problem with my pajero

[johnart]

otep,
tama po pwede naman delay, however in the subdivision were I live I might be blacklisted because I just park the car on the street. For the past few weeks before I had it overhauled the pajero kept on smoking alot of black smoke. Which causes a lot of inconveniece to me and to the people walking in the sidewalk. Because before they can pass thru they had to cover thier noses, nakakahiya talaga sa kanila. And also and lakas uminom ng diesel around 4 to 5 km per liter ako. And the worse ang hina ng hatak, so I need to step more on the gas pedal which in turn causes more smoke than torque.

I guess this is the final update with my pajero. After 1 month of overhaul, things I did to make the car run smoother, drain the tank, added a secondary fuel filter (from a kia pregio) and had an oil change this morning for its 1,000km check up. Then this afternoon I went to batangas and back to manila and got a mileage of 6km/liter, (well I was hard revving hehehe) this was a big improvement from the 2-4km/lt before. And in my driving I was able to get a top speed of 152kph this was done on the skyway, with 5 passengers and aircon on. Engine is all stock And this made me glad that all I spent for the repairs were worth it.
However my only shock was that the oil that I changed and it was just used for 1,000km it became so dirty and black. Makes me wonder that oil changes should be earlier than the 5,000km recommended by the casa. I guess my plan would be change oil every 1,500km and change oil and filter every 3,000km.

Since you just got a overhaul, it's adviseable to change the oil after the first 1,000km.

BTW, it's very normal for oil to turn black a few hundred kms after an oil change. It's a sign of the detergent/cleansing properties of the oil. After the break-in change oil, change your oil every 5,000km... oks na yun.

[johnart]

Just done the 1st 1,000km change oil this morning ok sir thank you

[speedyfix]

damn that was an expensive overhaul!!!

no matter what you do, diesel oil will always turn black pretty fast. try to look at it a week after your oil change. maitim na yan agad.

How much does a typical Pajero overhaul cost? OEM (El Dorado) parts used. Just askin.

tyoical 4D56 overhaul usually costs between 20-25k, included na labor, machineshop and parts... NON OEM nga lang...

hi guys, not too sure if you welcome here converted pajeros but i will try my luck. My dad purchased one of those converted pajeros 2 years ago for some reason I do not know what he did, he tells me now that he is missing the 4th gear. He tried brining it to a shop thinking that there is something wrong with the transmission but wala daw. So now the suspect is the computer box. Any suggestions? Sana matulungan niyo ako.

[v22]

ericmm;

is it an A/T??? if it is, maybe the OD switch is busted, it may be always OFF hence it would'nt shift to 4th gear...

[ericmm]

it is A/T. Is it true that if the OD is always OFF it won't shift ot 4th gear? Any suggestions where we can have it checked? We are almost at the brink of getting the computer box replaced.....

Yes, that is the concept. For these kinds of things, the forumers at www.4x4wire.com/mitsubishi are usually helpful.

Be aware that there can be a different control unit for the engine and the transmission.

ericmm: the od switch is the one that'll let the car shift into 4th gear or od (if you have a 4-speed AT).

[ericmm]

Thanks Otep and nugundam93.

I don't know if the OD is working or not. We press it on/off but still no 4th gear. I will look into the website link that Otep provided.

pwedeng glow plug or baka may air yung fuel line mo, hindi maganda pagkableed nung pinalitan ng fuel filter.

yup I agree............................................. .................................................. ....................

[sulzer9]

Johnhart, I pump the filter before I start the engine. Dapat ba heater on muna bago pump?

No need to switch on the glow plug...

Just open the vent plug then start pumping until Diesel oil comes out from the vent plug. make it sure that the pump stroke is down before closing the vent plug or else air will flow back to the fuel lines.

johnart anong brand ng injectors yung 7,040? is it orig? pareho problem ko sayo. yung mausok sa umaga and namamatay. then sa hapon ok na, replaced glow plugs na, kinakabahan tuloy ako sa ride ko baka blow by narin.

[johnart]

promdiboy,
yup its the orig. You can have denso diesel check it out. They will diagnose if blow by or injector problem

[promdiboy]

thanks johnart sa info, pinagawa ko narin sa central diesel clinic. nacalibrate na, ok na sa umaga. problem ko ngayon. sinubukan ko buksan yung oil cap ko. may tumatalsik din na oil. kaya dinala ko agad sa suking mechanic, sabi niya dapat sa oil dipstick din dapat tumatalsik or umuusok. ok na hardstarting problem ko kaya lang napapaisip naman ako ngayon kung blow by narin ako. di naman binanggit sa central diesel na blowby. parehong pareho tayo ng symptoms.

[johnart]

what the mileage of your pajero ? Kung blow by it may not neccessary mean that you have to have the engine overhauled. Yung sa akin malala lang. Every time I start the car when its cold morning or afternoon or even evening and hirap at super sa usok. Yung usok talo ang mga smoke belching na jeep. The whole street is covered by the huge black smoke. And when my mechanic opened the engine ang laki ng wear sa cylinder. As to why this happenned I have no idea di ako gumagamit ng pajero. present mileage 55K km for the whole 48K km my dad used it. 48 to present ako gumagamit 7k for 3 years.

Dont worry tumatalsik sa oil cap does not always mean blow by. High compression ang 4m40 engine normal na may tumatalsik na oil Ngayon nga bagong overhaul tumatalsik pa rin. As long as the car is working right you don't have to worry

[paj4x4]

promdiboy, if you're really in doubt I suggest you have your engine compression tested. Also I believe that minimal levels of oil spewing out is not really a danger sign. It'll be worse if your engine is spewing out relatively high levels of white smoke from the oil cap.
