I own a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage and i can say the most everything has been
replaced. over the past 6 months i've experienced a problem where the car
would start roughlt idle and die. I took it to a mecanic how reset the
timing and cleaned the throttle body.two weeks later same story.I took it
to another who said it may be my fuel pump and checked and it was putting
out 36psi which i good for my car. so we checked the altinator** and it
was running fine. finally i took it to a dealership that sold my car the
tech reset the timing(and said it should have never been changed) cleaned
my throttle body again and said it was fine. shortly after i moved, two
weeks into my new job the continued with the dieing. I took it to another
mechanic who kept it for 3 days doing a series of tests and came up with
my problem a few days later a new ecu and i dle air control ($1,332.00).
everything after that ran smoothly one month later (3 days ago) it
starting to idle very rough like before but did not die. I took the car on
the interstate right at 60 mph it gave a jerk and ran fin the rest of the
way. i came to the exit for my work got off the interstate and it run
beautifully(i couldn't hear it run). I blew this off as a fluke due the
recent cold weather the florida has been having. today it did the same
thing and i was wondering what could it be that is causing so much greif?
i also notice that a small amount of white smoke comes out apon starting.
any imput is helpful. thanks
