[QUOTE="vroommm, post: 82969, member: 2957"] Hi, I'm driving a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer MX with its original DOHC engine. The car used to clock good mileage but over the past few months the fuel consumption is just too much. Previously it was doing approx 380-400 km on a full tank but now I barely notch 250km when its fuelled up. My local mechanic told me to go to Mitsubishi Service Centre at Jln Ipoh to get the car "tuned up", clean some parts such as the fuel injector etc but the thing is I couldn't even find the website/address from the net. Not really interested to turn the car into a high performance vehicle; just wished that I could rectify the fuel consumption problem by doing some servicing/cleaning up relevant parts. Maybe some of you could help me out, in case that you know any reliable workshop that does this at a reasonable price. I guess the workshop need to at least have an MUT etc for tuning up the car's ECU. Or maybe someone could suggest what possible steps should I do to cure this problem?? If anybody knows the relevant workshop that could do this for me near PJ area, that will be xcellent. Do appreciate if anyone could give me some hints on this. Thanks anyways .Drive safely. [/QUOTE]
