    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Hey guys, I checked the ICM as Dave suggested and everything seems good to go. Haven't made it to the coil packs yet but I did pull the IAC and checked the coil resistance. I'm reading consistently 40ohms resistance across the terminals but the FSM lists standard value 28-33 ohms. Maybe it's a...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Thanks guys... I'm focusing on ignition today so I'll check out the ICM and coil packs. The IAC valve is working its way to the top of my checklist (going by the FSM) too. I'll report back in a bit.

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    'Preciate it brother. I received error codes on the two parts that I've replaced and that was the purpose in doing so preliminarily. Spent today testing the MFI inputs and harness connections. Nothing amiss so far. Planning to get into the plugs/ignition system next. Any other ideas on this...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Thanks, I'm going to attempt to check all the grounds and sensor connections to the ECM this morning while I wait on the new camshaft position sensor to arrive. So far, I've checked: fuel- I unhooked the main fuel supply line right before the rails and cranked the ignition for a second and...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    No coolant got anywhere on the valve cover that I could tell. I haven't gotten into the plugs and wires since I've owned it (1.5 years). I've heard it's pretty involved to swap them and that the standard ngks are long life plugs. I got DTC codes 13 and 25 with the paper clip trick in the OBDII...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Well that's not encouraging I was under the impression that only the alternator fires the spark plugs on this engine. The voltmeter is reading normal (~12v) but the needle is a little sluggish to show the full reading when I turn the ignition on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    I don't think coolant got into the plugs as my spill was only on the pulley assembly at the front of the engine. Unless I'm missing something I'm not sure how the coolant could have worked its way back to the plugs especially on the 3.5 engine. Fuel pump seems to be fine. I unhooked the fuel...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Thanks I'm guessing it's the alternator. Battery is fine for now. It cranks and fires but won't run. It wasn't overheating at least by the dash gauge and I never received a check engine light so I'm guessing it may not be a sensor. The rails are getting fuel but I'm not sure how much pressure is...

    Help! Rough idle and die... recent coolant flush

    Hey guys, I was just on the way home in "Shikoku" ('95 GenII 3.5L DOHC) and am now roadside trying to decipher what's going on. I drove a total of about 15 miles to destination win no problems. Upon return I made it about 5 miles. I turned the A/C on and off a couple times cause it's kinda...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    yeah there's a big difference but I had a really bad clunk on the front end. The UCAs really tightened the ride up but I also replaced the shock mounting brackets on the LCAs which had worn so badly from bolts that were too small that there was about an inch of play that would rattle like hell...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    Replaced front UCAs and shock mount brackets on the LCAs. I've tolerated some bad clunking on the front and discovered that the stock bolts connecting the shock absorbers to the LCAs were smaller (possibly due to metric/standard measurement mismatch) than the eyelets on the brackets and shock. I...
