Yes, you need to simply service the throttle sensor. If it contains lot of soot or carbon, it will have such power loss and a grinding noise.

I most certainly would not advise you instruct your mechanic to short out your battery terminals! You could possibly fry your computer and alternator, plus other sensitive electronics! As a matter of fact, any half skilled mechanic, half worth his or her salt, would refuse such an instruction at the very first instance, correct!

My Mitsubishi Space Wagon is a 98 model. I have used it for 5 months. Now experiencing HESITATION when using the throttle instead of increasing the speed. I have changed the fuel pump and serviced the injector nozzles, but no improvement. What do you think is wrong?

Hello friends. I work and live in Nigeria. I have owned a Mitsubishi GDi Space Wagon 1999/2000 since 2012. Recently as I was driving the engine suddenly stopped. The local mechanics fiddled with it until the engine started again. Now the problem is that one of the ignition coils (no 4) heats up and burns when the engine is running. As a result of this I no longer use my favorite Space Wagon. Please can someone help me with the solution.

Thanking you all, Lawson Enugu, Nigeria.

Good morning sir/madam. I've got problem with my Mitsubishi Space Wagon 2002 model. Robbers came to my house and took my car's key, but now my car cannot move or start again. Engineers said I should change the brain box.

Can you help me get a brain box?

Thanks taofeek from Ijebu Igbo Ogun states Nigeria.

Maybe a good start to clean out carbon from the throttle assembly.

Sounds like it's in limp mode. Plug in a cheap scanner to lead you to the trouble code. Could be a sensor gone bad.

They are very temperamental. Diagnostic lights are on with a lot of them. They're very sensitive.

Yep mine had exactly the same symptoms. After replacing the fuel pressure sensor, no change, so had the in-tank & high pressure pumps replaced. Both crudded up with rust & debris. A new belt solved the cold start squeal! Bill was £1500, but I love the car!

Yes, my eco light went off years ago!
