What things have gone wrong with the car: | Good day all. I'm new here and new to the Pajero's , I hope you can help as I'm in Botswana (Francistown) and good help is hard to find here. I just got a 1997 Pajero 3.5 GDI SWB. 1. As I drove the car is was pulling good (very strong) up to 4000 RPM then lost power but will rev up tp 6000 RPM. I then decided to do the following , Oil, Oil filter , fuel filter and air filter. After doing this (The basics ) the car would start but not idle. If I push the accelerator it would start and idle up to 2000 RPM but will not rev up. The engine light started to flash. I disconnected the battery to see if it would reset the light. This worked but then the car will idle (Now and then) but will not rev more than 3000 RPM . I could not get 100% the correct fuel filter so I assumed it could be a flow problem and I have put the old filter back. After doing this the same problem accrued with no idle. I then removed the throttle body with the butterfly motor and sensor on the opposite side. I cleaned everything marking where everything goes and re assemble and fit to car. Problem was still there. I then looked at the pump in the tank and found this to be new but tank was dirty. I removed the tank and rinsed it out and refitted. Same problem. Then I notice that if I get the car started and I touch the brake (Lights on only) I hear a knocking sound and the car wants to die. I found a solenoid under the Throttle body with a white cone opening and closing . If I disconnect the plug the car does not wat to start at all. Please advice and any comments are welcome. Thank you |
