Problems with my Second Hand Car

**raymundp25** · May 7th, 2007 09:40 PM

My car is a 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer EL. The problems are as follows:

1. Pagnagstart sa umaga ay sinisinok. Pag try ko agad patakbuhin ay parang di kumakagat yung gas, parang delayed ang acceleration. Kailangan ko munang bombahin ng gas at painitin ng at least 4 minutes bago maging normal ang accelaration.

2. Nawawala na ang lamig ng aircon. Nagkakaroon ng shaking at vibration na mararamdaman mo sa controls ng aircon.

3. Malakas anf fuel consumption ko pag traffic. Normal ba yun?

HELP!!!! Newbie lang ako sa kotse. I'm a motorcyle rider but my wife is pregnant kaya kailangan may sasakyan na apat ang gulong. Bale second hand ito.

SALAMAT PO... in advance...

For safety reasons when you buy a second hand car have it thorougly checked by a mechanic before you use it, dapat nga before you bought it mas advisable nacheck muna ng trusted mong mechanic para kung may mga sira makakadiscount ka pa ng konti.

Anyhow baka malamig pa lang yung makina kaya may ganun.
Have it tuned-up.
Sa aircon kung mahina ang lamig have it checked.
When you have it checked ask kung nabawasan ang freon, freon kasi di dapat nababawasan sealed yan eh so pag nababawasan it might mean there is a leak somewhere. or kung okay ang freon level it might be kailangan na ng cleaning may mga bara/madumi na.
May vibration sa controls lang ng aircon o sa buong dashboard? kahit tumatakbo na ba meron pa rin?
Kasi kung buong dashboard it might be may sira o may nakalagay na supports na matigas. Although pag may sirang support may particular sound yun.

Thanks for for your prompt reply... ung vibration, sa bandang controls lang. Tapos my matining na tunog pag pinapaandar ko aircon na maririning sa bandang hrapa ng hood. Pag pinapatay ko naman ay nawawala. Means, yung aircon ang sure na culprit. Nawawala rin ung vibration...

Im not entirely sure kung saan galing yung sound na yun pero baka bearing yun sa compressor or yung belts mo worn out na or yung motor fan umiingit. Mas maganda talaga you have it checked sa malapit at trusted mo na service shop. Where are you located ba?

sir...dami pong dapat macheck sa car nyo esp sa fuel system nya and Tuned-up.

i agree with BERCHIEJ Better po dalhin nyo na sa trusted repair shop or mechanic. mas OK kung ung shop eh may A/C technician din para mabilis ang troubleshooting.

sakit daw ng lancer yan. dapat daw painitin sa umaga. yung 89 GLX namin ganyan din. yung 2003 MX ng kakilala ko ganyan din. ewan bat yung sa iba matino naman.

sir medyo malakas sa gas talaga lancer compared sa ibang brand. i have a 98 VTI and a 98 GSR. sa dalawa, grabe sa konsumo yung GSR. maganda lang talaga porma kaya ko kini keep.
