    No crank/no start

    I think this is the best way to solve problems like this.If you pull the starter with the loom attached, you can deal with the whole system once and for allIf you look carefully at all the connectors in this picture, you can see they all need some love.Pulling the whole system out in one...

    It takes a fair bit of power to pull the solenoid in ... you can kinda tell just by the sound it makes ... a soft click versus a solid clackIt takes a pretty hard clack to make the magic happen

    Tank Füllstutzen gesucht

    ^^^ good lookin out!Unfortunately, this is (most likely) an AWD specific part, as the fwd fuel tank is totally different They also like to corrode in humid states, so they are fairly rare in the condition he is looking for.Several community members contacted me, and a minty unit has been sourced

    So what was your answer to a dead MFI Injector relay?

    Allan, ...you are correct that it's basically two relays in the housing, but there's actually three modes of operation. There's a leg that's hot 24/7 with starter engaged, and then the normal "run" leg. There's also a "prime" function on the fuel pump side all controlled by the ecu.This...

    Fuel and temp gauges not working properly

    Found this chart, don't know if you've already seen it? Mitsubishi transmission codesIt "looks" like (according to this chart) the WQWK unit is a 3.91 to 1 ratio, so you will need a matching rear diff as the stock vr4/dsm units are 3.55 unitsYou can check your t-case for compatability with...

    Engine Coolant Temp Switch (A/C)

    Engine Coolant Temp Switch (A/C)

    It's worth noting that the a/c overtemp switch had an important job in the original configuration. When coolant temps passed it's threshold/set temp, it would shut the a/c compressor off and spin up both fansDepending on how much wiring you remove when you delete your a/c, you can utilize the...

    Fuel and temp gauges not working properly

    ...an invaluable resource on the jdm carsThe thing about grounds is that one bad ground can cause all kinds of wonky problems in systems that would *seem* totally unrelated. When a ground is faulty, things will backfeed other systems "looking" for ground, and it can really do crazy things...

    New to Mitsubishi...few GVR4 questions

    I now see why you pulled the powertrain, that's some serious carnage.The inside/interior loom and connectors look good, so at least you got that going for you.Once the engine compartment loom is repaired, you're probably going to be good to go.
