Parts for your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer-Fuel injectors

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors are absolutely relevant to the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. Technical references including the Mitsubishi Lancer factory service manual for CH/CS models (covering 2000–2007), the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, and the Haynes Repair Manual for Mitsubishi Lancer 2002–2011 confirm that the 1.8L, 2.0L and 2.4L petrol engines (4G93/4G94/4G69, including MIVEC variants) use electronic multi‑point fuel injection with individual injectors at the intake ports.

On this Lancer, the fuel injectors meter and atomise petrol into each cylinder’s intake runner. Controlled by the ECU, they deliver just the right amount of fuel for smooth starts, crisp throttle response and decent economy. When they’re healthy, the car idles cleanly, pulls well through the rev range and keeps emissions in check.

Over time, injectors can pick up varnish or fine deposits, or their O‑rings can harden. Common signs of trouble include rough idle, hard starting (hot or cold), misfires under load, poor fuel economy and a strong fuel smell. A scan tool may show lean/rich trims, cylinder‑specific misfire codes or injector circuit faults.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to:

• Run quality petrol and, occasionally, a reputable injector cleaner to help prevent build‑up.
• Check for vacuum and intake leaks first
