Hey guys! I'm Jay from Acworth, GA (NW of Atlanta by about 25 miles.) My Montero is the dd and it just keeps kicking. 208k and has its issues but hasnt stranded me yet, knock on wood. Of course my valve stem seals are toast and it smokes like a chimney but its still blast! I had a 400 hp 1991 Galant VR-4 for 3 years before my 911 and that car made me become a mechanic but also addicted me to Mitsus.

I have had the surging power issue where its not just at idle but while you're driving the revs/ lights pulse even when crusing. I made a giant ground strap and cleaned my IAC, MAF and also capped the vent in the intake to stop any new oil from entering in there. Before the idle would periodically drop to around 500 rpm and after the cleaning its back around 750. Hopefully that fixes it or I can assume its the ecu. So far so good this afternoon but any extra suggestions would be great. I'll post back in this thread if I run into anything else.



Looking forward to the help and I already picked up a ton of tips from the board already from searching.
