Filing in context
The Fuel Injection System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 23 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 150 Mitsubishi notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 1,082 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 1 month.
Defect
The fuel injection timing in the fuel injection system was set incorrectly. Under high-load conditions such as hill climbing, injection timing retards and causes incomplete combustion. This produces abnormal noise and, in the worst case, insufficient power output may cause the engine to stall while driving.
Corrective action
Inspect the fuel injection system on all vehicles. On units that have not been updated, adjust the fuel injection timing to the correct specified value.
