Owners of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer report their vehicles idling unevenly and experiencing sudden jumps in rpms. The event has been reported for both CVT and manual transmissions. Mitsubishi issued a TSB to address the problem, citing a computer error that required the re-progRamming of the vehicle's ECU. Other common reasons why the Lancer may idle roughly include vacuum leaks stemming from the idle air control valve or a d***y throttle body. The throttle position sensor often needs replacement on high mileage Lancers as well and will generate a slow or uneven idle, poor acceleration, a loss of engine power, stalling and the inability to upshift. The average cost of replacing the TBS in a Mitsubishi Lancer ranges from $330-$450 in parts and labor.
