I Took My MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR4 To Its FIRST Cars & Coffee MEET! | More Problems.. 

the sparkplug wires will definitely need to be changed, my 3000GT (even tho its a base) had the same issue where the longer i drove it, the hotter it got, the worse it ran. The issue turned out to be 3 things, dirty MAFS plug, a spark plug wire was arching to the exhaust because it was resting on it, and the coil plug wasn't seated all the way. I don't know if any of those will be your issues, or if they fix anything, but I wish you luck, Miguel. These cars are most definitely a hassle sometimes.

The VR4 needs more boost. Great video Miguel👍. Hopefully next videos, it should be about editing cinematics

What a beautiful money pit😅🔥🔥💯

Yeeeeeee VR4s represent

You should always do a fresh tune up and boost leak test on a new car. Spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, pcv valve, etc. Always recommend a fresh 60k if you’re going to start modding (timing belt, water pump, etc.) Guaranteed you have a million boost leaks though, all cars do. Main leaks will come from the throttle body seals, rear turbo o-ring, & intake gaskets. Recommend vacuum reduction and evap delete and new vacuum hoses, bet yours are all cracked. 3SX has a nice boost leak tester that fits right into the maf bubble. Get your throttle body rebuilt, the seals are most likely toast and leaking, do a FIAV delete/bypass while you’re in there to simply taking off the TB & intake manifold.

All you guys rolling in with red vr4s. So awesome. It is a great color for 3000GT owners.

dark green first gens look so nice in person

Hey Miguel, grate video. You might want to look at the temp sensor my 2g talon was doing the dame thing wen hot it would shut off and was hard to turn back on but if I disconnected the sensor it start right away. Good luck.

What a beautiful car and great video man. Please do a track adjustment bro 😀💪

Nice video man don’t give up on the vr4 lol

The black vr4 looks so sick

What's up miguel great VR-4 content like always. By the way I seen you at the junkyard in ontario one day before memorial day lol.

Great video bro car looking amazing

You could have a boost leak yes but it also could be for sure arching with the spark plug wires s well. I had that issue where my coils were arching at the boot

Wha gwaan Mig 🇯🇲 big up yourself you dun MITSUBISHI WE SEH..could be a Bicycle 🤣🤣

Dope cars

Another great video 👍😁

The 3S is the type of car you buy and need $10k in reserve to fix everything all at once. Mainly, b/c 1 thing can break something else, and that can break something. Best way to own a 3S is to sort everything at the same time and use better than OEM parts for everything. Back in the 80s and 90s car's and electrical technology was still new and stuff just breaks. Mostly from too much heat. The 3S is notorious for a hot engine bay. I think due to poor air flow at the cowl.

Check temp sensor first, Get msd wires(they have less resistance than any other brand). Check your gap on your plugs. Evap system refresh. Injector o rings? Just a thought. Boost leak is probably your stuttering. Could even be a gasket leak somewhere sucking air. Do the ol starting fluid at the flanges while its running. And if you havent already, change all your vacuum hoses. Super tedious but worth it. You can even redo in a differnt configuration to try to reduce clutter. I use silicon hose

Bro you filmography is top tier dude. Dope ass edits.

Best thing you can do is drop it off at a reputable shop and have them diagnose and figure out the fuel issue. Sometimes that's the best option and one less headache.. I've done it with a few issues I had and no regrets as long as it gets fixed and runs better.. Just drop her off.. May need a legit tuning, boost loves to play with the fuel curve as with most DSM but honestly man, just take it in to get diagnosed and tuned if needed.. I did notice white smoke with your low fuel pressure, that's usually a result of incomplete combustion from a delay in fuel delivery, a worn out timing gear can cause that so I'd definitely look into your timing as a reason why you have low fuel pressure.. The white smoke with low fuel pressure was kinda a good indicator or whats going on...You also mentioned it gives problems when its warm such as starting issues, from my Honda days that 95% of the time was a faulty main relay, they get hot fast and cause problems but are fine when cooled down..Definitely do simple things like plugs,plug wires, new fuel filter, I'd even pour some seafoam in the gas tank to clean the fuel system... So much you can do to narrow it down..

I had issues with the sensor that dumps exhaust out of the engine. It's on the back of the firewall and wasn't connected. The car would build up when running long distances and had trouble cranking sometimes. I hooked it back up and no problem after that.

Can you do a video changing the timing belt?

Miguel, I just finished my 3000gt vr4 project and hope we can meet in person so we can do a vid together 🙏 Plus, I just installed a new ecu too so its running great

Your Gt is too nice with it, putting mine to shame 😂

🔥🔥🔥

Which cars n coffee was this? You ever make it over to fontucky for autocrosses?

i had the same issue with my vr4, my ecu was bad. one of the capacitor blow out.

Definitely have a buddy of yours swap mafs with you to check if yours is faulty. On this platform the tps goes in however? I know it’s completely different but on a 300zx (z32) the tps position is set with a volt meter and had to be exactly at .4v.

The black 3000 GT 🔥🔥🔥

Bad sensors such as coolant temp sensors can cause the car to go into a sort of limp mode, don't disconnect sensors(that's some ricer bullshit fix), that'll just confuse the ecu even more lol. Replace don't disconnect

Esos 3000gt 😎👍

my subie had a MAP sensor that was bad. when i would try to start it it wouldn't start and it would throw a CEL. then after cleaning it and trying again it would start then it would bug out and not start again. i changed it to a new one and boom it was fixed. so might be your MAP is dead

Where did you get the front and side lip from?

Any recommended international store where can i buy parts for mya eclipse 3g?

Is it not throwing an engine light? If so what codes are coming up?

My toyota 4runner had issues in the heat and would shut off randomly and never triggered a code. Turns out i had 2 coolant temp sensors. The one in the back finally gave out and made the computer shut off the injectors. Maybe your car is similar.

Check pcv hoses

its a shame that mitsubishi discontinued such great cars.

İm driving a 200sx s13 and she wasnt starting after i drove around abit. İt turned out to be the vacuum box an the fuel rail that leaked fuel through the vacuum hose into the intake. That caused the first cypinder to be flooded with fuel and that was the problem. Back then i decided to check my injectors because everything else was just working fine. Started to disassamble and pulled out the cacuum hose....that was the moment i figured out what was wrong because a lot of fuel just flew out of that hose 😂 Dont know what the deal with your 3000gt but i just wanted to share. Maybe it will help someone else.

Every single Mitsubishi I've ran across has had some sort of issue, these shits are factory built with issues as options lmaooo

Have you put a scan tool on it? That might help you out in diagnosing the issue.

💯🔥

Man I'm really curious what the vr4 issue is!

Hey, I was rewiring my radio and then the lights in doors and keyhole went off(also radio), I tested radio everything was fine untill I heated the wires (to isolate them) anyone know what I did wrong?

Get a aftermarket ECU with OBD 2, thats what the guy who I sold my misfiring 3000gt to to fix it.

I have a question? its probably just the audio picking up everything but why does ur car make that high pitch whining sound?

Will mitsubishi return to its good ol days like 3000gt evo vr4 dsm

Hey Miguel how can I get in contact with you. I been following you for while now. And I need a lil help for my build . Appreciate it in advance

That cleaner can kill sensors on Mitsubishis, says so on the can.

You need an alignment my boy 😂

Hey, I would love to build a car, but the bureaucracy in my country doesnt allow it. Even a different wheelsize is a problem to get :(

Sell me the car lol I'd fix that shit in a few days, start with the basics, air(any boost leaks, hard or cracked rubber lines), fuel(clogged fuel filter, corrosion in the lines, rotten wires for the pump, faulty pump), spark(check the coilpacks by swapping them around, it could also be fouled plugs or old sparkplug wires) Then from there move into sensors and wire harnesses. Follow the looms and check for any ripped or chewed up wires. My brother's wrx wouldn't go past 9psi of boost because of a ripped wire going into the map sensor. Wire got snagged while the engine was being replaced but we couldn't see any ripped wires due to it being covered in tape lol, check all the wires. It'll be worth it

sounds like a fuel problem..check the fuel pressure and pump in the tank...pump is loud..they rust easy and pumps get weak. also bypass your fuel pump resistor..I have owned near 100 of these twin turbo platforms, common problem I find all the time with them

Clean the injectors or replace them man 👍 has to be injectors

👍🏾✌🏾

Does it smell kinda fishy behind the radio. Ecm capacitors leak. injector 3 driver get fubar

Maybe it’s the TB. Old seals and all.

The car sounds like it has a misfire at idle. My educated guess is that its spark related. If you havent changed the spark plug wires id do that while doing the plugs too. For wires use OEM or MSD. If you plan on raising the boost, it would be best to swap those to new since you dont know the history of the wires and plugs.

Is 15k a fair price for a mostly stock 99 GSX? It’s pretty clean

3Diamondz beautiful spaceships 🚀 🚀🚀 take ya 3k to Alan BTS TUNED he will get you right.

Maybe the catalytic converter is clogged

Véndemelo o te lo cambio por mi eclipse

Damn Mitsubishi. What happened? Hell you can say this about all JDM.😒

cool cars but one of the worst to work on ever

Even tho it’s annoying I sure do miss the constant beep when you open the door ..🫤
