Didn't take it out yet, but it looks similar to the one in my Mazda 3. My old DSM had a Karman Vortex MAF, but it doesn't look like this one in the CY4A. Will see when I remove it, but is it ok to just spray the little resistor like sensors in it with electrical contact cleaner and let it dry?

Let me know if I need to explain more.
mines came with the USB port in the glove box. Some of the salespersons don't even know that it's located there.moses_boss12 wrote:Good Day Guys
Looking at the new lancer and noticed the stock stereo has a USB option, however when i asked about this they said the car doesnt have a USB port, anyone ever found a way around this ( besides changing the deck)..is there anyway you can get the stock stereo system to utilize the USB ?

I posted on the new car prices thread. Current Lancer prices:
GLX 1.6 - $150k comes with dual front and driver's knee airbag (total 3)
GT 2.0 - $240k 3 airbags as well.
Note: the GT in the showroom is the 4B11 motor with normal power steering pump. It has 2 head rests in the back, no HID's, no AFS and no front strut bar.
The GLX 1.6 is the upgraded 4A92 1.6 dohc mivec engine with power steering pump. The previous 4A91 1.5 came with electric power steering. I saw a roro Galant Fortis with the 4B10 engine and that came with EPS.
Questions to the CY gurus:
Can a 4a91 be upgraded to a 4a92 and keep the EPS or rack must be changed?
Can a 4a92 completely swap out for a 4B11?
Can the 4a91 take the power steering pump if the EPS fails?
I'm a bit confused with how Mitsubishi packages these Lancers...so many perms and coms
I assume this means your car has rear drum brakes? If so, does it have the rear anti-sway bar?A.W.O.L wrote:But the only difference wit mine an the gt badged lancer is rear disc brakes an the steering control..
dredman1 wrote:I recently (like the last week or so) started having an issue where the car responds to throttle inputs very jerky, particularly in traffic. Sometimes when pressing the accelerator to move off to a slow speed in traffic the car seems to hesitate/slightly buck, and sometimes when lifting off the throttle (at slow traffic speeds) the engine seems to jerk somewhat. This is especially prevalent with the a/c on.
The car runs fine when driving at normal highway speeds or accelerating hard.
I'm thinking that the throttle body/TPS may need cleaning, so I'm trying to see if I can do this myself (at least even partially) to see if it would help with my issue.
For the older CY4A heads here, I'm looking at some of the advice given earlier in the thread as the topic seems to have been raised before:trvs wrote:anthonyanthony wrote:Never did the throttle body clean out but from what I read it is done like this according to service manual.
1) Get a throttlebody cleaner ( not sure what brand maybe trvs or sho can recommend)
2) remove rubber intake tube/hose from throttle body.
3) have someone put keys in and switch to ON... not START ..do not start vehicle. Press down on gas pedel. Throttle valve should open fully.
4) apply cleaner on lintfree cloth and clean inside of throttlebody and valve with cloth.
5) switch off , reattach hose and check.
Other tuners comment , add pics etc.
That's the steps.
We used Amsoil Power Foam.JUS4SHO wrote:anthonyanthony wrote:SHO , you mean throttle body cleanout.
As far as I know the cy electronic throttle has the tps (throttle position sensor) built into the body
so I cant see how it can be cleaned.
Albrezel21 , had mine for nearly 4 years and approx 72000 km and no issues.
I also use super fuel.
Correct to properly clean throttle body it must be removed. Don't just spray into it.
Going to clean my air filter and then give the steps in the first quote above (without removing the TB) a try over the weekend with the CRC or BARS cleaner to see if it helps.
Any other suggestions I can try otherwise, or any other advice/tips for cleaning the TB and TPS?

Would I need a new gasket when replacing the TB after removal?
Will also give the MAF a spray with QD contact cleaner - thanks.
Not too sure about that IACV though. Where on the intake is that? (not seeing it in the service manual)Didn't take it out yet, but it looks similar to the one in my Mazda 3.

Let me know if I need to explain more.
Anything other than air filter, spark plugs, tranny fluid, oil & filter thus far will be new to me with this car, so I'm just working with a basic understanding for now and from experience with DIYing on my other cars.
Any guidance though would be appreciated that would save me time and trouble, or before I mess something up Will try to take some pics during the work for the benefit of others in future.
