TJ magna car turning off
re start car s hold down as it means SEDAN then 3.5 then hold down as it is 3.5 the4n drive
along come to lights and it wants to stall :rant: :rant:

Any ideas or it just needs to go to mitsi dealer and fault codes read????

have you disconnected your battery recently? or is the battery nearly dead ?

what happens when you disconnect the power source from the car is that it "resets" the ecu and the car must "learn" again. Select the sedan and 3.5.. then just let the car sit in ya driveway for 10 mins or so idling.

Then go for a drive and it should not stall when coming to a stop.

If you have to select what your car is everytime you turn the car on, i'd guess there is something wrong with your power source.

Good Luck buddy!

Is it just stopping or is it that the idle is too slow? Does it try and idle at about 500 rpm?

If its the idle speed check the idle speed servo.

Rob

The battery is sooo overdue to be replaced.
I will buy a battery tomorrow

Changed battery and hasnt changed......:rant:
When you come to a stop the revs flucuates and stalls as before.
Any ideas or book it into mitsi dealer mon tues

Jezza did you try and do this?

This will most certainly will fix the problem

Just Disconnnect & Reconnect again, turn on your car and select 3.5L sedan and let it idle for 10 minutes. Trust me this has happened to myself and many other members.

Yeah mate tried it.
Every time you turn engine off u have to reset car again?????
Push S then 3.5 then runs.
Now the remote locking doesnt work :rant:

I was going to say it could be your alternator but now your central locking isn't working.

so, its definately electrical then.

either take it to mitsubishi or an auto-electrician.

Its an IOD fuse i think, take it to mitsubishi..

see below

According to the manual IOD fuse is number 10, why would u take it to a dealer to change a fuse?

My mates TH Wagon had a similar problem - although he left it idling for 10+ minites after an ECU reset, it still wanted to stall and/or idle would fluctuate. The spark plugs were stuffed so after changing all 6 she's idling like a smoothy now. He's joined up here as rvrollla so if he sees the thread he might add more about what he did.

spoke to mitsi dealer gave me some advice.
found 1 blown fuse so remote working again and tried
again car seems to be ok but still cutting out at traffic lights
every now and then.

still cutting out at traffic lights
every now and then.

As I said earlier: Check your idle speed servo motor.

Rob

went down and got new fuses and changed them ALL
she goes like a dream.
Each fuse had CRAP around it (corrosin problem).

Looks like condensation in fuse bay:nuts: :nuts:

THANKS ALL FOR INFORMATIVE INPUT:cool: :cool: :cool:

Other than this the TJ has been a brilliant car:cool:

My car had that same problem. At that stage I was told My Idling motor was clogged and needed replacing.

But they were probably just trying to get money out of me. :angry:
