This is a problem i have had from day one. Sometimes when the car gets warm and i stop at lights ie. idle it revs hi low, hi low, until i take off again!
Then when i am driving it jerks and flats spots.
I have done a litte research and i am getting told to replace the stepper motor, because i have cleaned it and reset the ecu and it still does it.
Can any one offer any advice??? Thanks guys!

where did you get the stepper motor, did you get it at Mitsubishi spare parts or at any spare parts place.

get a brand new replacement one... from a dealer(?) or some place that can order em... the new ones are made of ceramic instead of metal and so dont heat up and destroy themselves
