I second Boritz comments above. It is easy to get the sequence of the HT leads wrong. Backfiring can also be caused by the fuel mixture being to lean (a vacuum hose fallen off or split); and also if the HT leads are crossing and touching each other.... -
It is probably one of the switches associated with the transfer case. Others on this forum have had this problem. One of them had it, bought a whole new set of switches and when he went to fit them, found a broken wire. Hopefully your problem is as simple...Leave a comment:

Jaffles: I hear what you are saying. I came to Cooma nearly 56 years ago from Melbourne. My aim was to stay for a year to get some money and then travel somewhere. I am still here. I have travelled to lots of places for work, but always come back HOME....Leave a comment:

When you go into 4LLC, the ABS and ASC systems are turned off by the ECU. They should return to normal when you go out of low range, but sometimes it takes longer than you think it should. If you continue to drive, the low range gears may lock up mechanically...Leave a comment:

How good is your thermostat? If the engine is slow to warm up, the sump oil is thicker for a longer time and the engine tune is not right either. Once you get onto the highway, things have probably warmed up by then and things runs as they should. I...Last edited by erad; 1 day ago.Leave a comment:

The brightness of headlights depends heavily on the voltage. Check the voltage of your car. Also check the earth connections. Being Zenon, I would expect that the light intensity would not drop that much, but these are simple things to check first.Leave a comment:

A lot of the problem comes from lack of use. Try to remember to switch in and of 4WD every now and again(at least once a month) and you will find that the systems works well then.Leave a comment:

If the boost pressure is measured near the turbo, you could have a leak in the hose connections further towards the intake manifold. Check hose connections.Leave a comment:

Scooby wrote, in part "I didn’t trust myself to use air to hold the valves up. I probably would knock the air hose off.
So I just wound the piston to the top of the bore on the cylinder I was changing.
The valves would drop...Leave a comment:

You say the noise is road speed rather than engine speed related. My old NL was heavily thumped up the arse by a Commodore, causing the NL to be violently accelerated forward - so much so that both front seats backs collapsed. After the car was repaired...Leave a comment:

I have an NW Pajero which has a reversing camera as standard. The monitor is in the mirror, and I reckon its use is limited. It is perfect for parallel parking and other close work - the camera has a fairly wide angle and there are grid lines to guide...Leave a comment:

I would try Mal at Mitsfix in Bayswater. He is handy to you and I found he knows Mitsubishis and was very helpful to me. 03 9761 6270.Leave a comment:

I wouldn't use Permatex or any other sealant because almost certainly you will get some of it into the injector line and hence into your injectors. The system was designed to have no sealant in these connections, so that is the way I would do it. The...Leave a comment:

I have made a copy from my Max Elery W/S manual about the Service spanner reset. See attached. MY experience with this is that the service interval does advance OK, but you cannot go the other way. This doesn't bother me because I keep an accurate log...

Zigmeister: I would be inclined to loosen and remove the offending pipe, and carefully examine the sealing section of the flare. If you see no cracks or scores in the sealing faces, then carefully re-install it and tighten it to specifications. You...Leave a comment:

Probably better to let people know where to go with their alignment problems as well.Leave a comment:

You could have an air leak in the intake manifold somewhere. This would then cause the air/fuel mixture to go lean. The Oxygen sensor would then compensate by making things richer, it would be too rich so it would back off and so on. Check all the vacuum...Leave a comment:

On my NL's 30000km service, the dealer gave me a small bag of machining swarf which they said came from the rear diff. They said to monitor the diff at its next oil change and see if more came out. They reckoned it was original machining stuff. No more...Leave a comment:

Kingbrown has given the correct answer, but to help understand the answer, this may help.
There are 2 different types of pressure measurement - gauge pressure and absolute pressure. To confuse things even further, we have imperial and metric...Leave a comment:

I had to put a password into a program I was using, and I wanted something which could be easily done with the left hand, erad was simple, so that was then my avatar name.Leave a comment:
