    L300 Glow Plug issues (cold start issues)

    I have had this same problem for years but I recently kind of overcame it. I have a manual plug button set up but what really helped was now I pushed the accelerator to the floor and then pull back a few inches. Then run the plugs for 5 seconds on the 6-volt setting and it starts right up. I...

    Timing Belt and Oil Seals

    I wasn’t really able to get any of the extra metal out of there. It seems pretty solid for what looks like a pretty thin chunk. I might try again with a smaller pick. Thanks for posting the pic @13mclean

    Timing Belt and Oil Seals

    The balancer shaft was an accidental upload. That one should be fine.Here is another view of the IP. I didn't think I had created a hold in the housing. I was hoping at worst I mangled an existing one. You should be able to zoom in pretty far on that image

    Timing Belt and Oil Seals

    That's for the tips everyone! Unfortunately things did not go so well and I think I have done some costly damage. I decided to try the drill/screw method. My first mistake was not looking at the new seal before I started. If I had I would have seen this thing is made of metal. So I went in with...

    Timing Belt and Oil Seals

    How did you get that seal out? I’m staring at mine now and it’s refusing to come out. I’m replacing it because a ton of fuel was coming out when we were taking the engine apart.

    Is your L300 Leaking Brake Fluid? **READ**

    I'm waiting on a torque wrench and flair nut crows foot. I didn't buy the flair nut wrench but I am kind of regretting that now.

    Is your L300 Leaking Brake Fluid? **READ**

    I would love a hand but I don't think I'll get to the actual master cylinder until tomorrow. I'm still waiting for a few tools to show up from Amazon. I think I have the dash almost ready to come off. I'm working on the switches and then I'll see if my metric allen wrenches work. If not I'll go...

    I totally missed that! Thank you! I'm stuck in the van since it is raining a little bit so it's hard to maneuver.

    I’m attempting this job today. Of course I’m already stuck at the throttle knob. Can anyone tell me how to remove it without breaking it?

    Is your L300 Leaking Brake Fluid? **READ**

    I think I'm going to at least pull apart the dash to reduce some of the labor costs. Maybe I'll give replacing it a try myself but I'm not sure I want to wing it since I've never done this kind of repair before. I'll give some local Mitsubishi places a call.

    Is your L300 Leaking Brake Fluid? **READ**

    Does Anyone that used the autozone replacement have any complaints after running them for awhile ? I had mentioned to my mechanic that I might need this repair done and he was very much against me using an autozone part when the labor costs would be so high for this repair.

    Try and get it appraised by one of the RHD importers in the area. I think that is who the person who sold me my van went to.

    Toasted Tachometer

    Mine stopped working once so I jiggled the wires between the diesel pump and engine and it started working again.

    Wet front carpets, footwell leaks

    That did the trick thank you. I looks like that was one of the last 3 leaks. I broke one of the clips so hopefully I can find one at autozone.

    Wet front carpets, footwell leaks

    How do you pop that plastic grill off? I couldn’t really see a good place pry it and I don’t want to snap it in half.

    What Did You Do for Your Van Today?

    I just did a Diesel purge and made a huge mess... but I think there was some improvement in acceleration. Highway speeds are still terrible on even a hint of an incline. I think my next project is going to be the side exhaust. Any recommendations on places in Seattle that aren't afraid to work...

    What Did You Do for Your Van Today?

    I'm need to replace my fuel lines on the next fuel filter changed. I realized this when I did the diesel purge. Some of the clamps are bad too. What are the four lines and why is one so much more expensive? I can see the line from tank to filter. Filter to IP. IP back to tank. Which one am I...

    What is this thing? - Throttle sensor

    So something I don't need to worry about :) I can do that manually. Phew

    What is this thing? - Throttle sensor

    I think I figured it out. Does this switch force the transmission to drop into a lower gear?
