Ask Smithy Xtra Mitsubishi 380 VRX start-up

Asked by James

I'm having trouble starting my 2007 Mitsubishi 380 VRX, the starter motor turns the engine over strongly, but some times it takes five or six attempts to start.

You need to establish if the problem is fuel or spark. Check that the fuel pressure is correct, but I would focus on the spark side and make sure the coils, leads and plugs are ok, and check the crank angle sensor.
