About Philip Giasson Expertise I can answer pretty much any technical or mechanical question about any model of Mitsubishi Car, Truck, or SUV. Anything to do with repair of their engines, adjustments, how to's, etc. You name it.
Even electrical, body, upgrades... aftermarket goodies. Turbo charging for naturally aspirated cars... Pulling more horsepower... Whatever you need!
I'm the Mitsu Guy.
Around this area PPL come to me 'cause I'm a mitsu fanatic and because I've personally had 7 different types mitsu's and still own 3. They are my favorite vehicles... and my favorite of them all is also the most complicated vehicle of its day. I have spent massive amounts of time and energy learning the "in's" and "out's" of it's (D.O.H.C., Twin Turbo, Twin Intercooled, Variable Timing, Dual Intake Runners, Multi-port fuel-injected, Fully Computer Controlled) Engine, Getrag Transmission / Electronic Adjustable - KYB Suspension/ Full-time All Wheel Drive w/ Vicious Coupling LSD Differential / All Wheel Steering... all of their individual components design, structure, and flaws. Its is the 3000GT VR-4, my baby!
Mostly all of the other Mitsu's are a piece of cake comparatively with a few exceptions. I don't claim to know everything about cars. If I don't know it of the top of my head... I'll give one of my knowledgeable friends a call, and we'll come up with the right answer! Cars are one of my passions, like many other guys. I'm here to assist others with whatever they need help with on their Mitsu's! Go Mitsu Fans!
Experience My experience, consists of 7 years active full time employment in the automotive field. Although mainly mechanical, I have extensive parts knowledge on all types of vehicles, and have also supervised a shop with 4 bays. I have since moved on to work on my own. I mainly work on heavily modded: drag cars, show cars, and or full rebuild from stock w/ blown motor to brand new fully custom interiors, computer systems, engine, suspension, rims+tyres - full race ready.
Education/Credentials Although I have some College as well as Certifications in computers and nursing... I am not in Automotive. Mostly self learned in high school and college. After I started working at the first shop that I worked at... I learned immense amounts in a relatively short periods of time. Some of it was forced too after blowing an engine or two in my first gen. Eclipse awd Turbo. I had to learn and learn quickly how to get it done and be back on the road to work the next day! Literally. Since then I've been through several other sweet Talon's, 3000GT's, Stealth's, Galant's, and more.
Mitsubishi - inermittent starting problem and stalling
Expert: Philip Giasson - 10/2/2009
Question 91 Galant awd non turbo(actually Eagle2000gtx)
First had rapid clicking from fuel pump and then car stalled
Started in about 15 min.
Ran good for couple days then stalled after starting and driving for about 2 min.Started in about 15 min.
Replaced fuel pump, relay and fuel filter.
First did not start,then started later
Then didn't start and later started.
Answer First thing after replacing the fuel pump it may not start for the first few tries until it is primed. (when fuel fills the entire system) After it is primed it should start almost instantly from then on. It is possible that there is a clog of some kind near the fuel rail. If you have good pressure there at the fuel rail(regulator or injectors) then your starting issue as far as fuel goes should now be resolved. By the way what is the model of motor? 2.0 DOHC? is is the 4g63?
