Mitsubishi Triton 4D56 Hard Starting MiracleMAX
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2018
- It can be a real struggle to get out of bed in the mornings when it is sub-zero temperatures.
This Mitsubishi Triton feels the same way. For some time now, the customer has complained that the Mitsi just doesn’t want to start when it is cold. In fact, he has even had to jump start it on a number of occasions to get it going!
What’s the problem? Follow along and see....

Thanks Max i have a Triton and this was a great segment. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it Geoffrey! 😁
Thank you for this
Awesome work
You are welcome Andrew Grant.
I hope you got some benefit from the video.
There are heaps more Triton repair videos on the channel that might interest you. 😉

Good job, Mark. That engine must have pretty good compression to start with only one good glow plug. But I don't have much experience with diesels I didn't know that it got that cold in Australia.
It was minus 10 degrees C last year and in the summer we had plus 40 degrees C. So it is a great testing ground for faulty glow plugs. :)
Good job. My L200 has started having the same issue this winter.
So have you looked at your glow plugs?
MiracleMAX
@@MiracleMAX not yet. I think I will get it done next week as it is booked in for the timing belt change.
@@XIXjlo Great! Let us know how the repair turns out 😊
Hi Max, I’m having the same problem with my Triton, I have recently brought it to the dealership to get fixed three times now. They have changed the fuel filter, the glow plugs and gasket manifold on the right. They said it’s okay for it to take around 5 cranks to start on the first go in the morning when it’s cold. This doesn’t seem right to me. When the car is hot it’s fine it starts straight away. Any advice would help. Thanks.
Awesome job. Pity you’re not closer, I’d give you my no start Renault Tragic to play with lol.
Hey Dave O,
I'm always up for a challenge, but am located in NSW
Yea like the work
Cheers Mate, Thanks 😉
Hi Max, did you change them without pulling of all the other stuff?
All the items that I removed in the video I found necessary to access the glow plugs
Hi max great job!i own a2009 trriton i had my header replaced recently and now i find cooland in the oil i dont use the car but still the cooland leaks inside the engine i would apriciate your opinion on this i can only suspect a
cracked engine block
Hey Giannis Tzimos ,
Why was the header replaced? Do you mean the exhaust manifold or inlet manifold? What engine model is in it?
@@MiracleMAX its an 4d56u it had a blown head gasket and a cracked head
@@giannistzimos7685 Was the head replacement new? Was the engine block checked for straightness? Can you pressure test the cooling system & see the pressure drop or is it only when the engine is hot & running? Can you remove the glow plugs when it's pressure tested & look with an inspection camera to see which cylinder it is?
@@MiracleMAX the head was new and the mechanic told me he checked the block but i am not sure he did.i will do what you told me and see wat happens! thanks for helping me.i am watching all your videos you re helping a lot!
@@giannistzimos7685 I hope it goes well for your and you find the culprit!
where are you located ?
I want to bring my 2013 Diesel Triton to you
I'm in NSW. You can contact me via Email miraclemax3@hotmail.com
Hi max ,I’m having the same problem with my triton, I have recently brought it to the dealership to get fixed three times now . They changed the fuel filter , the glow plugs and gasket, manifold on the right . They said it’s okay for it to take around 5 cranks to start on the first go in the morning when it’s cold . This doesn’t seem right to me when the car is hot it’s fine it’s starts straight away . Any advice would help thanks
Hey Pascal Teles,
I would start with the basics. That would include the battery and starter. Here are a few videos where I have had similar issues. There are quite a few Triton videos on the channel, so feel free to check them out.

A few questions:
Is the glow plug system working correctly? Has it been tested or just had the glow plugs replaced?
Are there any fault codes?
Has a full diagnostic scan of all modules been carried out?
Has a full test of the battery, starter & alternator been carried out?
How old is the battery?
Are there any voltage drops from the battery to the starter motor?
Does it blow smoke when it starts up when cold?
How many kilometres has the engine done?
Hopefully you can get to the bottom of this
MiracleMAX
@@MiracleMAX thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The dealership said the did all testing and I paid for a full diagnostic scan. It does blow white smoke and the it goes away. The battery was only just replaced and they didn’t mention testing the starter or the alternator but they said think nothing is wrong with the car but I don’t agree. The car has done 160k and has full service history all done at the dealership. I have watched all of your videos it’s really helpful.
@@pascalteles1640 These do have some issues with injectors, even at low Kms.

Has a Small Injection Quantity Relearn been done at any stage?
th-cam.com/video/Z6_ru3XxO20/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MiracleMAX
@@MiracleMAX they did a 2 hour diagnostic inspection and they changed the gasket, egr value and pipe, the second time they confirmed leaking injectors r/r and said it tested all ok.
@@pascalteles1640 Did you say they replaced the injectors?
👍
Thanks Pascal Teles
Good day. Maybe you know why not working check indicates light abs and esp on L200? But abs and esp is working. Sorry for my English
Welcome to the channel. Can you tell me what you mean by your vehicle is not working? Does the engine crank? Does it start? What engine model & year is your L200? Exactly what fault codes did you get?
Mitsubishi L200 2007, engine 4D56.
th-cam.com/video/c_yG46YjnlA/w-d-xo.html
I have not fault codes
@@user-oc4br4fo5v Have you tested the glow plugs as shown in the video? The engine seems to be starting on only a few cylinders correctly
Hi max. The same problem on my Triton hard start and can't rev above 3000 rpm. What do you think causes this?
Hey value guard,
There are many reasons why you could be having hard starting issues, including faulty glow plugs, starter issues, weak battery, incorrect compression, leaky injectors and the list goes on.
Do you have access to a scan tool so you can provide me with some data?
If it won't rev above 3000 RPM, this could indicate a blocked exhaust, EGR issues, blocked DPF or a faulty MAF sensor or a turbo problem.
I hope that gives you some direction to diagnose your vehicle correctly.

link to battery tester?
Hey Carlos
The battery tester is an Autool BT-360. Just search that for the one I use. There are later models, but more expensive. I like the fact that you can do a battery test, starter test and alternator test, all with the same tool. At the college where I teach, we have a much more expensive one, but as far as I am concerned, harder to use and not as efficient. I have had this one for about 2 years and never had any trouble with it.

@@MiracleMAX Thank you! Question, My triton glow plugs were just replaced by japan compatible ones, when starting at the morning a short bunch of white smoke its observed, any idea what could cause this?
@@porrascarlos80 Hey Carlos,
Usually white smoke indicates unburnt fuel. One other thing to consider is coolant in the combustion process? Is it losing any coolant?
With the white smoke, several things need to be checked. Even though the glow plugs were replaced, is the ECU operating the plugs correctly? Is the turbo operating correctly? Are the intercooler and hoses airtight? Are there any vacuum leaks in the intake system? Is the EGR valve working within specs? Does the EGR valve have a blanking plate fitted?
How many Kms has this vehicle done?
Are the cylinder compressions within specs?
Is there a build-up of carbon in the intake system?
That might be a few things to consider.
Thanks for your comments
MiracleMAX
@@MiracleMAX thanks two days ago intake was cleaned a lot of carbon removed. Egr and inyectors recently cleaned. This white smoke its only seen when starting the car in the mornigs around 18 grades centigrades. I will check the hoses.
@@porrascarlos80 Is there any coolant loss?
