The little orange "engine" icon,seems to be used by all the manufacturers now. It means there is a problem with engine electronics, the lack of power you experienced is the ECU putting the control of the engine into "limp home" mode. This literally allows you to limp home without being able to drive hard and perhaps damage something. Stopping and switching off is resetting it to normal. There is probably not a real fault, but a sensor problem or bad connection giving a quick bit of bad feedback to the ECU causing it to go to "limp mode".

the orange light is actuall y an engine management light witch controles all electrcal coponent of the engines working i.e crank postion fuel pressure air flow and so on its to warn you of a malfuction and dose not put it in linmp mode the lack of power you are experencing is more likely to be a choked up fuel filter of a split turbo pipe related

there was a fault with the fuel pump on the shogun a few years back. when you put your foot down a bit it would loss power. after you swiched the engine off and left it for a while it would start and run ok but as soon as you put our foot down it would die again.

Nice, but the Ford Ranger or Mazda version is better, better performance, turning circle etc

Me and my mate test drove them all before he bought a mazda

 

Your having a laugh arn't you, these are crap, The Mistsubishi will still be going long after these 2 are fecked.

 

Ivan, try your battery and the terminals, if there is minimul power coming through, the relay will play up as you have described.

[landrover 6]

you could try thornton breakers in bradford,I smashed a front fog light and my local mistisubishi dealer wanted £126 got it from thornton £40 inc delivery.

[Guest spud.]

if this helps mate....the other day i got sum heavy duty springs for the back x2 and a full spring kit x2 and also two back lights off milner offroad on the net.

cheap parts for mitsubisi, only cost £160 with delivery.

thanks for the replys lads.

i took the battery out and fully charged it.then put it back in and tightened all the terminals and its better than it was but am still getting a clicking through the relay but not as bad as before.
