Mitsubishi electronics = Junk

[vanilla gorilla]

So anyways, I finish putting my turbo/manifold, etc on my spyder today and crank it up. Run really choppy, cuts off as soon as you let off the gas. Couldnt figure it out. Checked everything under the hood, all electrical connections. So I crank the car up again and hold the gas at 1k rpms. Make a long story short, I came to the conclusion it was the mas airflow sensor (luckily I have a spare). I throw it on the car and it purrs. Runs beautiful.

What I cant understand is that the car ran fine when I parked it 2-3 months ago, and I go to crank it today and the MAF is shot.

Mitsubishi sensors and electronics must be super poopy

79k miles on the car and its already blew the following sensors:
-IAC
-Crank postion sensor
-MAP
-MAF
I also have put a new Cam sensor on it, just to eliminate variables. So basically the only thing that hasnt been replaced is the TPS.

On a side note, the distributor had been acting up on my buddies LT1 camaro, so we yank it out and put a performance unit in. Take the old one apart and what do I find? Mitsubishi emblems on the electronics, lol.

I just wanted to vent on this issue, and ask if anyone else has had many problems with Mitsubishi's electronics?

+1 on the title.

Actually I haven't had any issues with them. I haven't had to replace any sensors on my motor.

Wow.....
Even more good news to add to this thread.

So I had the day off yesterday and decide to clean the Red Rag up and put some good miles on it. I drove it just enough to enjoy it a little, even let some friends ride in it/drive it for old times sake, and my alternator dies....nice.

So now I had two eclipses.....both with poop alternators.

So you got that exhaust housing on it? Its because you drive that damn honda around everyday. If the eclipse was your dd it would never have any problems.

Yeah I got that exhaust housing on. Got it welded up. Only problem was one of the holes for the turbo to manifold bolts wouldnt thread down all the way. I just put a few extra washers under the bolt so its all good.

Dont damn my Honda!........
You know that on the inside you secretly want to buy a honda as a DD....you would never regret it.

I repainted my civic, btw

[SilvrEclipse]

hmm.. Thats weird, I ran a tap threw all of those holes, unless I missed one of them. I would like to have another car to drive when workin on mine, but I think I would still drive it most of the time

[vanilla gorilla]

Lol, yea u missed one....well it threaded great till it got close to the bottom...its all good though, i made it work. But yeah its nice to have something to drive when working on your other cars. Im thinking about buying a brand new car sometime in the next year....but I still want to keep my civic...and my eclipse too. Well I would sell the spyder but I dont think anyone would want it.

Ive only had to replace the little ISC sensor but nothing else maor. I also drive mine everyday as well.

If you think mitsu electronics are shit try a mercedes they are on a whole diferent level of annoying ass electrical problems
