New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ianmitsulancer]

^^^ this might be a similar case to mike18...

*wulf_geo: please keep an eye on the timeframe it will take for the truck to be repaired! and you shouldn't be charged a single peso for any quality/warranty claim... and if you think it is taking longer than the usual, ask for a service unit for you to use.

battery of tests, huh. please also take note of the kilometers they added on your odometer.

Hi all, Im from davao, just want to ask how to join your club. Im a proud owner of 2008 GLX purchased last march. Want also to inquire if I can use my stock rim on 2000 model L200 endeavor? Thanks

[ThePatriarch]

Im Not.. my truck is about two weeks na sa casa and would be there a little more longer, the battery of tests are not yet completed. ENGINE problem: the truck suddenly and annoyingly engine brakes when throttle is not pressed.

hmmmm, dapat siguro pa-check ko din strada ko... ganyan din kasi nangyayari sa akin eh... teka, hindi ba normal sa diesel yun?

[ooba99]

doc...when i visited that show.carryboy yan.another new lid but they dont have the pricing yet.... september daw darating. but from the mitsu sales rep..mga P70K daw..so sa carryboy probably mga P60..

Hello doc!!! carryboy ata may gawa nun... sabi nung boardmate ko...

Thanks for the info. Will drop by Carryboy this week to inquire availability and the price.

[ooba99]

sir lamansala, ingat na lang sir sa pagtakbo takbo diyan!!!! i might be flying to davao next month, depending on the security issue, and i would be more tha happy to meet you sir. i'll kep you posted if and when my trip would push thru.

Hello ninong arvin, tuloy ka ba sa Davao City this month?

Dalawa na interested to be club members from Davao, namely ms. piggyprincess and XFORMER. You can probably arrange an EB with them if matutuloy ka and list them up to become members. Thanks.

I hope that someone will lead the mindanao strada group...

hmmmm, dapat siguro pa-check ko din strada ko... ganyan din kasi nangyayari sa akin eh... teka, hindi ba normal sa diesel yun?

Strada ko ganun din 1st and 2nd gears meron talaga engine braking pag bitaw ng throttle. Noong una nangapa ako sa pag-shift ng gears pero after a few days gamay ko na ang shifting properties ng strada ko and I learned how to control yung pag e-engine brake ng 1st and 2nd gears. My wife problem din niya noong una niyang i-drive ang Strada yung pagshift ng gears pero ngayon okay na. Sanayan lang yan .

hmm gotta test it out sa strada namin. parang meron parang wala din. yup diba normal lang yan sa diesel engines?

right. sanayan lang yan. hmmm well i hope resolved na lahat ng problems natin d2 sa thread.. kelan ba punta ni sir arvin sa davao? maybe nasa davao ako that time...

wulf_geo * sir parang ayaw mawala yung mga problema sa truck mo ah.. i remember last july 2 weeks din yata sa casa yung truck mo.. sana maayos na..para ma enjoy mo naman.

[Arvin Cristi]

mga sire, normal lang a mga diesel engines ang parang nag-eengine breaking when you release the accelerator especially when in 1st or 2nd gear. this can be noticed in majority of diesel vehicles with manual trannys. may ibang vehicle makes na hindi mo mapapansin ito pero majority pa din yung ramdam ang engine break, so like stated earlier by some of our friends, sanayan lang talaga ang paggamit ng diesel na sasakyan.

[Arvin Cristi]

right. sanayan lang yan. hmmm well i hope resolved na lahat ng problems natin d2 sa thread.. kelan ba punta ni sir arvin sa davao? maybe nasa davao ako that time...

sir sensya na at hindi pa ako nakakapag update ng punta ko sa davao. medyo nagkaproblema kasi yung mga kakausapin ko regarding the project/contract that they were going to offe to me. i was supposed to operate and maintain a mine in iligan and bukidnon, but when the hostilities started the foreign proponent of the project pulled out their support and staff indefinitely, kaya yung mine is either on hold indefinitely of talagang shelved na.

but i am still setting up another meeting with my colleagues there, so if and when i already have a definite schedule, i will definitely be posting it here.

ingat lagi mga sir!!!

naturally, may engine brake talaga after you release the throttle. the quicker you release the throttle the harder it would brake, that's normal. but my observation is different, the engine brakes even after i already release the throttle for sometime- this is abnormal. there are times na the RPM still increases even i already release the throttle.

To my understanding, the drive-by-wire throttle system and the electronic engine manegement system should yield a more refined, accurate and predictable engine performance compared to the traditional cable controls. i maybe wrong with my strada.

[alainroyce]

there are times na the RPM still increases even i already release the throttle.

I'm not an expert but in my vehicle lancer 2006 its happen also RPM still increases even i already release the throttle. unlike the old vehicle when you release the throttle it will down on the normal RPM immediately. I think its happen when the aircon was engaged.. diba when you start the vehicle then turning ON the aircon the RPM increase by itself without pressing the throttle? i don't know i maybe wrong to this.. any expert on this matter?

*wulf_geo - the main question is: Does the Strada have Drive by Wire Technology? I think so, i could be wrong. But I'll try to look this up.

IMO, But if it has DBW technology it should have been refined by now actually. this is also incorporated with the computer box as well as conjoined/imbedded/interlinked with the ETACS ([SIZE=1]where bluemica had an issue with some months back[/SIZE]). should you visit your truck in the coming days, please ask them if they are touched it thru the M.U.T. ([SIZE=1]i forgot what it means[/SIZE]) that they have to plug to your strada- usually located underneath the dashboard driver's side.

OT *alainroyce- this is quite technichal in nature already but i'll give it a shot- i could be wrong... I hope it helps...

The ECI-Multi if im not mistaken also senses/controls the throttle opening. It can also sense if the A/C is on by stabilizing the idle- a normal carbureted engine just makes the idle go down. this can also be checked by the MUT. it might need adjustment/calibration po sir. The issue i had with my Space Wagon was the other way around. the idle was dropping below normal levels that led to the replacement of the idle servo- but the ECI-Multi is still ok.

Ganito rin napapansin ko, around 2-3 seconds after I release the accelerator, may engine braking sa 1st-2nd gears. Pero I notice this usually early in the am lang. Though I'm not bothered. After a while, wala na. Kaya baka normal lang sa diesel engine, lalo na kung bigger engine.

*sir Ian. thanks man. actually, we done so many diagnostics with the MUT3 reader, in one instance naka kabit while we're having a roadtest. this week, the dealer will continue with their MUT3 tests.

* Sir Boz. i try to admit na ok lang pag early morning startup but mine is annoyingly and upredictably showing up the whole day and all night. Mitsu already explained that its the raw power of the engine, and am not totally sold-out sa explanation becoz i know how a normal engine brake works, how to control it and even make it work to my advantage. what is abnormal is i dont know when its gonna engine brake, sometimes immediately after throtle release, sometimes 2 seconds after and sometimes none at all, it keeps surging forward.

* Sir Alain

Thanks bro. i hope to enjoy my ride and this issue will be resolved soon. either them fixing the problem or giving me a full refund.

[av8or5]

wulf-geo: sir, muhkang ayaw talaga sa iyo ang strada ninyo.... dami ninyo na experience na hindi normal....

[bluemica]

mas maganda atang konti lang ang knowlege ko sa mga yan kaya happy na happy ako sa strada ko hehehehe

[boosted]

hi guys! would like to ask lang if anyone tried using a crdi tuning box/chip on their stradas? if so what are your feedbacks or recommendations - kindly indicate what brand you used - my uncle is asking about it kasi.
