Default Help please

Hi all my dad has a mitsubishi 3000 gto which was tuned 3 years ago and supposed to had new belts . filters. fuel pump.

been driving perfectly although a tiny bit rich since it was done. now 2 days ago drove to work fine then on the way home 20 minutes into the drive went to put my foot down and the car was spluttering/missing and wouldnt go for it . then i noticed the management light came on. drove it normal for a while and eventually the light came off and the car felt normal again then went to drive it with some more throttle and it came back on again and engine went rough again. way home stayed like it and still like it now and is the same now.

its now idles very low . and if you put your foot down it splutters and will sometimes pop.

someone said it could be fuel pump?

it seemed weird that when the light went off on 2 occasions the car went back to feeling normal again untill certain throttle

I think it's a fuel pump. I still suggest you try some Mitsi forum. This forum is not for any better car than Subaru hence the lack of response.

Other than that, people here may think that you're a random troll (I say random, because we do have some regular trolls here as well) because you aren't supposed to just barge in, and start asking for help. You have to start with being nice to us lot here; get slated; post pictures of your pets; slate others, and then you get some recognition here before you start asking strange questions.

Good luck.

Run a diagnostic check to see what fault was logged

Or just start throwing random parts at it.

Start with the basics lol
