Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

you need to check fuel filter(s).
main line would be a quick fix,however may be the one in your tank.

Can you tell me what is the problem . the ride is rough
Now my car is backfiren, but the funny thing is that the firen order is off by 2 cylinders, the book says 1-4-2-5-3-6, but the way i have it is 1-2-4-5-3-6 and it seems to run a lot better then the way the book says, the book way gives me Poor Accel, Backfire, and somewhat hard to start, but my way the car will not backfire "as much" but starts Quicker, and a whole lot better Accel. Can someone plz help me, iv been worken on this problem for 2 months now, so i really need your help, tell me what i should do, or what could be the problem, Could it be my valves. some kind of sensiour, why dose it run better with a messed up firing order.

Thanks Steve
Just my two cents.

money just getting out of the service. But the car is fast and beautiful. How fast can you go now days on our busy highways anyway! And i have spent alot of money in just replacing new parts, some of which it didn't need and were easy
to get to the engine. But i think at this day and age it would be best for
someone with a limited amount of money to buy new with a warrenty.
But if he still does want to convert his old with a blown engine to twin turbo.
For get it. Lots of money. My car is the way to go.I have already spent the money.
I have been a little obsessed with my car also, but it is time to let it go too someoneelse.

You're looking at a lot of money unless you know how to do these mods yourself---even then you have a lot of conversions and special fitting to do.
Seems to me he could just go buy a nice Stealth TT for $10,000 bucks and probably end up with a better car for less money.
But i am the only owner, and it is a great car. But before i sell it or try to sell it i
want it right for the next person. I still have a little problem and is giving me a fit trying to figure it out. I have asked for help on this forum but no answer, but have looked back at some of the other same problems that i am having and have done everything they have said it could posibble be. Just my luck none of the above. But when i do fine the problem you can be sure that i will tell it on the forum.
Not difficult to change, and this thing is responsible for most non-necessary ECU replacements.
Hope this is your problem and I'm not too late getting to you.
ISC. ALso i have put the 2- 0/2 sensers on / fuel regulator/ starting heat senser/
Mass air flow senser/ all new injectors/ fuel filter/ I have checked for fuel pump preasure. I am taking it back in to a new shop today maybe for the last time. And if we do figure this thing out i will let everyone no.
If you have anymore idea's, i will surely try them.
Thanks for you help, it is most appreciated
Well it all depends on how much you like your car and how much you want to spent on repairs. Because with the millege it has on it now is when the problems start, believe it or not. I myself must be nuts too have spent what i have these two years ,and still have not found the problem. I now bought myself a repair book and started to study. And also have been spending alot of time on the internet. Believe it or not there's alot of information out there. I have been now buying one part at a time hoping to fix the problem. None of the garages i have been to could help. Tomorrow i am putting on the crank angle senser. After that i don't no what i will do.
Maybe give up. Here is the part number. if you google it the part it will come up and will led you to more information."MD153464" As as for the car and what to do. if you love it and have the time and money for repairs keep it. If not sell it to someone who won't mind the repair cost and down time. Hope this helps. KEEP THE FAITH
to recover the front seats only. What i finally had to do was to buy the auto repair books. "Mybooks.com" they were about $96.00
Also just my googling in the part number a whole bunch of other information sometimes comes up. I was really supprised.sorry i can't help
If you are having a problem with your anti brake it might be as simple as taking the senser out and wiping it off. It is behind the brake disc. Or it could be your throttle position senser. $120.00. you can put it on yourself. I went on line and ordered the repair manual from" Books.com" for about $95.00. If nothing else you gain a tremendous amount of knowledge. Also i have found a site ( Jeff Lucius)
This site is unreal! Also I have been able to get most of my parts still from the The
Mitsubishi dealers. Also google part number MD614405 it might show you the sensor. Let me no what you come up with about your problem. Here is my e-mail address [email protected] Maybe we can both pick each others brain
About your problem with the throttle seeming to sick. As i told you in the last e-mail, mine has been doing the same thing. I replaced my driver side abs senser because they told me it was bad. Now this was about 4 years ago when i paid them 100.00 to tell me the problem. I didn't have time to mess with the car because of work. So now that i have the time to work on the car this is what i am doing. I bought the senser, tested it before i put it on the car, it tested good. I remover the old one today, tested it and it tested good also. GREAT!!!!!!!!! There goes another $100.00 for wrong information. BUT! I did buy the relay fuse the same time. I read about this in the book that i bought. But in the mean time i put the new sensor on and it didn't fix the problem. So i said well I'll put this $30.00 relay in. And so far the abs light doesn't come and the idol problem went away. I took it on a long test drive and so far so good. KNOCK ON WOOD. I'll believe it, if it stays fixed for a week. So this is what you do. Replace the relay fuse. it is under the hood. as you face the engine it is on your left, in the front in that big fuse box. Looking at the fuse box it will be the roll of fuses on your right, second one up. Also it is in your owners manuel. Here is the part number 8627A011 it looks different than the old one but it is the same. Let me know if it works for you
trouble shooting it has to give. It could even be the computer. Injectors; is another one. Check all vacuum lines , look very close and try and fine them all, and look for wear and tear. coils, plugs and wires, But first just go and have the problem checked. NOW; some times diagnosing doesn't always show the problem. It gets very flustrating. another is Idea speed controll servo, your mass air flow sensor. See the list go on. so have it checked first. I hope this helps. heres my e-mail address [email protected]. PS I am still trying to fine a very difficult issue with mine. It runs great. If i ever figure it out i will be a hero!!!!!!!!! But now i am taking a break from it.
corrosion on the plug wires and inside the coils. As for the clutch there are so many parts. I have looked it up and can't find a specific cause. But check the easies first.. There is a check VALVE under the hood. Looking at the engine on the driver side toward the back next to the power steering reservor. See if it is moving freely It is inside the vacume hose.
Not much help but a start. As for the book. "Books 4 Cars $93.90 I can't fine the phone number, but i looked on line. They are out of Seattle Washington
Phone number=1-206-721-3077
Hey, it looks amazing in my driveway even if it doesn't run.
I like your attitude.
