I am suspecting a weak battery charge kasi parang nagrereset yung alam nya into valet mode (the blue light flashes just like when we took from casa in stationery). Anybody has experienced this?

After few hours, we tried to crank and yes the starter cranked pero hindi pa rin nag-i-start! My cousin tried the technique he used sa aming dating owner type jeep during hard starting, (the "the choke style") so he used his palm to block the air pipe linking the air cleaner and "karburador" daw, ayun umandar na. May karburador ba ang Mirage since I believed electronically injected ang fuel system nya?

Now it's okay. Siguro may protective circuit ang starter system nya na automatic ma-disable (like the power windows) pag sunod-sunod ang pag-on/off nya.

kailangan ma siguro ano talaga problema nyan. There might be something in your user's manual. If you can, consult your dealership. Mahirap yan baka bigla na lang magloko di mo alam ano talaga ang problema.

Of course. Pero observe ko muna if it will reoccur. Medyo mahirap kasing i-explain sa mga mekaniko sa casa kasi medyo weird beside my place is 4-hour drive to the nearest mitsu service center.

sir kisshmet, hindi na po ba naulit yung incident na yan na hindi nag-start ang mirage nyo? I am planning to bring the car sa casa to replace the fuel filter and to drain and clean the fuel tank.
