Ok i just got back from a 2 month visit to WI and when i got back i drove my car up to get some gas. on the way to the gfs house my speedometer went down to zero. then i noticed when i came up to stopsigns or lights my car shot down to .1 rpm when i put it in nuetral. i got to the gfs and decided to drive some more to see wut was up.. it was doin the same thing and when i pulled up to the stopsign it died on me 2 times.. any help on wut the problem might be? id also like to add that i had a different motor put in with 70k miles on it, a new alternator, new relays, new battery, new fuel pump. all which the mechanic sayed i needed. i found this page which sounds exactly like my problem but not sure how to find find/ fix the tranny computer. Any help please?

probably a speed sensor for the speedo problem and a ring of carbon inside the throttle body this can be cleaned with a can of carb cleaner and a copper bristled brush after cleaning the throttle body be sure to clean the passage for the constant idle motor[the hole that bypasses air around the throttle blade] good luck

welll u havn't driven your car for 2 months... do an oil change...put full synthetic oil not just regular oil. then drive it for a while like for half an hour. keep revving the car until you hit the red line... but don't push it too much. cars act weird when they have not been run for a while especially with mitsubishi. you have to run the engine at least once every 2 weeks, just even turning on the enigine... as far as the speedometer.. you might need to replace it... good luck.

I have a 3000GT and just had to replace the Idle Speed Control because it would idle funny and die at a stop. It's really easy to replace yourself, but the part is $145. Not sure if that is it, but it might be something to look into.
