Im very mechanically sound but i started having problems with idling and transmission changing and high fuel consumption so i was chatting to a even more mechanically minded guy who has over 55 years in this field suggested i buy a new fuel cap well i be buggered now when i undo the cap i get so much wooooosh from undoing the cap and now my consumption and every thing else is great well i be buggered lol $19 for a brand new fuel cap. the spare parts guy at Mitsubishi told me that the TL and TW had a dodgy cap lol so if you start having problems change that 1st as it cheap lol

Wow. It's amazing a fuel cap was affecting idle and gear changing. So changing the cap has sorted both idle and gear changes.?

There was no sarcasm or a stab at anyone. I'm suprised pressure in the tank caused gear changing issues in the auto. Idle I can see being affected.

Yeah also with gear changes I was surprised as well I thought my trans was fked. but because of the pressure in the tank maybe it feels smoother cause its running correctly now

What are your before and after Fuel Consumption figures??

before 13.8 now 12.5 and thats with a heavy foot. my wife just potters around before was 13.8 when she has it for the week down to 12.0
