I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and this is the best video, really clear. Not exactly the same engine but basically almost the same process. I've never replaced my spark plugs myself but thought I'd try because I'm tired of paying people. I'm also having my son help out too. Thanks for making this video and having the camera pointed right at it and not 12 inches away.
Hey man. I want to thank you for your videos. I have an Outlander, great car, just hard to find info on how to fix some things. Your videos have been a great help.
Thank you for the Video! Don't get me wrong, mechanics deserve to get paid for their services, but they are ass out if I can save money and do it myself. Thumbs up for the music as well! :)
Thank you so much! I have a 2004 outlander 2.4 mivec. I don't suppose you could show me where the EGR valve is located? The diagrams online look like a foreign language to me 😅
I sold my Outlander 4 years ago. EGR valve is located under the throttle body. Please watch the TH-cam below for similar information (Mitsubishi Airtrek = Mitsubishi Outlander) th-cam.com/video/1nXZ0kuiqYo/w-d-xo.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Outlander
Good presentation and information! I have a 2003 Outlander. The concept is the same, but the layout of mine is quite a bit different. Where you have the individual coils, mine only has 2. Do you have a 2006?
was this a 4 cylinder or a 6? if a 6 where are the other 2? I have a 2007 model and I am trying to figure out how to change the missing 3 as only 3 are visible. Any clue where I can go to see this done?
I have a similar engine. 1998 mitsi rvr with a 4G64. My powerbuild 5/8 spark plug socket doesn't fit down the tube to reach the spark plugs. The socket itself isn't that thick. But I'm tempted to grind it down a bit. Do you know if the 1998 4G64 is the same 5/8 spark plugs. Thanks.
Problem solved. I did end up taking an angle grinder to the socket and eventually it fit. The plugs were mankey from left to right they went black and wet with fuel, black and dry, black and dry with some little specks of white forming on the ends, the last one was a bit black but had lumps of dry white junk on it. Think it's time for new injectors and obviously plugs.
how many miles is it recommended to change the spark plug? Also what does PCV do? What is its purpose? Why do u need to connect air between the intake manifold and the valve/camshaft cover?
Spark plug and vehicle technologies have come a long way. Some cars in the 1950s had a recommended interval of 5,000 miles for changing the plugs. Today, through advancements in design and materials, some cars can meet or exceed 100,000 miles without a change The PCV valve is a control device which sends partially burned gases that come from the engine's crankcase to the combustion chamber. Its name, PCV means Positive Crankcase Ventilation
7150285 The crankcase and the valve cover are the same 'air space' as the oil has to flow back down to the crankcase from the valve train. You need to ventilate the crankcase to prolong the life of your oil and keep it from being contaminated by partially burnt (and in some cases unburnt) fuel. Decades ago, cars had simple breathers. Then someone had the good idea of being more aggressive with this ventilation and having the engine partially breathe through it's own crankcase - much more affective. The valve is there to control this process so there isn't too much or too little ventilation.
Alan Gresham question, but wouldn't the PCV valve cause the engine oil to flow into the intake manifold and contaminate the piston cylinders? How does the PCV valve allow only the unburnt or partially burnt fuel back into manifold w/o taking the engine oil with it?
7150285 The valve closes if there is positive pressure in the crankcase so it's only drawing air into the intake at idle and under light loads. It's also (usually) located above a baffle within the top of the valve cover, an area that would never be flooded with oil.
Thi TRAN TRONG Three signs of a bad PVC valve (1) Filter Contamination: A faulty valve can cause pressure buildup in the engine’s crankcase, pushing the water vapor through a filter called a breather element. This filter is used to prevent excessive oil. When the water gets mixed with gas, it can leave deposits of oil and hydrocarbons on the air filter, resulting in excessive fuel consumption. (2) Oil Leakage: A bad valve is usually associated with excessive oil consumption and leakage. The PVC valve relieves pressure when functioning normally, but when it fails, the pressure in the crankcase might increase, pushing the oil out through gaskets and seals. (3) Decreased Performance: Since the PVC valves play an important role in the vehicle, a faulty valve might affect the overall performance of the car. A bad PVC valve that doesn't close properly might allow the entrance of oxygen into the combustion chamber, which results in dilution of fuel and air, causing the buildup of pressure in the exhaust. This means that the engine might stall and decrease in performance when the PVC valve is bad
Dan Vo Tks for your very detail answer with useful information, Dan!. But I would like to ask you a little more: 1.PCV valve is a type of one way valve. It lets the pressure get out the head cover of engine. The pressure is sent to the exhaust. Near the air filter, on the driver side, there is a breather element. This breather connect the head cover to the air filter hose. While the PCV valve let the pressure get out, the breather let the air get in. Is this right?. I do not understand when you say this filter is used to prevent excessive oil. 2.Have you ever done valve lash adjustment for your car. If you have this video, can you share with us?
Hi! I have a question for anyone who can help me out. I don't know too much about cars but I started noticing my car is making a weird sound like its ticking I'm wondering if this could be a possible spark plug issue? Its a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
Thanks Dan!!!! Just tuned up my Galant and it was a breeze!! I'm NEVER paying the mechanic for a tune up again!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!
The only pcv valve location video I could find on this car 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 enjoyable to watch also

You're welcome!
Exactly, not much info out there to fix Outlanders, thanks for the videos.
Nice and relaxing how to video Dan! Simple and efficient!
Really nice video, so helpful! thanks to you I was able to fix my 2.4 L200 (very similar layout) no problems at all!
Thank you for the Video! Don't get me wrong, mechanics deserve to get paid for their services, but they are ass out if I can save money and do it myself. Thumbs up for the music as well! :)
Podrías hacer un vídeo limpiando la válvula egr?
Awesome Video and good reference links Thanks !!!
You're welcome
Thanks nice video
.....your video helped me in changing spark plugs for my lancer
You're welcome
@ Michelle Henry-Brown. I'm not so sure. Your 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander is the second generation Mitsubishi Outlander. Mine is the first generation
Simply well done!!!
Awesome Video! Thank you Dan!
helllokitty138 You're welcome
Thanks for your comment. I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander
Cool, excellent instructional vid!

Who can tell the calibration of the spark plug?
was this a 4 cylinder or a 6? if a 6 where are the other 2? I have a 2007 model and I am trying to figure out how to change the missing 3 as only 3 are visible. Any clue where I can go to see this done?
Will this work the same on a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander? Trying to decide whether to attempt this myself or take to mechanic.
Great video, this was very helpful. Also, I like the music. What is it?
@ Outy mitsubishi-forums. "Good job on the "How to"!!! I think PCV needs a 14mm wrench. Metric all the way" .... Thank you for your comments

The PCV valve is a control device which sends partially burned gases that come from the engine's crankcase to the combustion chamber. Its name, PCV means Positive Crankcase Ventilation
so there might be partially unburnt gas in engine's crankcase not the valve cover?

What are signs of failed PCV valve?. Tks for sharing.

could u list all the tools in the comments? thanks
Do you have to replace the coils or not?@Dan Vo
The coils has no issue at all. I was not replace them. Thanks
ok cool... but will they need to be replace in the long run
larpt23 No doubt about that but at 208.000 km my Outlander still go strong error free
*note that to check the spark plugs gap size. They should be between .07mm to .08mm

Thanks a lot!
Thanks for add on
Thanks you!!!!!

Buena me ayudo a cambiar la válvula
Thanks!!
You're welcome
Thanks
You're welcome
Классное видео! Мы тоже обзоры снимаем. Зацените..
ممكن سؤال هل محرك اسونس ولا ومزط
محرك الغاز
You forgot anti-seize compound on those plug threads!!
such sad music for a spark plug replacement
This is how to fix your car !
