Vehicle
Mitsubishi 3000GT
Sold as GTO in Japan and rebadged as the Dodge Stealth in America, all one car built in Nagoya. The VR-4 is where the complexity lives: twin turbochargers, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics and electronically controlled suspension, on a car from before any of that was routine — so a fault on one is usually a hydraulic or actuator fault in a system nothing else on the road has, not an engine fault. The 6G72 V6 itself is a conventional belt-driven engine shared with a great many other Mitsubishis, which is where its documentation is.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
