is atop the cannister on the Pajero. Pull the hose off to see if there is charcoal in it. Also look inside the valve where you pulled the hose off to see if it is closed.
There are pictures below of the idle air control valve and the EGR valve. The idle air control valve is mounted on the throttle body, near where the cables from the accelerator pedal attach to the engine. Take the valve off and see if it needs cleaning. Also clean out the passages in the throttle body. Use carburetor cleaner to clean these parts. Also clean out the inside throttle body, if dirty.
Finally, if these valves seemed to be OK, take off the EGR valve and clean it out. Make sure it closes by default. If not, replace it. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

GDI Engine Complaints Often Mysterious Hard to Resolve

all i know is that the inlet ports can carbon up
and need to be inspected and de carboned

GDI engine concerns:

Higher cylinder temperatures and pressures released into the crankcase accelerate oil vaporization. Eventually this causes oil droplets to coat intake valves.
Cylinder injector spray position means fresh fuel is not sprayed onto intake valves and flush away vapor build up. This build up can accumulate and bake on intake valves in as little as 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
Rings can become stuck into their lands by carbonized oil sludge. This can prevent these engine’s low-tension rings from properly sealing the piston. This also causes sludge, oil, and fuel deposits to bake onto piston tops.
Since inception, GDI engines have had known problems with coking—buildup of cooked fuel deposits that foul injectors.

I have a pajero 3500 gdi 1997 model, that is light engine check in dashboard and can't accelerate more than 3000 rpm.

ECU has logged an error code. YOu need to read it out with a tester and then fix the reported problem or clear the error code.
ECU goes to safe mode with reduced power if certain errors are logged.

Pajero GDI 3500 with rotation going below 500 rpm and car cuts off

Your car has a bad ground or electrical connection. With electricity especially in cars and more so the older they get. Start at battery and work your way to the end of all ground wires first. Many times i have seen the battery terminals cleaned at battery to terminal connection but the wire to terminal connection are worn or.dirty.look at all.ground from engine to body they often corrode or melt as they are braided aluminum. If all else fails your low idle speed is a vacuum leak listen for a hiss when engine is.running or if u.can seal.the air intake and exhaust pipe.and use compressor to pump air into engine through a vacuum line on intake.manifold keep it.under
