Hi guys,
First of all, i'm new to this site. I'd like to present myself
I'm from Spain, I own a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2g, and this forum is the only one where i could find some solutions, so i finally decided to sign in.
I recently got a problem with my car.
I was about to go out, I started my engine and the "check engine" led just showed up. After few seconds, my engine just shutted down. After trying to start it again a few times, the results were the same.
The fact is that, the next day, i tried to start my engine again and it worked. I went out for 15 min to test it and I went back home. Then my car shutted down again. And never started again for the next 2 hours.
After that, the engine worked as I wrote before.
After cheking where the problem came from, I noticed that those symptomes were like if the car was getting drown every time I started his engine, probably cause of excess of fuel. (Sorry, i'm not used to speak those terms in english, I try to use the best words for you to understand me)
That would be the reason why my car works after 2-3 hours of not driving it, cause the excess of fuel dissapears.
Then, when I drive it for a few Kms gets full of fuel again and it shuts down.
I realised that this problem could come from two places:
The MAF sensor is damaged and tries to introduce more air than it should, and that, introduces an excess of fuel too.
OR, the TPS sensor of the throttle is damaged, and tells the car to use high levels of fuel.
Any other ideas? What do you think about? Sorry again for my english.
Thank you so much.
