Some people's interest in Mitsubishy is due to pride of ownership.

My interest is a little bit more eccentric. I am particularly fond of the
1960s English 4 cylinder era - cars like the Austin 1800, Morris 1100,
Mini 850, Morris Minor, Austin Cambridge and their ilk.

That period in automobile history is interesting because all of those
models and brands have long since departed. They were beaten by
complacency, bad management, poor quality and severely retarded marketing
concepts. These are comparable attributes to what we come to know and
experience from our little mates from Tokyo.

I see Mitsubishi as a re-run of this period of automobile history. We
should all turn up the sound magnification and watch this show.

They will end up as fading ripples in the automotive pond. Hyundai will
displace many Mitsubishi sales in the future. The shitty crown will then
pass on to Hyundai in all likelihood.

Seriously now, MMC's only real hope is to sell to an Indian or Chinese
auto maker.

The Malaysians proved that you can indeed polish Mitsu turds. They may have even
improved on quality somewhat through better casting and alloys then Mitsu.

I am thinking that perhaps an Indian company would do a better job of this
polishing than a Chinese company. An Indian company would not put lead in
their paint that is for sure.

Gracious thanking you.

That would not explain the rising RPM. There is no way that a faulty fuel
pump would do that. A faulty fuel pump would have trouble delivering
enough fuel to get the car moving, in the event it was delivering too much fuel then
the return from the FPR would just dump it back in the tank.

It could be a bad FPR though (if the diagphragm has an air leak).
