Mitsubishi Pajero NM, NP (2000-2006) Questions & Answers (page 4 of 7)

BCM (Body Control Module) - Interior Fuse Box for NM, NP Pajero Petrol and Diesel 2000 - 2006 models.

i have the reverse problem "auto choke" stopped working. i read there is no auto choke, and is controlled by a "stepper" motor. this is activated on and off by the heat sensor. (of which it appears are 2) i think the stepper motor is up under the inlet intake. on my older pajero i just wound in the air mixture screw up the top, but it dosn't fix the main problem. hopefully some knowledgeable mechanic replies for both of us, good luck

It's a sealed electronic fast idle solenoid attached by 6 bolts to manifold which can clog up in the opening with carbon residue. You can try and clean it out with a carburettor cleaning agent or get a 2nd hand or new one for about $180 - $200.

mine is an older model and has nothing, if it looks the same as the stuff under the electric drivers seat maybe they have electric passenger seats as well? only other thing is if its not factory fitted you may have scored a UHF radio?good luck

No its not a uhf radio thats in the glove box and it has nothing to do with electric seats which it has because top of range checked under driver seat which hasnt got one. Thanks anyway Malkie

It may be a cd stacker or an amp

i think the reason i havn't done my filter is it is part of the pump and in the tank. should be a plate under back seat behind driver that takes you to the tank with another plate to pump/filter.?good luck, leave sum feedback so i can do mine!

sorry don't know. my old pajero simply had moisture damage to the joiner clips(heading for the front lights). maybe swap inlet lead in thats working to the other coils and see if that works on the other coils? if not sumwhere the power is not getting there. in our old vehicles even the wires can be fried or worn out, or even joiner plugs need cleaning. i have heard of multiple coils going but before you buy new ones make sure they are getting power, good luck

Yeah go for it not a problem bro!

Depends where you live. In South Australia if the petrol engine is a higher capacity than the diesel one you may need to get it approved. Other states may have different criteria though. See the SA rules to get an idea https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/driving-and-transport/vehicles/vehicle-standards-and-modifications/engine-and-exhaust-modifications

I had a similar issue with my NT recently, my battery wasnt holding charge, checked battery and was very low on water. Topped battery up with distilled water, it now holds charge and fires up first time.

What do you mean ‘how to service this car’?

well i did a service on mine when i bought it, new belts hoses plugs cam and crank seals rocker cover gaskets plugs synthetic oils, nulon E30 anti friction etc etc, i'm not a mechanic and it was a slow job, cost well over $1500 in parts. but i took photos of every step. i believe the timing belt is most important if it goes it can cause severe damage.
if you know the history you should get 100k out of a belt, i wasn't sure how accurate the info i got was.

sorry, no idea about 2003 model.

You could get the Mitsubishi australia workshop to have a look at the vehicle or even a reasonable mechanical repairs and servicing workshop or if the problem ends up being with the electrics - perhaps a reasonable auto electrician workshop may be able to help.
I also found ultratune experts at diagnosis and repairs of faults.

if its petrol there is no auto choke, its controlled by a "stepper motor" or the heat sensor, mine stopped working so i have to put my foot on the accelerator at start up for about a minute. so i'd say look at heat sensor first then stepper motor?

Sorry I’m no mechanic best bet is to take it to your local mechanic or perhaps ask or look up Mitsubishi Pajero club Australia via Facebook.

Better take the vehicle to a reasonable auto electrician workshop.

Well - I would recommend against driving the vehicle - until you get the vehicle looked at by a Mitsubishi australia workshop or possiby a reasonable mechanical repairs and servicing workshop may be able to help.
It doesn't seem like your fault is within the electrics but, also consider a reasonable auto electrician workshop.

Mine is 3.8 so I have no idea about 3.2L. butI reckon using thinner oil for these engines. hope that helps. as used a higher viscosity oil once before made it sound like a diesel.

There's many oil brands out there but, I've found valvoline and penzzoil you be the better ones but, feel free to consider placing synthetic oil in there

Better to get a auto electrician workshop or perhaps a air conditioning specialist to have a look at your vehicle.
Alternatively you could take the vehicle to a Mitsubishi australia workshop.
