2006 Mitsubishi Galant Won't go over 1500 rpm when in gear. What's wrong?
Won't go over 1500 rpm when in gear. What's wrong?
What is your question?
I had my timing belt snap last November and that bent the head and she was out of commision until about a month ago. We got a new head and gasket, but now that it's in, a few seconds after I start her up, she bogs down and idles at about 850rpm or just shuts off completely. When I put it in gear, even with the pedal to the floor, I only get a little more than 1500rpm and she barely moves at all. I've checked for vacuum leaks and I haven't found a one of em, though we do hear a hiss when I give it full gas in gear. Any advice on where to look and how to check for the problem is very welcome because we are at a loss. Thank you.

It gets worse as the car heats up
How long has your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Many variables here and it will be difficult to diagnose online without looking at it. I would start by checking for codes to see if anything is current like a throttle issue. If there aren't any codes and there are no vacuum leaks then check for fuel pressure.
