Just thought I'd throw this post up while I have a tow bar fitted to the 380.

I keep getting these error logs from the ecu. They result in a check engine light.

With a can of maf cleaner handy. I decided to try and clean the sensor. And replace the k&n with a paper file to see how it behaves. It will take a few days to see if it's fixed. Is a cold start thing.

The sensor is held in with these stupid 5 star tamper proof screws. I had a tamper proof bit set with me but not this one. Dam you mitsubishi. Luckily it came out with this slotted security bit. I used the biggest one that would fit. I broke the smaller one. I've since cleaned the sensor. And refitted it with stainless self tappers.

If anyone can shed some light with these error codes. I'd be grateful.
It starts and runs rough when cold. Runs fine when warm. And seems a little down on power.

P.S. The stuff you can do on a phone these days is amazing.

Those screws are call torex and you can get a fold out kit from good old bunnings :)
