Well as most of u know i got my 1.5GDI yesterday and well today the throttle body gone tonight Crying or Very sad

Car was able to start i was mon repos tock off my battery pole yes that works to reset the whole system tho the car was spiking alot i was able to get to 100 and down the high way to claxton bay to my long time mitsu mech Richard well most of u may know him as R's Auto

On first glance he tock off he breather hose in which case exposing the body it wasnt moving and when it did was very hard yes Virus it gone i can get one costing 2k or repair this one either way i can get the car back as she was happy but sad any ways i got to experience what most of you all where discussing and well thanks to you my fellow mitsu bros i was able to identify the problem.

Will update on more details

Virus, welcome to the CS Lancer owners lounge

we talk here mostly of CS3's - 1.6L 4G18 efi engines here

but I am sure that CS2 experiences will be welcome, since we share many other similarities - body and suspension, interior etc

Got back the car today it works great an over nite by R's Auto in Claxton bay and now she's back up and running feels good

any time i get to a high speed or the engine under strain like in a hill climb the car just pulls back and i don't get any throttle response and if i do it has a lot of dead spots

usually i have to switch off then back on to regain throttle response

how much do you feel a weak battery will affect the performance of my TB sensors Question

i have a GLX not GDI

teichou I feel u have to take ah boat ride

this makes no sense if your comments aren't helpful or related to the question asked

Q: will low voltage affect my TB sensors?

Attempted A: teichou I feel u have to take ah boat ride

i thought that was a simple yes or no question
maybe i am slow but that doesn't seem to be a related answer to me at all

teichou, doh get on with the man so nah pallie, lehwe keep things clean and enjoyable. all ah we tryin to contribute even if its a lil snicker
btw, i saw all three versions ^^^^ Mr. Green

Right so to bring things up to speed from the last few pages:
teichou,speedo and odo problem, looking for a wiring diagram for manual cs3a, TB issues….
fras, looking for a estimate on a drivers side headlight
turbocharged247 looking for left front mount for 05 lancer
Virus welcome to the unpredictable and screwed up nature of the electronic throttle body, sorry to hear bout ur experience. Hope things work out better with this new TB

Now on to recent f*cked up discoveries:
SO i've been driving around with a blown brake bulb for a while now and i thought maybe its time i delt with it so, i bought a normal standard brakes bulb in anticipation of a simple swap....first mistake

When i popped the truck this is what i saw

Click for full-size.

So i say cool its jus to pull off the carpet only to see

Click for full-size.

So after *cuss *cuss i say let me take off two phillip head screws on the light that gets hidden inside the trunk's inlet, maybe is a black plastic plate to get to the back of the light only to realise that the entire light came off. so i say why only two screws holding up the back light?????

i mean if i forget my trunk open, my lights can be gone in 60 seconds(no pun intended)

Click for full-size.

Now the fun starts i took out the bulb and realise its the wrong one i bought so i mounted back up the light to make a turn out the road
then i thought but if only one side have screws how does the other side hold securely so i reach round to the pointed part of the light and gently tugged at it....and bam

Click for full-size.

So i unscrewed it and made sure everything caught properly, screwed back no change, by the time i got fed up the yellow plastic threading started breaking down

Now i need to find some sealant to hold the light in place but to be able to undo when the bulbs blow again. Someone here must have had to change bulbs already, this is real crap, MMC couldve done better.

What to do guys? My light always lined up properly without movement and i intend to keep it so.

idlemind,
are the plastic plugs 1 and 2 intact?
those are what kept the light in place, and many vehicles do have components like that.

teichou, no scene guy... Sanct unavailable so Monday for sure

wagonrunner, plastic plugs good, weathered but good, but u gave me an idea though. i go lash dem with some plastc weld and tuffn them up and then try again.

My predicament now is trying to avoid screwing too many times and wearing off the threads on the yellow recepticles Embarassed

idlemind,
i hear yuh...............wrt to yellow receptacles. turn lightly, until you feel resistance,

thnx for the effort Smile

OKAY

After examining the "Plastic Plugs" (more like surgical removal with tweazers coz everything seize up together erroding with rain water and brittle with sunlight)...i realised the plug comprised of three parts

1. A Rubbery cap to fit into the body of the car (permanently)
2. A Hard plastic cap to fit onto the
3. Metal Pin that stays onto the BackLight

So i took my time eased each off the other, cleaned and got a sealant and sealed the Rubber cap onto the body of the car. While the Plastic Cup locked nicely into the Metal Pin and everything seated and locked nicely.

Jus for the heck of it i plastic weld the little Plastic Spine that broke in the diagrams.
The light fits firmly into the Body now, i cant even get a fingernail in to try n pry the corner like before. NOT THAT I WANT TO ANYWAY Smile

I can safely say I am not going to enjoy replacing my bulbs again

Now i await Venum, fras, SHO to come with some BS 'buh i coulda tell you so'. No harm guys.

Laughing

Thanks wr
