Re: car seems to be choking

Vacuum leak, spark plugs, or 02 sensor.

o2 sensor issues would probably cause a check engine light.
Spark plugs are regular maintainence, and if they haven't been changed and you are overdue for a tuneup, then that maybe the culprit.

Otherwise you most likely have vacuum leak(s). Pop the hood, check all your hoses throughly. The best way is to pressure test (if you do a search you will find plenty of info...more available on www.stealth316.com) The other option is to try and visually/auditorily find the leak by listening for escaping air or spraying soapy water on all your hoses and looking for bubbles.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
