Hi,
I own a 2004 mitsubishi shogun elegance 3.5 lwb gdi. This is my pride and joy with 97000 miles on the clock and serviced carried out every year since new. Recently had a miss fire the day before the mot. Code read injector open circuit cylinder 3. The garage informed me that a new coil back was fitted but there was still a problem. When I picked up the shogun the engine was making a loud noise when pulling away, which it didn't when I took it in. I decided to go to another garage. They replaced the alternator, although this stopped the noise, they said it wasn't the bearing causing the noise . Anyway on picking up the shogun from them, it took a few more turns of the engine to fire up, now I have a fuel rail sensor code appearing, the engine warning light came on for a while, I erased the code and its not returned, but still struggling to start. No miss fire when running. I've already spent over a week £1,200 on this problem, any advice will be appreciated. I have a code reader, which is handy but doesn't fix the problem. |

Surely if the senor or the micro filters were faulty it would not run smoothly when driving at all. No miss fire when running.

Hi, not funny to have such a problem.
Especially when even the dealer dont know how to solve it... :-/
I cant give you a clue either, hopefully you find a forum-member or a Pajero specialist with a good hunch |
