just looked was off thanks

 

is/has anyone reported this to mitsubishi? this looks pretty serious if so many people have the same problem.

i attached a photo of my zip tie fix on both ends.

 

had this problem today and my idel was all over the place easy find though

 

have 30,000 miles on my car, it started idleing terrible the last couple weeks, was going to have it dyno'ed and they found it was running lean, I found the solution on here.
I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow just in case, But I have zipped tied it already.
I'll let you all know if I get any where with it.
Great thread!

 

Just the latest victim of this. I had intended to fix it and never got around to it. Every time I remembered I needed to do it, working on the car was inconvenient. At least the fix was easy. Hopefully it didn't cause any permanent damage.

 

Has anyone had a problem keeping zip ties on this vacuum hose?

 

yea they tend not to stay on too well, one of those metal clamps that you loosen with pliers would be better.

 

Can someone descibe where exactly this is? I want to zip tie it but can't find where this is. Thanks!

 

its on the left part of the intake manifold, so when you open your hood and look at the engine bay, its on the left near the front of the car, near the dipstick

 

dude look at the first pic in the fist post of this thread. You can clearly see where it is in relation to the dipstick.

 

Mine must have been gettin loose becuz my idle was off more importantly WOT was really rough and a was scared to do it.Luckily my Tuner Cahd Block found it off and it fixed everything!

 

I'm glad this is an easy fix. The number of people with this problem is staggering. Between this and the fuel pump relay failure (that they'll only fix if you get the right DTC), it's like Mitsubishi is purposely trying to blow up our engines.

 

Man, I'm glad I'm a part of these forums.

My idle randomly went to hell, and power was surging during decent acceleration. But I automatically knew what to look for, and sure enough, it was off. Thanks guys!

 

i had the same issue before....simple ziptie fixed it

 

Just did mine. Thanks for the tip!
