To go GDI turbo, kar see any other reason for that decision unless turbobeast get the engine free.lol

Fellas when goin up paramin(yes i know gdi not made for hill) car bucks and sounds like it wants to cut off and i loose power on the hill. especially if i stop on the hill.
These days i going with god and just hitting the hill with momentum hopig nobody coming down, once the car doesnt come to a stop i climb the hill easy, if i come to a stop is pressure.
What you guys think, solenoid on tranny or a pressure sensor?

tranmission works flawless other wise in flat and lady young,no problems watsoever.

If this wasn't sorted already. What makes you think the transmission is at fault? If it is it should give a code. How high was the gas at point of incident? What your rpms, if you have a tach, looked like at the time? Ever dropped it in first and tried shifting?

Havnt scanned the car to see any codes yet, i suspect its a sensor on the solenoid on tranny as the car works good otherwise, only in constant inclined hills i get this.
Lady young and chancellor isnt a problem. Paramin involves constant steep inclines which the car had no problem with over 2 yrs now.
Yes i normally put in first if i come to a stop on the hill, i normally climbed paramin in D and 2nd, depending on the incline first wont get me moving without the bucking either.
Car actually goes from bucking, to trying to accelerate to loosing all power for a very brief sec and at that point it doesnt make sense putting pressure on tranny.
Its not gas related else I would of gotten it on all inclines once the pump wasnt working as it shud

[trini iceman]

It's funny how many inputs the ecm and tcm needs to work everything properly. Well hope it works out for you.

Hi guys! i sometimes get a kick back when i put the gear in reverse. Happens mostly when the car is cooled down after a long drive! How can this be resolved?
CS3A LANCER 4G18

[wagonrunner]

had brackets made that look like the L's here.


It's the rubbers alone I'm looking for. Will check Marud's ronsin. I wanna take out an old one as a sample, and that's a tie up.

[idlemind]

Hey guys...just passing thru.
Hope all is well with everyone.

[Dave]

Yeah thanks lol

[idlemind]

CS3A LANCER 4G18

Same prob..what I notice ..only from park-reverse ..if the park "P" doesn't light up on the dash when its in park it does that...but if shifter is in park and "P" lights up and shift to "R" it doesn't happen..so for safety just start in "N" and shift from there..orr after driving instead if flying thru D-N-R-P ... Shift into each one as u go up and make sure the "P" lights up on dash ..ik weird :/

[trini iceman]

The car won't start in gear owing to the park/neutral switch.

[SUPERMAN NY]

really weird! just hoping the transmission wasn't going through lol! Thanks

The fuel line for cs3 is metal right through? I need to put a fuel filter on the line.

[Dave]

Can't be all metal. Has to have rubber where it leaves the rigid body to join the engine. Putting an inline filter is always a good idea. Had an almera for 15 yrs and from day one installed an inline and never had to clean injectors and that car was hardly ever driven spirited.

[trini iceman]

You know when the fuel system starts messing up? When we decide to open it to put what we feel is an improvement. Wish you all the best.

I cleaned my injectors 6 months ago did over 25000km during that time. I took out the injectors last week and they we filthy!. Then I remembered that the line doesn't have a filter, only the in tank one (which is dirty, I'm sure) hence the reason for the one I want to put.

[trini iceman]

They were filthy? So you cleaned the injectors and didn't clean the rest of the fuel system? Hear what you need to do if you really want clean injectors. Change your gas station, flush tank and lines, don't run the car past half tank, keep around the gas cap clean, inspect your lines pressure, return and vent, ensure the seal to the pump assembly is clean, inspect injector seats, maybe even use premium, maybe.

If your injectors are so filthy your fuel pump would be dead. Anyhow, as long as you use proper fittings and follow strict cleaning procedures before, during and after installation you should be good. All the best and I hope it works out.

[Jade_Inc.]

I'll have to open my tank some day and check the pump. Can u recommend a good cleaner to flush the fuel line and clean carbon deposits?

[trini iceman]

Firstly, don't open the tank to check the pump, just keep the gas levels high. The less you open it the better. To clean carbon, mist small amounts of water in the throttle while running and warmed up.

[ZeroOne]

Were the injectors dirty on the inside or just the outside/bottom?

[Jade_Inc.]

I'll try that. Injectors were clean at the bottom.

[ZeroOne]

So how you figured that they were dirty?

[Jade_Inc.]

So how you figured that they were dirty?

Performance loss and lower mileage. I usually run the tank to below quarter.

[ZeroOne]

That does not mean that the fuel system is at fault.

If they were clean at the bottom that's a sign that they are OK. Bad injectors cause misfires, hard crank, error codes, check lights etc

Seems like you are tackling the problem from the wrong angle.

[Jade_Inc.]

I don't have any of the problems u stated there. The injectors were getting clogged and once in a blue moon I get a pull back, like if I mash a hard break. Dunno what that could be.

[Casper23]

Can someone tell me what heat rating spark plugs must be for 2005 CS3 lancer and do I have to use NGK?

[Dave]

In NGK it is a 5 plug. You don't but NGKs work well so why change well enough alone

[trini iceman]

Power loss could be caused by a lot more than just injectors.
