| Question: |
Hi Anthony,
I have a Mitsubishi Galant, 1994, engine 4g93, chasise52a, automatic,
a short series as I have been told. It runs perfectly for the last 4 years
with the normal maintenance.
All started 4 month ago when the computer (due to a condensator leaks)
stopped the engine. As a new one is hard to find in NZ (and expensive)
I found a guy specialized in fixing computers. He fixed it and the car
worked well for 2 weeks. Now, the engine started to be cut suddenly while
driving, first days/weeks 1-2 times per day and finally (after 1 month)after
few hundreds meters (driving). It could be started again after 1-2 minutes
of waiting, but starts hardly;
I had the car checked by 3 Car stations including MITSUBISHI DEALER in
Auckland but nobody was able to find out what is wrong, they just charged
me for labor (I paid until now about NZ$800). I replaced the Distributor
cap and coil, plug sparks, all filters.
Also, the error shown by the diagnose tool shows an error no 64, which
is an overflow of petrol and you can feel the smell when you try to restart
the engine after it stopped.
A friend of mine had the same problem but with a Nissan March and he found
the problem being an Relay under the dashboard. I had a look at my Mitsubishi
and I found 3 Relays under the wheel/dashboard/. I found one being for
hazards lights and the other two for "Power?" (It’s a
serial no: MB629080156700-0110).
I noticed that when the engine is cut if I turn the ignition key few times
without to ignite, there are few clicks in one of these relay and after
that the engine starts.
Not sure if I have been too clear (English is not my first language) but
if you can give me an advice I would appreciate it a lot.
PS I have the assurance the computer works well.
Also 2 of my friends which had before Mitsubishi had computer problems
and after that they couldn’t fix the car anymore (even with a new
computer).
Best regards,
Adrian
