Why does my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer bog down when accelerating?

I’ve unfortunately been feeling noticeable hesitation from my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer’s engine when I’m trying to accelerate. It’s been a great car until now, what would be bogging down the engine?

If your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer bogs down when accelerating, it’s likely because of an improper fuel/air mixture in the engine. This could be due to:
  • Fuel pump issues
  • Dirty fuel injectors
  • Failing airflow sensors
To know for sure what is causing this issue for your Mitsubishi, it will be best to visit a certified mechanic.
