Please what is GDi technology all about? @GAZZUZZ

PLEASE HELP!
My Mitsubishi space wagon GDI has been giving me problems since the beginning of this year. All starting when the timing belt cut. My mechanic told me that it has affected the top cylinder. So I decided to buy another engine; since then, the car cannot start and my mechanic suggested I should buy another brain box which I did and still nothing happened so he suggested buying another and to change everything concerning the brain box with the kick.
Please, how can this car be fixed without resorting to buying another new engine or other brain box?

My Mitsubishi space wagon GDI 2000 whose timing belt got cut on motion, My mechanic told me that it has affected the top cylinder, and as it was smoking earlier i decided to buy another half and top engine; and the car tries to start but could not be accelerated and my mechanic suggested electrical correction.
The Electrician had tried rectifying this issue but complained that current could get to the plugs but refused to get to the fuel injectors to supply fuel into the engine, thereby further suggested i should visit the local parts dealers to get another brain box, the fuel supply mini gadget that looks like brain box in the engine,the code at the key and other electrical mini components from either an accident space wagon before the motor could start.
Please what is your advise.

@ op was that car scanned at all. Thats one common problem with Mistibushi GDI. Another quick one here. How did he arrive at the conclusion to get another ECU? Did he perform series of test that could cause a car not to start. A whole lot needs to be checked. From spark, to fuel pump, to noozles, to crank sensor to cam sensors etc. Now as for the crank sensor you don't have it externally positioned. The crank case must be removed to access the crank sensor. But would just advice you scan the car first. Am nt sure if your car has a transponder chip but if it does. The new ecu needs to be programmed and the key needs to be realigned before your car starts

Crankcase: In an internal combustion engine of the reciprocating type, the crankcase is the housing for the crankshaft. The enclosure forms the largest cavity in the engine and is located below the cylinder(s), which in a multicylinder engine are usually integrated into one or several cylinder blocks. Crankcases have often been discrete parts, but more often they are integral with the cylinder bank(s), forming an engine block. Nevertheless, the area around the crankshaft is still usually called the crankcase. Crankcases and other basic engine structural components (e.g., cylinders, cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and integrated combinations thereof) are typically made of cast iron or cast aluminium via sand casting. Today the foundry processes are usually highly automated, with a few skilled workers to manage the casting of thousands of parts.

A crankcase often has an opening in the bottom to which an oil pan is attached with a gasketed bolted joint. Some crankcase designs fully surround the crank's main bearing journals, whereas many others form only one half, with a bearing cap forming the other. Some crankcase areas require no structural strength from the oil pan itself (in which case the oil pan is typically stamped from sheet steel), whereas other crankcase designs do (in which case the oil pan is a casting in its own right). Both the crankcase and any rigid cast oil pan often have reinforcing ribs cast into them, as well as bosses which are drilled and tapped to receive mounting screws/bolts for various other engine parts.

Besides protecting the crankshaft and connecting rods from foreign objects, the crankcase serves other functions, depending on engine type. These include keeping the motor oil contained, usually hermetically or nearly hermetically (and in the hermetic variety, allowing the oil to be pressurized); providing the rigid structure with which to join the engine to the transmission; and in some cases, even constituting part of the frame of the vehicle (such as in many farm tractors).

What's your location. Just to prove a point to your mech, I can help you start the vehicle without charging you but you must tow it down here. We've done over 30 GDI Mitsubishi with same issue.

The other guy with no acceleration. It's the throttle actuator but pls change the complete throttle body. Cost just 9k.

Those Mitsubishi GDI ehh.

*note. I'm not a fan of solutions without proper diagnostics but this has become a daily fix.

Jst joined here and glad you guys talked about this car. My Mitsubishi space wagon GDI automatic trans 1998 model starts but will not raise or accelerate, engine goes off if gear is changed to D, it's been scanned but the computer didn't detect even the car at all. Fuel pump changed, throttle body thoroughly clean. Please helppppppp

Kablooe, where are you located.

D car is at Ado, Ekiti state. The nearest servicing cfao is at lagos

samuelfalodun:
Hi guys, I'm still on d Mitsubishi GDI space wagon, all efforts to move this car is futile since it won't accelerate,

web1123:
I just want to know the location of the engineer that is giving us advice about the GDI and hard starting issues. My own is same problem hard starting and it will take long before starting, sometimes battery will drain I have to hire battery to start it. Plz my location is ijegun ikotun area. Send me your location so that I can bring the car for proper fix or send me WhatsApp at 08180632289

Thank you. I really need to fix the car. I need your address.

Do people still drive Mitsubishi?
