Is it worth investigating (the dealer says it will take several hours to just determine the problem), or should I just trade in the car? the following error codes: p0302 - cylinder 2 misfire, p0304 - cylinder 4 misfires, p0440 - Evap emission control sys. malfunction, p1436 hvac asystem variable valve open malfunction, p3190 poor engine power, c1213 - hv system comm cct., c1241 - low battery positive or abnormally high positive, p1253 - hydro booster purge motor relay, c1259 - hv sys. regenerative malfunction. I was able to restart the car, but there was no power, only went 40km/hr did not want to push it.
Yes it may take several hours to evaluate the problem with so much of codes.
But at last it may be a simple fix.
Ask him for an estimate to check the problem.If its too costly just trade in your car.
I dont hink it will be too costly to just evaluate the problem.
Problem can be caused by one simple sensor or bad alternator your trouble codes doesnt show that your vehicle is terminal it hicupped and caused a chain reaction

Very dificult to diagnose without testing. I might suspect it could be a intake sensor - there are several. Or might be the ECM or ECU aka main computer..I would sugest taking to a shop and have it plugged in to get the error code(s). Some times if the ECM or ECU is failing it will not produce a error code. Hope this helps !
I had a similar problem with my Santa Fe. It occurred intermittently but after I turned the steering wheel to the left. After much screwing around by the dealer and trying to baffle me with BS we heard about a strange solution. I am not a mechanic but the problem somehow related to a spring in the Airbag on the steering wheel. Changed the spring and "Stone the flame'n crows" problem solved. Never had a problem since.
STALLING IS USUALLY, CONTAMINANTS IN THE FUEL. CHANGE UR BRAND OF GAS, TEXACO FOR SHELL....PROBABLY A BAD BATCH. FILL THE TANK UP AND ADD A GOOD QUALITY GAS TREATMENT, LIKE STP. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOTTLE. ALSO A PLUGGED FUEL FILTER. THE FUEL FILTER IS PROBABLY ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK. IF THATS THE CASE, ITS A TRIP TO THE MECHANIC.
Providing that all sensors on the new engine match what you had on old one, You must match the computer to the vehicle it's in. (the computer for my 91 will not run my 95, but the 95 will operate the 91, even though both units appear to be identical) Most scrapyards and parts dealers, have a list of what fits what. Unless the motor you swapped in was a known good one, I would also suspect a possible problem such as a worn timing chain, but definitely would not investigate that 'till you have the correct control system in place. If your old computer was "fried" you must also determine the cause of that condition before putting a new one in, or you could damage that one too.
could simply be your battery is about to die and the voltage is getting too low.
if the engine light is going on then take it to a mitsubishi dealer and they can read the stored error code.
