I have a 1999 mitsubishi chariot gdi. the problem is it starts but cuts out within 10 second start. my mechanic cant find the problem to fix it. The car is also running to rich & the spark plugs keep going black. The mechanic scaned the computer & only the airflow meter 7 the throtle body came up but that has all been checkd & those parts are fine. Can you help me solve my car problem. thanks. cheers!
Hi, I have a Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis Exceed 1998 (4g64) and recently changed the engine. Prior to changing the engine the car had a shudder when driving approximately 70kmph. This appears to be caused by some sort of misfire as one can see the ref counter dropping and picking up slowly. After changing the engine I still have exactly the same problem which tells me it is not the engine. I took it in and they tested it with one of those plug in machines but to no avail as it did not pick up any faults. Due to the slight drop of the needle prior to the car shuddering, I cleaned out the injectors but this does not appear to be a part of the problem. This usually occurs more often when the engine is warmer and not when one start up and drive. Any ideas what can cause this?
My 1999 Grandis shuddered at particular speeds like 52 or 97km...no one knew why...I did a bit of research and concluded it was a build up of automatic transmission fluid on the drum or something...with a clean and change of fluid the shudder has gone. This is an ongoing problem though and will build up again! At least you now know you are not crazy!!
Hi Guys.
I have a Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis 1998 GDI and I also am having the same problem.
I have read Audrey981 comments and sounds like it could be worth a try.
Two questions, the first is, Ballas2, did you try cleaning the drum and changing the gearbox oil? And if yes did it work for you?
And the second question is foe Audrey981, What drum and how do you clean the drum?
Appreciate any help.
hi ,I have 1998 Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis GDI, problem is when the motor is cold the car works, when motor will hot(the water temperature does not advance more than 90 ) tchec will connect and motor stops to work and after that computer does not enter in the motor , PC Pc do' not show the problem of car.when the motor is cold PC enters in the motor and it show that is not problem...my machanics do'not know wat is it problem...help me thanks...

Looking at the valve mechanism of most mitsubishi, they are hydraulically adjusted by engine oil pressure. Running temperature has a significant role as the engine. Observing the nature of your problem it has to do with temperature rise of engine oil and viscosity of oil is affected, therefore check the following:1. engine oil pressure- maybe oil pressure drops to an extent that it cannot offer proper actuation of the valve adjusters, 2. engine oil filter- too much restriction, 3. sticking valves or adjusters due to temperature rise hence rendering valves not closing or opening as per required in performance, 4.try to swap ECU with a similar engine. 5. grade of oil, 6. oil pump performance.
Mostly important start with the least difficult repair procedures to more complicated ones. Am so sure that problem has to do with temperature rise of the engine and engine operations are affected causing it to stall.
Also check sensors that sends informs to ECU, e.g oxygen sensors in the exhaust system, maybe they are sending a wrong signal to ECU such that the ECU 'leans' the air/fuel mixture into the engine to an extent that is cannot burn as required hence stalling.
owen , thank you very much for your advice

10 second means fuel system shut down because of one or another sensors reading below or out of range most likely oil pressure but could be other things

i have the same problem
Please monitor the current or voltage output from the charging alternator as well, using appropriate measuring meter e.g voltmeter or ohmmeter.
can you test the control module injection
