so i had some issues over the past couple weeks Wife did not tell me anything as it is her daily driver.
upon starting the car we rough idle and "buck" and cut back off.

So first thing first went and check my records on the last time I change plugs and id a full service. seems I was over due for the plug however I change oils and filters as necessary.

that was last week. Wife said car was running good. so I decided to use the car on Saturday and found that there was still an issue not as noticeable as the last time.

this time I cleaned the throttle body and sensors using a throttle bode cleaner.

Since that there is no issues I am still monitoring in the event that is another issue.
I also need to clean the EGR however I do not have a DIY on this. if any one can assist I will appreciate it.

Good.Will pm you and organise to get them later this week. Is this for IP/AC controls/shifter etc?

[ZeroOne]

Ip/AC and cig lighter ill have to check if it contains the shifter.

[BrotherHood]

^^ if no shifter bulb, no problem. i'll still take it.

Tunerz, I've been having some minor issues with my CS3. I've noticed a slight vibrating sound that seems to come from somewhere in the dashboard (maybe centre) that's just IRRITATING. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Need some advise as to the possible suspect(s).

Secondly, I've been informed by DM that there are some suspension parts to change ( Front and Rear (both sides) Linkage and Stabilizer Bar Rubbers). My Warranty is up and was just curious to know if it's worth going OEM or should I be looking at better (not cheaper) alternatives.

Lastly, When the AC Compressor trips ON; Car vibrates badly. (Read here it may be the idle control motor)

2009 CS3 (4G18) Local Mitsubishi Lancer doing approx. 46,000KM. 3 Yr Warranty was out in March 2012.

Thanks

[ronsin1]

^^^ the reason for the vibration is the engine mounts you my have one or two that need changing

as for the suspension parts go OEM but you can get them on the outside on need to change them in the firm

[mitsucolly]

Thanks for the shared knowledge ron. Any other thoughts anyone?

[BrotherHood]

X2 on this.

Rear mount especially.

Hi all was checking out the DIY Engine Mounts thread in the Auto Tech forum and wanted to try this. I have a CS3 lancer the front and back mounts slightly busted (you can see it busted but no vibration yet inside.). I wanted to repack the mounts with the 3M urethane, thats all good and well but the actual removing of the mounts is the problem can anyone say if they have done this before (remove engine mounts) i want to do them 2 by 2 the car is parked up these days so it doesn't need to move. Do you all think i could remove them myself or is there some special thing to be done to get them out without doing damage to my engine. Thanks any assistance would be appreciated

[ronsin1]

user *kronik* did a DIY on this a couple years ago he had a CK and he redid the mounts wiht the 3M polyurethane

[eekipoo]

K thanks

[ronsin1]

so I have another problem which I suspect was the original problem I had it seems as the Step up motor is defective. The idles good with out AC but once AC on the Idle Drops and car sometimes cuts off.
A scan will be done over the weekend as at one point when the car was rough idling the check light came on and cut back off.
Hopefully the ECU stored the fault.

[eekipoo]

I had that exact problem recently. I had sent my car to do some suspension work by my mechanic when it came back the exact same thing was happening. I went by an electrician and simply plugged back in the step up. If you didn't recently do any work on your car the the step up could be faulty and needs to be replaced. If you did, check an electrician to verify all wires are in place.

Word of Advice!!!! Don't leave your car by any Mechanic Unless you know them personally. How d a$$ you did suspension work and in the end had to plug back in your step up motor??? I'll like to think that he took out your TB and cleaned it and you forgot to type that in your post.

If not, the harsh reality is that he may have swapped your step up motor and forgot to plug it back it

[ronsin1]

^^^^ True
