2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer: not accelerating when pressing the gas

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 07:24:21 -0700

My car isn't accelerating when i press the gas from a complete stop i have to put it into another gear (its an automatic mind you) for the car to go and sometimes it doesn't accelerate after that and the gas peddle is hard to push, and it also jerks when i'm in the 20-40 MPH range, the engine light is on as well . I have replaced the plugs and wires and it did not change the condition. What can i do to fix this issue??

Mitsubishi MMCS NR-242: Replacing MMCS E-12 with W-12

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 08:35:44 -0700

Hi, I hope you can help.

My E-12 unit has a broken digitizer (screen is fine).

I found a W-12 replacement, whole unit relatively cheap.

Would it work on my 2015 Mk3 Outlander Gx5hs without coding and cable swap?

Thanks.

Mitsubishi: How to wire a push button horn? 2002 Lancer

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 17:07:25 -0700

My horn is gone in the steering wheel so while I save up to get it fixed I need a horn in the meantime.

So i have a button and two wires positive and negative.

Someone told me positive from the switch to the horn and negative from switch to batery, but it didn't work. Cos apparently the horn is always grounded.

There is power running to the horn.

Any help is greatly appriciated I have been trying for two months.

Thanks

2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer: Shifter is messed up

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 08:09:44 -0700

While driving home after auto zone read my check engine light code ( it was speed sensor module which turned off after they checked it) and my shifter started acting up, not going into gears. When it would go into gear, it wouldn't go past 40. And now the end result is stuck in neutral. I can freely move around the shifter with car in and off with and without the clutch. But nothing happened. Is it the master or slave cylinder or the linkage?

2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer: No power when pressing on the gas

Sun, 25 Nov 2018 16:09:03 -0700

I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ rally 5 speed. The engine runs fine but when i put it in gear it has a bad slow acceleration, and little to no power through any gear i put it in. and if i try to push the pedal to the floor it acts like there is nothing there and the RPM gauge redlines and the car revs high but the car doesnt move. It doesnt jerk or anything. i dont have a problem getting it in gear but was told it could be the clutch or slave cylinder. Ive checked the air filter and even removed it and took it for a drive and still same thing. check engine light is on but says that a O2 is bad.

its a manual

2007-Present Mitsubishi Lancer: I have a knocking/clicking/rattling sound

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 02:34:44 -0700

My car is a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander sport es Problems with my car So there is the knocking/tapping sound that it comes on only when the car is in motion, details below?

So the sound only comes when the car is moving, it doesnt come on when the car is stop, when I accelerate and put the car in motion that's when the sound comes on and it doesnt go away until the car is stopped, (also when I dont give it gas but the car still in motion the sound still on,) I took it to a mechanic and not sure if he check it because he told me to drop it off and to come back a hour later, but he called me 20 minutes later and he told me that it might be the transmission but he wasn't sure, he told me to take the car to a transmission expert, and j have been asking around and just to check the transmission they are charging me 200+ just for the check up and for the record my car does all the changes good, no delay, or anything like that, so I when underneath my car and I was checking everything and notice that my drive shaft has some play when I move it, the car in in park,

So I went online and found out that my u joints might be bad, or the drive shaft, not sure which one it is, I was also reading that the first sign that the u joints are going out it's when the car comes out of balance, and that happen around 3 months ago that I had to rebalance my tires and change 2 because they were worn out from the inside

What's you guys opinion

I have a English converted mmcs j-01 system, the sound is extremely quiet even though it is on full volume, the Amp has been checked and is working fine, it is part of the rockford fosgate system, there is also no nav set up since the conversion, is there a way to fix it or do I need to replace it?

And also can I get a mmcs system that has Bluetooth capability without losing the other features but is in English?
