The Official CS Lancer Thread!

[Kingpin_9]

hey guys. been a fan of this forum for a couple of years and must say thanks for all your help even though you dont have a clue how much u have helped me.

I have aproblem I havent seen here yet. my cs3a lancer is bouncing between 900-2000 rpms when I cold start until it is warm. also, when I go one a bumpy road I can feel like its fighting to drive. its looses power and then catches it back on every bump. feels like whena manual is about to cut out. need some help guys.

[JUS4SHO]

By bouncing u mean the rpm is fluctuating ?

[MISHI]

Sounds like surging. You're having air getting in somewhere that it should not. initially check all vacuum hoses and also clean your throttlebody. make sure your intake clamp is on securely



Also that could possibly be a Throttlebody position Sensor. in that case U should also consider havign the car scanned for error codes.

mitsu chick as dave said.
Speed balance your both front rims and see if that makes a difference first

balance front no more wobble




btw do you guys leave your car charger plugged on at all times even when not in use?

is that harmful in any way?

Good to know you got tru..
i leave my car charger in all the time, once my key is taken out of the ignition the car's current is cut after 30secs or so...think this is a feature in all lancers, not 100% sure
In most cars the cigarette lighter is always a 12v+ to the battery and will always remain on once something is plugged in.

[wagonrunner]

The illumination light might stay on a bit after switch off, but power to the lighter itself is supposed to be controlled by your ignition switch, as in most japanese vehicles.. power is supplied in ACC mode.
In most US brand vehicles the lighter is a direct battery source.

Had an inverter plugged in all the time. No harm done that I can tell.

Quick questions folks, what will cause my car to jerk when I'm increasing in speed before I shift? This only happens in two instances before I shift when I'm increasing speed or when I'm going at a high speed and let off the gas to gradually slow down. My car is down at the moment so I'm not able to inspect anything just wanted some possible causes.

bad engine or tranny mounts, d jerkin action is natural, but if the mounts bad it wont be able to absorb the jolt, so u wud feel it

Yuh shifter bushing mash up. The bushing is a small cylindrical plastic white cap that goes on top of the shifter rod.

Transmission mount gone/going bad. Time for new mounts.
Do you feel/hear a vibration from the dashboard when the car is idling in D, at let's say a traffic light?

[nightman22]

I don't feel any vibration or hear any sounds when I'm in neutral only when I'm about to change gears. The jerky feeling happens only if I drive hard or just before the boost begins to spool.

Who have a spare fender lamp/indicator? I changed the bulb in mine and like I didn't lock it back securely in the groove on the fender. When I reached where I was going, I noticed it was gone.

Would I get this in the bamboo?

[wagonrunner]

you should.
I think i've even seen that and other lamps at new parts places too. like faiz in vistabella, etc.

let us know if you got it.

The clear cover for mine unstuck and fell off yesterday, so just the bulb and part of the housing is there now.

Yea man, will do. I will hit the Bamboo tomorrow.

[idlemind]

DM has it for about a bill last time I checked.

[BrotherHood]

For the pair?

[idlemind]

Nah for one.
Am is both sides you lose?
Sounds more like you get picked if you lost both.

[BrotherHood]

Na na

Is one side. The driver side. I just wanted to know because that price sounds reasonable and I know Diamond Motors very expensive.

[idlemind]

That was a couple years ago eh.
You could also try asking on a new Facebook group called 'Facebook Bamboo'.
Surprisingly there's some guys that work in bamboo that frequent the group too.

[BrotherHood]

Fellas, help a buddy of mine out here na.
I cannot recommened anyone because I do all maintenance and servicing for myself and I have never had any major/serious engine problems to require the expertise of a 'reputable mechanic'. In essence, this is also for me.........

Can annyone recommend a RELIABLE mechanic in the east-west corridor? Have a CS2a i need to get worked on. Had too many bad experiences so far.
