Papercraft: Mitsubishi L200 Triton

Das novas picapes médias, a Mitsubishi L200 Triton certamente é uma das mais bonitas, fugindo um pouco do tradicional formato quadradão e "sem graça" das picapes tradicionais. Tanto a cabine quanto a caçamba, apresentam um desenho agradável e arredondado, sendo ao mesmo tempo agressivo. Para quem curte montar carros de papel, é um passatempo legal, basta ampliar a imagem acima, recortar e montar.

I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Magna, Auto, which has just started to judder under acceleration. The engine rev's fine, but I set off, the car judders, and lacks power. The problem stops after 15minutes, once everything is warm. Any idea's what it is?

Answer:

There are three things I would like for you to inspect first off. Ensure that the timing is correct and has not jumped, this will cause the judder you mention if it has jumped. Inspect the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. If you have clogged fuel lines and/or fuel filter it will cause a lack of power, especially at start up. Also inspect the vacuum lines and ensure they are free of any cracks, damage or loose connections.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X N-Spec by Ings

Japanese tuner Ings has released a front bumper and spoiler kit for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. The N-Spec Lancer Evo 10 CZ4A looks at a glance like many of the other over-sculpted front ends available from various tuners, but the large intake, curious upper-intake ram air inlet, canards, brake ducts and intercooler shrouds of the Ings bumper appear to have been track-tested. The kit will also include a Z-Power wing when it goes on sale in a few months.

Ings plans to offer the front bumper in fiberglass or a "hybrid aero" urethane-fiberglass blend.

There's not much information about the N-Spec Evo 10 at the Ings website, other than the specifications of the demonstration vehicle (which features brake and suspension modifications in addition to the body kit and Ings Sports 18-inch wheels, if you were curious), and pricing has not yet been released.

1998 Mitsubishi Diamante ES with Check Engine Light. Code is P1400

I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante ES with Check Engine Light. Code is P1400, no other codes. Replaced Manifold Pressure Sensor, cleared codes and re-tested. Light came back on. Check vacuum hoses, connections etc. All look good. Car does not pass following self test for emissions: heated o2 sensor, evap test, purge valve test, catalyst test. all these test show incomplete. Other tests pass. What could it be. Other possible tests and what does the code P1400 mean specifically for this car? Will include bonus if you can lead me to answer. Not a dead beat or negative feedback customer.

Answer:

That code is for DPFE circuit low input. The reason why the other monitors have not run, is because they are being blocked until the other repairs are made. So we need to check the passages for EGR to be cleaned and that the system is electrically working. It may be a defective computer as well or need to be re-flashed.

Where is the thermostat located on a 2001 Mitsubishi Spyder

Where is the thermostat located on a 2001 Mitsubishi Spyder GT 3.0 engine and can a Saturday mechanic replace one? Found the upper and lower hoses. Think the housing is at the end of the lower house on the engine, but not sure. It will probably be there because it is hard to get to.

Answer:

the thermostat will be located at the engine end of the upper hose at. They are a bit of work to replace but with a little time it should be doable.

PaperCraft: Mitsubishi FTO

O Mitsubishi FTO me faz lembrar bastante da primeira e segunda versões do Gran Turismo para Playstation I. Foram dois dos jogos de video-game que mais curti na minha adolescência. Não cheguei a jogar muito o PS2 e gerações posteriores, comecei a trabalhar, assumir responsabilidades e não ter muito tempo... Bom, voltando ao Gran Turismo, um dos carros que mais curtia era esse, o Mitsubishi FTO. Era muito bom para o início de 'carreira' no jogo, obrigatório na garagem do GT. Esse papercraft (miniatura de papel) do modelo japonês é bem detalhado, e pode ser bem divertido montá-lo. Créditos para o site Mitsubishi-FTO.org.

check engine light came on and a mechanic read the code and it came up P1400

QUESTION:
Recently my check engine light came on and a mechanic read the code and it came up P1400 which is the manifold differential pressure sensor circuit. I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant; does this need to be repaired by a Mitsubishi dealer or can I take it to any auto repair facility?

ANSWER:
P1400 is an MDP sensor. on turbo equipped engines a special sensor is used to measure manifold pressure (MDP=Manifold differential pressure)...or the difference between manifold pressure and barometric pressure. the engine controller has seen values outside of what is programmed normal and therefore set the code. manifold pressure sensing is critical to fuel management. if the sensor is remote mounted and has a hose going to it...check the hose for splits, holes, soft places that might collapse, kinks or anything else that might prevent the pressure signal from reaching the sensor. if it's not that simple...you may a have a failed sensor or engine controller. to sort that out you need to do some specific pinpoint testing using the trouble tree for that code plus a DVOM...at the very least.

Most auto mechanics would probably just change the sensor and send you on your way, after charging you a hefty fee for the part. If it were my car I'd check for vacuum leaks everywhere, including all devices that use vacuum (especially the ones going to the sensor). While it could be a bad sensor just the same, I have a suspicion that the code is giving you a symptom and the real problem might be a vacuum leak or valve cover gasket, etc.

Facelift no Mitsubishi Outlander

A Mitsubishi já está providenciando um face-lift para seu jipão Outlander, que certamente contará com novidades mecânicas. Na traseira, aparentemente, somente alguns detalhes mudarão. Destaque mesmo para a nova frente, que ganhará um aspecto bem agressivo, muito semelhante ao do novo Mitsubishi Lancer. É a identidade visual do momento na Mitsubishi, apesar de alguns acharem o Lancer feio. Eu acho muito bonito, particularmente o Evo X. Fotos Autowereld.com.

Question:
1995 Mitsubishi eclipse gs-t tried to connect with scan tool, no communication. car has OBD2 port and am using a MAC taskmaster with the latest updates.

Answer;
In most cases when a scanner will not communicate, it is due to a blown fuse. It is usually the cigar lighter/radio fuse but not limited to. Check and replace any bad fuse and it should work.

2008 Mitsubishi Concept-RA Concept

The Mitsubishi Concept-RA offers a unique interpretation of the sporty coupe. This two-seat pure coupe concept explores the transversely mounted, front engine packaging theme. Generous helpings of technology create a vehicle that combines exotic appeal, outstanding, fun-to-drive dynamics and heightened sensitivity for the environment.

Design

Developed as a technological showcase for Mitsubishi Motors, the Concept-RA displays athletic sport coupe proportions wrapped in dynamic flowing lines that provide a powerful and compelling showpiece for the car's advanced, high technology features. Broad, muscular wheel arches house 21-inch wheels and lend graphic expression to the high degree of road control and tenacious grip afforded by the next generation S-AWC system. Meanwhile, an exposed engine cover highlights the presence of the car's high output, efficient, clean diesel engine design. The Concept-RA's inverted-slant nose and trapezoidal grille fascia reinforce Mitsubishi Motors' new design identity, albeit suitably revised to reflect the concept's sporty coupe attributes.

Concept-RA's deep red exterior hue graphically accentuates the coupe's fluid, muscular body lines, and offsets a matte black engine hood that helps impart the vehicle's strong mechanical flavor. The interior has been developed to show a fusion of tradition with leading-edge touches. The cockpit's wraparound control layout uses minimal visual instrumentation and optimizes the switch and control layout. This reduces the driver's physical and mental workload, allowing full concentration on driving. The interior also makes extensive use of fine-quality natural materials in a design that delivers the utmost control, confidence, and vehicle involvement to the driver.

Mechanical

The Mitsubishi Concept-RA's Super-All Wheel Control driveline is a next generation all-wheel-drive system that adds Active Steering and Active Suspension control to the ACD1, AYC2, ASC3, and Sport ABS components that comprise the highly capable system used on the 2008 Lancer Evolution. Concept RA's S-AWC system integrally manages these components to realize advanced levels of control over drive torque, steering input, vehicle roll, and braking at each wheel, thereby raising traction, cornering and vehicle stability levels. Such capability affords Concept-RA intuitive, on-demand vehicle behavior that faithfully reflects driver intent by reacting instantly, under a variety of driving conditions, from everyday use to emergency avoidance situations.

Mitsubishi Concept-RA is powered by a new, high output, high-efficiency 2.2-liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve turbo diesel engine with MIVEC4. This clean diesel's MIVEC system incorporates valve lift control with low and high-speed cam profiles actuating the intake valves. A Piezoelectric injector, common-rail direct fuel injection system allows the engine to use of a lower static compression ratio. The new diesel showcases a VD/VG (Variable Diffuser / Variable Geometry) turbocharger whose internal vanes can control airflow over the turbine and compressor surfaces to produce optimum boost characteristics at all times. The efficient, low emissions diesel unit delivers a maximum output of 201 bhp and maximum torque of 310 lb-ft. For compliance with Tier 2 Bin 5 emission regulations in the United States, the clean diesel powerplant relies on a new catalytic converter system that combines a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), NOx trap catalyst (NTC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) technologies.

In an effort to reduce vehicle weight to improve fuel economy, vehicle performance and safety, Mitsubishi Concept-RA features a new, rigid body structure using an aluminum space frame made from extruded aluminum sections and die-cast aluminum components. In addition, the engine hood, fenders and other outer panels made from lightweight, impact-resistant and easily recyclable plastic resin.
