About 3 weeks ago i bought a 1998 Mitsubishi vrg galant with a 4g93 GDI just to go to school and encountered some problems..
1. Changes gears roughly.
2. there is a noise when accelerating or revving.
3. Earlier this week had some heavy rainfall and the roof of the back seat start dripping water smh
4. idling heavily...been told thats a norm
5. clock not working
6. AC blow cold in the evening/night but whenever sun hot, it blows warm and takes a while to kick in

Serviced the car at automotive and they used Kendall GT-1 Hp engine oil...which oil works best in these engines?

I'm basically a noob when it comes to these gdi engines... what can i do to solve these problems and maintain the engine.. also planning on doing a 6a12 mivec swap, is that a wise decision

a certain tuner told me he would teach me how to maintain it but never responded.... not calling any names (xtech)

1. Changes gears rough..............low level or wrong tranny fluid check or change quickly
2. Engine pinging or knocking...........wrong gas
3. That car in bad shape
4. Not norm injectors, plugs and coil packs need looking at
5. All Galants do this clock easy fix
6. AC need charging


forget V6 MIVEC go Twin Turbos an keep it 2WD

doing like no names was called but........if u remined him he would be of help xtech is a busy guy

thx 4 ur response... will do everything today... what about the ac problem though?

The rough gear change can be a burst mount especially since you state you have a rough idle, these cars go through the front engine mount regularly, if it's that Taiwanese crap, every 2-3 months. If you stick on changing the front you'll damage the rear also.

Sounds like that car needs a little tlc

Oh yeah your ac, can be a bad fan, faulty condenser, leaking evaporator, or just low gas pressure, get a good ac tech to check it.

thx rollingstock... your right just a little tlc... i carried it to my mechanic and did a complete service, running through every problem,replacing each faulty part and now everything runs fine...now im really enjoying the VRG experience
as for the ac problem, the condenser was faulty and needed to be replaced..

xtech i wanted to do something different hence the reason for even considering the V6 MIVEC swap.. have a parted out VR4 shipped and coming in nex month
