I'm driving 2007 3.2 DiD BK GLX LWB Auto (replaced new engine 92k in 2012) at this moment on 187300km.
1.) The last 5 weeks or so battle with the performance of the engine. While driving the gears between 2-3-4 struggle to kick in and need to assist gonging over on trip-tronic to do manual shift (or do quick reset) to see if shifting automatically.
1. A) Did manage to take the car in to Mitsubishi Witbank. The mechanic took it for a test drive - if he pull away in ease the car will <censored> gear faster without going over 2500 rpm and if he pull away fast the car will reprogram itself to go in sport mode as the revs will go over 4000rpm and gear will take long to shift.
The mechanic indicated that the return-valve (valve that open extra "exhaust" fumes to force power-band) don't open (did take it to Bosch that they can fix but tested in working condition at 15Bars) thereafter Mitsubishi re-align the injectors (did feel bit of difference).
Few weeks after…
2)While driving, need extra power (put foot down) as it feel if engine lacking, or if needed to go over a hill (high slope) no power at all and if going to trip-tronic to gear down no power at all / over revving then need to change to higher gear. It's bad if the slowest car pass you on a small slope!!!
Not too sure if any of you had a similar problem and what was the outcome.

Yes seems more or less the same as my problem. What is the vehicle like now when pulling away from a robot ? Is it about normal pulling away and just the performance on the open road that you can really tell something is wrong ?
I have not had a chance to change the fuel filter yet (playing with the new trailer) as I want to eliminate it as a possible problem. I do notice a sensor on the top of the fuel filter housing (not the water one at the bottom) and presume this might be a sensor that warns if the filter becomes restricted - any comment?. I know the Toyotas have one.
So it looks like about six of us that are keen on the dyno test. I will see what the owner of the dyno has to say.

I'm taking along chance now, but maybe worthwhile investigating. The symptoms sound like fuel starvation when needed.
I had a similar experience on one of my previous vehicles (not a Pajero) which caused me to push/start/ blow back the clog and drive a few kilo's and repeat the process many times. It took me a day to drive from Laingsburg to Beaufort west.
Check the filter/suction line inside the fuel tank. Dirt can sometimes clog together (forms a gel)and with the vacuum/ draught from the engine side, obstructs the fuel line. As the engine starves, the vacuum is released and the clog moves away from the intake, only to obstruct the line later again.

Phillip, you make an interesting point here. I think this might be the second thing I check after the fuel filter and before the SCV, depending on comment here from others. I read up elsewhere about someone experiencing fuel supply problems, I think it was on a Gen3. Evidently the fuel tank has an internal coating that can come loose and clog the pick up. Also the bottom of the tank can dent and restrict the flow of the pick up. I know there is no pump at the pick up but I believe there is a type of filter. The post I read was on a LWB and the cover under the back seat gives access to the fuel tank pick up, on top of the fuel tank. Anyone opened the fuel pick up on a SWB?
Now I am also thinking, that with the fuel suction coming from the pump on the engine, and if that sensor on top of the fuel filter is for a restricted fuel filter, then technically anywhere from the fuel filter back to the tank that causes a restriction, should activate the sensor (that is, if that sensor is actually for the filter restriction). Can anyone comment?

Hello Guys
You never mention about the DPF ?
I had similar occurences as You described in Your various posts, but it all ended when I finally decjded to change the DPF which was the cause of poor reaction of the 3,2 engine, and of a higher fuel consumption.
Of course You can take it off and clean by Yourself since this part is quite onerous, but once changed, the Pajero is a monster again

As far as my research goes it seems that the Pajero 3.2 in South Africa never came with the DPF system fitted, possibly due to our more sulphur rich diesel. Thus not to blame.
Lets just get this straight from my side. The gen4 2007-2009 is under discussion here. Codenamed NS in Australia. It 'feels' less torque than the NP model it replaced. So far this has been a subjective 'feel'. No technical facts to proof. It still goes well, I am sure someone not used to the gen3 NM/NP performance might not notice it, but to the well travelled Pajero owner it definately feel less responsive. Doing a dyno day with a few examples and possibly a few gen3 as well for comparison would be very interesting. Gen4 is actually lighter than the gen3 it replaced due to aluminium bonnet etc, so even if same engine performance than before, it should drive better.
