- This is a 2015 mitsubishi outlander sport 2.0 es 2wd. It has about 59k miles on it. It has developed some sort of idle problem when it comes to stops or at park. Plugs have been replaced Mass air flow has been replaced. I have been unable to find any vacuum links to my knowledge this car does not have an idle air control valve. And supposedly from what I read online the idol is controlled by the computer.
There is no check engine light. Previous shop said it was a bad Schrader valve in the air condition they replaced that it had no effect on the terrible idol. I'm out of ideas and I really do not want to have to take it to mitsubishi... any help is appreciated. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
THE FIX!
Im the original uploader to this video. I lost access to this account. The fix turned out to be what many others have stated it's the throttle body. Which is hard to believe after a couple shops couldn't figure it out. Luckly one here in town did, They took the throttle body off and cleaned it, however IF you take it off on a mitsubishi you also have to reprogram it. So try cleaning it 1st, if that doesn't work you will need to reprogram it which consists of pushing the gas pedal in-and-out so many times So the ECU can relearn the throttle position, theres steps to it, but I'm sure the steps of a TB relearn are online somewhere. So I can't say for sure if cleaning it or reprogram it is what fixed mine but definitely one of the 2 did, but from the looks of others comments cleaning it alone seems to have done the job. Good luck everyone.
I’m having the same problem with my 2020 that I just bought. Check engine light will come on with a misfire code for cylinder 2. Spark plugs, coils everything fine, no one knows the problem. I was going to check my fuel injectors but now I’ll try this first, thanks.
I’m having this issue currently with my 2015 with 217k on it, grateful for finding this video. Wish me luck gang! 🎉
Thank you so much bro!!! I have the same model and every mechanic is stomped by this issue. Driving me crazy tryna fix this issue by process of elimination
I'm having the same issue with my 2018 outlander sport. I have 204k miles. Noticed an issue when using the defrost a couple of months ago.
Replacing the aic valve and the MAP. Good to know about the relearn.
Mine did it too, 2014 Mitsubishi outlander sport. Had throttle body cleaned and it fixed it. I got 228K miles. Still runs good 👍
At how many miles did it started doing that?
@@linoelr I believe at 215k can't remember.
Did you guys clean the throttle body at home or take it to a shop?
I had same issue, throttle body cleaned and also mech did setting of throttling valve
@@erod3128 I first took it to a shop but later my cousin cleaned it for me. The shop cleaned it but probably missed sensors. My cousin made sure it was thoroughly cleaned
I’m so glad I started googling and finding all of this. Exact same issue I’m having. I wish Mitsubishi would just send out a. Hey this is what it does. This is what y’all should do
I’m having the same issue with my 2015. Thanks for this vid and all the comments. I will try cleaning throttle body first.
What fixed it for me was cleaning the battery terminals. What help me troubleshoot was to put the car in reverse and roll up and down the windows. It always started rough ideling at the moment I use electrical equipment in the car. Good luck this one is tricky.
We also had this issue in a 2015 RVR with the 2.4 liter engine. The engine was hunting for correct idle (surging up and down) in drive while stopped at a light or red. Never a problem while moving or parked. The check engine light would come on and the two codes we got were VVT solenoids, intake and exhaust. I first took these out and cleaned and tested them with a 9-volt battery; they both worked fine. Next, I found this thread, and I cleaned the throttle body around the butterfly - where there was indeed black buildup preventing it from fully closing - with carb cleaner and a rag. I also sprayed the mass air flow sensor from in there. Four days on and it seems to have worked. Thanks very much all for your comments and to the original poster for this thread. Saved us a lot of money and time - and headaches. Cheers
Have a 2011 with 80k miles had the same issue cleaned the throttle body with cleaner and a rag since there was buildup preventing it from closing and worked like a charm. Took about an hour to do.
Just updating everyone that it’s still working great 👍
@@Detn8orthanks I’ve been having this problem occasionally while doing it the check engine light comes on with code reading misfire in cylinder 2. Spark plugs and coils are ok so no one knows, I was thinking maybe fuel injector but I will try this. This car is a 2020 with only has 48,000 miles on it smh
Wife's 2015 had exact same issue. Cleaned TB w/o removing it (spraying TB cleaner and cleaning with rag as deep as fingers will go until no more dirt on rag). No more rpm dipping.
I had the same problem with my Outlander 2011 at 170k km, it would frequently cut out at the traffic lights. I followed the advice below and it worked like a charm. However I battled to start afterward and I think that it is because I sprayed a lot of cleaner in the intake port. It is probably best to spray onto a cloth and then wipe inside the port.
Thank you for your post mine does this exactly and I’m at 152,309
Cleaning out throttle body helped on a friend's car. But now idle with ac on is still erratic. Can't find relearn procedure only for the turbo versions.
check the pcv valve. Its an easy fix. parts are cheap. Sparkplugs can be immersed in oil. Change those if not done within 100,000 miles. Easy fix. You can clean throttle body.
2015 mitsubishi outlander sport 2.0. 132367 miles.. Rough idle when a/c is on but when its off idles fine. Ive cleaned throttle body changed plugs and wires ignition coils cleand air flow sensor up/down stream o2 sensor and the catalyticconverter. It only idles rough when a/c is on. I cant find out whats wrong with it
Just to let you know that Mitsubishi you have to change the throttlebody so it will work. I’ve changed mine twice almost every year. The throttle bodies are very acceptable to failure.
Do you have cvt transmission? Mine was transmission swapped out and fixed
I had the same problem so I guess I'll chime in. I changed MAF, coils, plugs, cleaned the throttle body but still had the issue. Some days it didn't have rough idle and other days it was so bad it would die at stoplights. So I went for the EGR valve and when I got it off I realized I should have started there. This valve was caked up so bad I couldn't clean it, unless I took it all apart. But I replaced it, and yeah it wasn't cheap, about $360. But I got the car back together, took it for test drive and it's been running great for the past 3 months. Just hit 91K. If you have this problem I would suggest starting there, it's a tight spot but 2 bolts and a pigtail. Worst case if it's clean at least you know that expensive part is ok.
Please help me find it. Where is it located?
My 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is currently doing the same thing...I replaced my coils, air filter and cleaned the MAF as money is tight. My brother is going to clean the throttle body now. Has this been a fix for most with cleaning the throttle body. I just trying to save as much as possible right now and need my car not to stop on me
Had the same problem (2011 model), happened at to me at 2017. The dealer just did an engine flush and changed the oil. Problem never came back.
My car has rough idle when the AC was a on during a stop. Is this the same?
Been having this problem for the last year and a half nobody seems to know what the hell I did everything you said you did it doesn’t always do it but when it does it’s hell
i have the same make, model and year. 2015 mitsubishi outlander sport and i have the same problem and a buddy is telling me that it is the idle control sensor. i have the check engine light on so i will be going and getting a reading soon
Mine was the battery. Replaced the battery and cleaned the throttle body and my RPMS are stable.
I did this and it did not work for me
Mines doing the same thing! Ive been trying to figure it out myself
I have the same in the shop and all I did was to do a throttle re-learn and it fix the issue
2015 outlander. Happened twice. First was a bad battery, 2nd time was dirty throtle body.
Had the same problem outlander 2016, pls help ?
So I'm gonna try to respond to some of your comments about the rough idle...so I plugged a autolink to my mitsubishi outlander sport and it gives me a p0145 code which means a air sensor and so I replaced the sensor and it ran like new and then it came back. I put the autolink back on and it's the same code. So I did research to find that there is a computer problem and it needs to be updated by mitsubishi dealer...check for yourself.p0145 code. Btw the code says permanent you can't erase it until the computer is updated.
Thank you very much. My Mitsubishi outlander is doing the same thing. It’s a 2015. I’ve changed both O2 sensors and I cut out the cat and weld it in a new one myself that was fun, I wish I would’ve known about the throttlebody lol I’m gonna give that a shot now. Still shutting off and idling funny thanks a lot guys and yeah, come on Mitsubishi give us a fix, I called the Mitsubishi dealer. They acted like they didn’t know anything about it, and I had to bring it in for them to diagnose it even though I told him all the symptoms ridiculous
Hello did you clean it ? Is your outlander runs fine now
Thanks
Oh yeah Mitsubishi is full of shit. Been having the same problem and warranty coverage or not they charge $150 to diagnose regardless if you know the problem or not
We have the same problem bro. I’m gonna clean my throttle body and egr valve
Im having that issue too, Please I need help …..Why is it happening
I have the same car and the same problem did you ever find a fix??
I just got one, but my rpms bounce and my car shakes when in idle like parked or in traffic. Though it doesnt do it all the time, just sometimes, why?
Start with the basics, change the sparkplugs, air filter, check if coils look damaged. Then check maf sensor. Im still trying to find the cause of my issues but those basics should be looked at first.
I have/had the same problem same car i just cleaned the throttle body and and the mass airflow sensor took about an hour an 20 to do used carb clean and mass airflow cleaner and it seems to be good so if you haven’t tried this yet its worth a shot it’s working for me so far
Same problem, same model, same year. I’m at the dealer now having the throttle body cleaned. I found on another TH-cam channel that this solves the problem. Wish me luck.
Throttle body cleaning today solved the rough/low idle. Idle is now stable at 700-800 rpm. Good fix!
Everyone it is the alternator I just diagnosed mine today when the idle starts fluctuating hook up a voltmeter to the battery and you can see a drop in 211 V then back up to 13 V end it happens when there’s a load on the electric system and then the alternator starts intermittently going out therefore that causes the idle to fluctuate…
Ok my pips, first thing if your engine is not breathing right clean your egr valve (carbon buildup) then check your throttle body make sure butterflies on your throttle are clean then you good to go . Have fun Mitsubishi 👍
Having this issue with my 2015, I'm going to try to clean my throttle body and egr valve🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Sorry for the ignorance, where can I find the EGR on a 2011 outlander sport
I need to know where it is too!
Mas sensor or clean the throttle body
Been having this issue for over a year now, could't use my AC for almost a year. I've had a full diagnostic on my car done, no visible issues, check engine light doesn't stay on long enough to get a code. 3 mechanics cannot find the issue and have told me to just keep driving it until something happens. I've changed filters, spark plugs, battery, gas cap (it read as a vac leak once). I have a hard time driving it because if i let the rpms bounce too much at red lights/stops my car will basically shut off and the battery & check engine light come on but I can't drive. I have to turn the car off and back on to be able to move and then the engine light goes off before I can get a code. Mechanics won't listen to me when I suggest options of what it could be and it's getting so frustrating because I can't fix this issue on my own. I know if i bring the comment suggestions to a mechanic they won't listen! Not sure what else to do
I found many cases (revs hesitating up/down while idling), fixed with throttle body cleaning (spraying a rag and then clean the body).. i'll try this and see if it helps with my Outlander 2.4 2012 80k miles... if not done yet on your end, maybe give it a try... UPDATE: i did the cleaning, the car is running like new now, good luck!!
I left a message on here a while back but I cleaned the throttle body where it opens on closes and that fixed the issue been working great for a month.
It is true, frustrating because they won't listen to you. Almost, they are all like that. Try other mechanics, pray and show them experiences from here on your phone. Maybe it will work with God's favor. Keep on talking to till you get one that is ready to check her.
Get a new mechanic
I bought cataclean at Advanced auto. You could have carbon build up in catalytic converter. When your gas is at 1/4 add whole bottle of cataclean then drive it on highway to get it above 40 mph for about 25 minutes.This will burn carbon. Then fill up your gas with high octane gas or premium. Your check engine light should dissappear. It did on mine but it disappeared following day.
I am having the exact same problem. Did you ever find out what was wrong?
Clean fuel injection and fuel pump on mine ( 179,000 miles) Now, runs like a charm !!
I have the exact same problem with mine currently taking steps to fix hopefully I find the problem soon. If y’all find out what it is let me know. It started shortly after I had my ac topped off.
I’m having same problem help me too bro
Looks like we have to clean the throttle body. I have had the same issue as well for over a year and I'm sick of it
I’ve been having the same problem. Just got it only has 48,000 miles and occasionally does this while giving a misfire code in cylinder 2 but spark plugs and coils are fine. I’ll try cleaning throttle body
08:26 I took my 2015 in, and they cleaned the mass air flow sensor and throttle body, plus did a two part fuel air induction svc. $375 later, I still have the same problem.
Dear, i solved the problem through, throttle body removed and cleaned + replaced the spark plugs , now its normal.
Hope this help you,
I had the same problem, I cleaned throttle body, vvt solenoid, EGR valve and kept with same problem. I replaced the PCV valve and problem solved.
I think I'm going to replace my PC valve, if that doesn't work will clean the throttle body
I have the same issue and when car is stopped at signal or in parking, rpm fluctuate b/w 0 and 500 and then come down to Zero and turn off car
I need to start car again
Is there any issue with brake system?
Having this Same issue with the same car please let us know if you found a fix
Throttle body needs cleaned or relearned
I just started having the same problem after getting a tune up done two weeks ago. When I’m driving and come to a complete stop then tap the gas to go it hesitates. It’ll rev while idling or when the ac is on and I’m at 85k. If anyone has a solution I’m all ears.
Have the throttle body cleaned or reprogramed
There is a recall on the Outlander Sport 2015 for an issue with delayed acceleration when coming to a complete stop and then going again.
@@kanegeorge5581really?
This happened to my 2015 Outlander at roughly 75k miles, and again at 180k. My engine built up a carbon ring inside the throttle body, I am guessing the carbon keeps the butterfly valve from fully closing, throwing off the air mixture. I cleaned the throttle body at 75k and it fixed it, and again at 180k.
Did you clean it yourself or take it to a shop?
I cleaned it myself, removed the top air tube and used an alcohol wipe while keeping the butterfly open. Engine off and cool of course.
I have a 2915 as well I think I may be having this issue but I’m not sure. Do you know if there is a way to turn off the eco mode? I don’t have a manual.
I believe the eco goes off automatically when in "sport" mode only.
Endied up having to replace the whole throttle body on mine
Mine still does it when I changed everything I have a 2015 Mitsubishi outlander sport GT
Try the idle air control valve
OK I have been dealing with this for a couple of months now. I think I have finally figured it out. We cleaned the throttle body with throttle body cleaner and all of the connecting air vents and put in a new air filter the hardest part was cleaning the throttle body make sure you clean on the other side of the throttle body plate there will be a black ring then you look in the throttle body after you remove the hose I have pics but can't post them here
Thanks, I will try it.
Is it still working? I have it a 2nd local shop and they cant figure it out either.
I found it mine did the same thing
mines just started! Test said changed mass air flow sensor but from your info looks like that won't help
I also changed mine, it did nothing.
I did and it fixed it for a few days
I'm just having the same problem with my 2015 Outlander Sport SE. I bought it used 3 months ago, and the CVT and the computer for it was replaced 2 weeks after I bought it.
So far, my research shows that a plug,wire,cylinoid change doesn't work, but mixed response about cleaning the throttle body and it's components. Since it is an electric idle ,and not mechanical, it is not recommended to hand clean, or else you would have to take it in to the dealership for idle recalibration. I hope maybe just spraying the cleaner on might help.
I have been trying to figure this out for 6 months, I'm finally taking it to a local shop this week who is supposedly pretty good hopefully they figure it out, if they do I will let you guys know.
Having same problem
Idle control valve?
This car does not have one of those surprisingly
mine did it i just chainged d motor oil and it stoped
I've taken mine to 4 different shops... 2 soaked me and one told me they don't work on Mitsubishi vehicles while the Fourth one suggested I take it to the Mitsubishi dealer and have them diagnose the problem...After 45 minutes in the Mitsubishi shop, they tell me it's a few things they were able to diagnose with their fancy diagnostic machine... They were pretty confident that the problem was solved... Less than a week and it's acting up again...
If the Mitsubishi techies can't fix it, who can?????🧐😵
Mine is doing that I got a 2015 Mitsubishi and same thing happens
this is still ongoing for me. i haven't gotten it yet still working on it
Mine is doing it too bro
@@mattmag8776 think i have got it fixed now i will put a new reply to this post telling what i did
My car same year is doing the same thing. Also thought it was ac.
Check the iac valve
Same shit here bro...
Glad this just isn't happening 2 me....ugh Mitshubishi
My problem also
Crank sensor for sure
It might be the spark plugs because I asked my girlfriends dad it needs a tuneup
Mine is doing the same thing
Yeah PVC valve in throttle body dirty
Try cleaning the throttle body
I clean the throttle body today and so far the rpm stopped going up and down when idle or parked even if I have heater on or A/C
Is it hard to clean ?
Clean your throttle body and do learn value reset on with mut 3
Hello guys come to my place i gonna fix your car problem. im here at vancouver
Transmission
I just fixed this problem with a 2015 mishibishi outlander sport es and the cvt transmission needed a fluid flush and i added Lucas to it and its stopped
I am in need of a Air Filter Box for a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES 2.0. In Arizona the dealer said Mitsubishi quit manufacturing. Can anyone recommend where to get one please? I also tried Amazon.com. AutoZone and other large local companies none available. I even tried OfferUp and letgo. Thank you
You've probably found one by now or given up on it! Lol. If not, there's lots of them available on eBay.
I’m having a similar problem but mine only does it when the max AC is on and I’m parked or stopped. The compressor is also making a tick tick noise. When I’m driving it’s fine though. Also if the AC is off, if I turn off the max AC or if the heat is on it won’t do that even if parked or stopped. Only when parked or stopped with max AC on. And no check engine light or won’t read any codes either. Anybody else have that problem?
Same problem yes did you get it figured out?
@@connellmckee1805 cleaning the throttle body seemed to have fixed it for me.
