Problem was solved at that time...IT WAS THE ECU...burnt circuit...dont always trust ur ecu codes...Doubt the ecu at times...
I miss this post, if not I will ask u to check on the ECU in the first place.
Old ecu is easy to burn, malfunction due to component life span.

Hi Guys
I have swapped a 6a12 V6 mivec into my Mitsubishi Lancer. The Mivec has been kicking in great for a while now but recently my Mivec has not been kicking in most of the time. Sometimes it does in 1st gear but then cuts in 2nd gear. Sometimes it just does not activate at all. I recently changed my alternator from a 4 pin to a 2 pin. I Serviced the car and changed the oil filter and the oil and put 5W30 oil in the engine.
Any advice out there?

am assuming you are testing the car AFTER its warmed up?
generally speaking, theres a few key items you that mivec relies on (or sort of checks for) before it can kick in
-temps, engine needs to be warmed up, will not kick if its cold
-voltage
-oil pressure
i believe those are some of the easier things to check.
if all fails, you got to start poking around the solonoids and ecu..

**oh yea... you can also pull some codes... that might tell you exactly what the issue is

Hi guys. I am getting an ATF cooler for my Persona, sourced and gonna by it. Been wanting it since the first year of ownership.
Because whenever I go over 4000rpm during a hot day, it will rev another 200rpm just to change from 3 to 4. Not sure torque converter is slipping or the gears are.

Now, I was thinking during the process of fitting the ATF cooler, I wanna install ATF Temp Sensor simultaneously. Found a few on eBay, free shipping as well.

I am hoping not to drill my oem magnetic...
