Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, V, VI, VII, VIII Mitsubishi Lancer FWD 2001 and up Mitsubishi Eclipse 2000 and up Estimated Installation Time: 30-45 Minutes Tools Required: -Philips head screwdriver -8mm wrench -10mm wrench -12mm wrench -8mm, 10mm, and 12mm sockets and ratchet -Bench vise -Grinder 1. Carefully unscrew the stock shift knob. 2. Remove ashtray and screw beneath it. 3. Remove two screws from inside the center console storage compartment. 4. Lift up on the rear section of the center console and unclip it from the front section. 5. Remove plastic screw from the driver’s side of the center console (near the gas pedal). Remove the plastic cover and the pop rivet beneath it. Then remove the two screws at the rear of the console (were hidden by the rearward part of the center console that was removed). 6. Unclip plastic connector at the rear of the console. Remove entire center console. 7. Loosen and remove the bolts at the front and rear of the plastic assembly. Note the order these parts are in as they must be replaced in the same order later in the installation. The front bolt does not need to be completely removed from the plastic assembly, only pulled out enough to allow the top part of the plastic assembly to be lifted off. Now remove the top of the assembly exposing the top of the shifter main pivot ball. 8. Remove the clip on the bottom of the shifter, which connects it to the lower shifter cable. Remove the plastic pivot cup from the lower shifter cable. Also remove the clip attaching the left side shifter cable to the shifter arm. The stock shifter can now be removed. 9. For an Evolution 8 follow this step: using a grinder, shave down the sides of the counterweight / boot support in order to remove the white plastic cup. This in no way damages the stock shifter and it is still usable after the procedure. This enables you to remove the white plastic retaining ring without any cutting.

In cases such as the above, the cause is probably the air/fuel mixture or idle air control motor. Other systems affecting idle quality include the ignition system and compression. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case:) Malfunction of the ignition system. Malfunction of air/fuel ratio control system. Malfunction of the IAC system. Malfunction of the evaporative emission purge solenoid system. Poor compression pressure. Vacuum leak. Malfunction of the EGR solenoid system. STEP 1. Check if the battery terminal is disconnected. Q: Has the battery terminal been disconnected lately? YES: Start the engine and let it run at idle for approximate 10 minutes after engine warm up. Then, if a malfunction occurs, go to Step 2. NO: Go to Step 2. STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC). CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch is to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502. 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. Read the DTC. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position. Q: Is the DTC is output? YES: Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. NO: Go to Step 3. STEP 3. Check the engine idling state. Q: Is it hunting remarkably? YES: Go to Step 4. NO: Go to Step 5. STEP 4. Check the following items. 1. Carry out the following cleaning. a. Clean the throttle valve area. 2. After cleaning, confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated. Q: Is the malfunction symptom resolved?

1. Get a full understanding of the trouble symptoms by check the theft-alarm system,and then carry out troubleshooting. 2. The signals input to the ETACS-ECU from the switches which are related to the following systems should be normal. – Central door locking system – Headlight system – Horn system – Starting system In addition, the signals input to the ETACS-ECU from the following switches should be normal. – Hood switch – Liftgate switch – Liftgate key cylinder switch NOTE: 1. The ETACS-ECU may not accept the alarm cancelling signal under the following conditions. – If the liftgate key cylinder switch or door lock key cylinder switch is operated roughly – If these switches have been installed incorrectly or switches themselves are defective In such case, the alarm will work when the door is opened using a key. [However, when the door key cylinder switch has been shorted with the ignition switch ON, the ETACS-ECU judges the detection switch as faulty. Since then, it will prevent setting of alarm until the shorting is corrected.] 2. If the liftgate is opened using a key and is left opened when the door key cylinder switch system has a trouble (wiring harness damage, open circuit, etc.), the ETACS-ECU judges it as the liftgate holding mode and does not produce alarm even when the door is opened.

Tests/Procedures: 1. Check the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) powers and grounds. Powers are at pins #102, 103, 107 and 110. Grounds are pins 101 and 106. 2. Check the ECU control of the Multi-port Injection (MPI) relay. At start-up, the ECU grounds pins 56 and 63 3. If good, replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Potential Causes: Engine Control Unit (ECU) MPI Relay Wiring Harness Diagnostic Codes: None 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse, GSX 2.0L * Replaced Engine Control Unit (ECU)
