ok well i bought a ecu to get put in the car TE magna about a week ago had it installed at the same time as i had the timing belt done the reason for having the ecu done was because the gears where playing up and mitsubishi said its the ecu....
well i was driving to work yesterday when ithe engine light comes on &(^% i pulled over and turned the car off but being in the middle of nowhere had to keep going so i started the car agian and off we went 2 mins later engine light again and as i accelerate it starts to do some crazy **** the tacho starts going up and down from 2 to 1 to 3 it like the ecu doesnt know whats going on? the racv told me its the distributor the mechanic told me he s 95 % sure its that, we got a new distributor but its still happening so its not that ?? the next thing the mechanic said it must be the ecu ?? any ideas guys ????? HELP CHEERS

Sounds to me like your best bet is to take it to Mitsu and get them to read off any ECU fault codes. Something doesn't sound right.

ok yesterday got new injection leads Still the same problem the mechanic said the code that keeps coming up is the crank angle sensor ?? and the dead centre sensor (in the distributor) ill try and get one today and see if it is that. When mitsubishi did the timing belt they got a piece of **** suck in there and the belt slipped when they where idelling the car to see if its all good, could that caused it as the crank angle sensor is down near the timing belt im just going off what the mechanic told me :nuts: we ve tryed new plugs leads distributor the original ECU im hoping its this or im going to tow it to mitsubishi ! !

well after taking out the old crank angle sensor we discovered that mitsubishi didnt put it all together the way its meant to go and the wire from the sensor had rubbed down till it completely stripped the red wire in half !!! What should i do take it back there and show em what they did see if they will pay ??? MAKE EM PAY!! or would they jus tell me to get stuffed ?? :gtfo: What are your thoughts??

go in there DEMAND they fix it for free cause they ****ed up and if not then threaten to go to FAIR TRADING with the case

seriously there are too many dodgy ****in mechanics around and they need to be taught a lesson.

HEY well i just called mitsubishi about te whole thing and he ws really good about it i explaned it to him and he understood and said to take the old crank angle sensor there with the reciept and they work something out !! so thats good news! i just bought a distributor for nothing :rant:

i just bought a distributor for nothing :rant:


tell them that, maybe they'll do somethin? i dunno..

take a receipt and a letter from ur mechanic..

throw yourself around and get angry

mitsu stuffed up on my car (not retightening the nut and tension pulley, nut came off pully, belt was about a bee's dick form slippnig off again) after stuffing up times before i had enough, my new mechanic even wrote me a letter (i asked hm too) to show that a mechanic who had some sort of knowledge on what was going on had checked out the car

mitsu fixed it for free, then i told them i was never coming back to them

ill take it back there and see if they will fix me up if not ill take legal action LOL (only cause my job will pay for all the expenses) but they said they will fix it and i know em all there so they should be alright wit it ?? sh*& happens i m just so happy ive got my car back

Ummm what about the goose who told you the dist was not good, perhaps he should also be spoken to about his bad diagnosis????

AFAIK Mitsubishi's weren't his forte, but he really did try staying back late and he did fix it in the end. Still if wasn't for Mitsu's negligence none of this would've happened. And they denied liability in the first instance and couldn't even look at the car cause they were booked out!

ok after about ten phone calls to mitsubishi they finaly said that they will pay for the damages they did so now ive got 300 odd dollars credit to use but i got no idea what to get ? any ideas i thought maybe some brake pads, its just had its 200 000 service so im not ready needing anything at the moment
