Gummed up much!Guessing it has a severely restricted manifold.

I don't know the first thing about those motors but I can tell you other some other cars are known to do that if they have a faulty crank or cam sensor. Might be worth a google along those lines to see if the symptoms match etc if nothing else comes to light.
Did this happen all of a sudden or did it get progressively worse!

Surely either of those faults would bring up thecheck engine light! I know the fault OP mentioned doesn't as i have experienced it with another mitsi vehicle, but who knows!

I fixed a mates one in the weekend with similar problems that you describe the magnets in the throttle body had come unstuck off the shaft I cleaned the throttle body and re glued it up runs like a gem now

Ssshhh thats the fix that Mitsubishi dealers don't want people to know!When you look at one in bits its a seriously crap design on the part of Mikuni isn't it fatmat.

if it is a fly by wire ( no throttle cable ) it probably has an etv problem.(electronic throtttle valve ) Mitsubishi nz sell r eco ones through their used parts department.
