4G15 GDI Mysterious Problem

Postby Sampson10 » June 3rd, 2016, 10:13 pm

I have a Mitsubishi lancer (2002 model) with a 4G15 (CVT) GDI engine. Lately I have been experiencing some problems that seems very difficult to identify. When AC is off car works perfectly, but when AC is on car stutters, loses power and cuts off when stopped or slowed down. Checked coil packs, changed spark plugs, serviced throttle body, serviced air intake sensor etc. Still experienced same problems so mechanic said to check AC. Took car to AC guy, was told that AC is in perfect working condition. Then took it to an electrician who told me that the alternator was charging fine to take it back to mechanic. Does anyone know what the heck is wrong with this car?

If it is stalling can you keep it running by stepping on the gas? Is it difficult to restart? What happens if you just put on the blower?

I went through the very similar problems with a 4g94 GDI. Turned out to be the GDI fuel pump after months of trial and error.

GDI doesnt carry a iacv as this is controlled by the ecu nor is it the fuel pump as the car would not be idling on at a stop.

Sampson i experienced this recently, when the ac is on the car is under added load. My idle use to drop extremely low especially at a stop and cut off with ac on.
One of the poor designs in gdi technology is the carbon build up caused by the exhaust gas re circulation.

Contact ryotech on the forum, he ran two services on my car, a intake manifold cleaning and a injector cleaner.
GDI injectors are built into the combustion chamber so the typical injector cleaner wont work as it would on a normal port fuel injector that sits on a rail.There is a product he used called BG44k gdi injector cleaner
This is a in tank solution and the intake solution he used was done through a machine. My car has been working great after the service, i suggest you give him a call.

Only distributor i have seen carrying the BG products locally is AUSCO, but i sure there are others.

Good day Gentlemen, I'm having this same problem with my lancer and I believe is what nissan4Life is commenting about. Does anyone have any contact information for ROYTECH? I'm unable to look at his information.

Might need to to another engine scan for error codes and perhaps a compression test.

Is the engine cutting off?

A throttle body spray is adequate. Amsoil power foam is one of the best.
Drive a few days them do an oil change. If plugs are also due then coincide all of the above.
