Can anyone help! I have a sonsor held on by two screws which sits behind the throttle linkage on my engine which used to have a rubber plunger on which has now perished and fell off. Can anyone help in telling me what this sensor is called and what it does and also were i can buy a new one from.
Thanks in advance

Hi Matey
The only thing i can think of is a cold start advance valve,now until the other day i didn't know they eisted on a diesel engine but I've been reliably informed (through pocuk forum member)that they do have them,now not knowing what one looks like as i say I'm only guessing,I've checked the haynes manual for the pajero and the russek manual too and they both show it but don't say what it is,apparently this cold start advance thingy is a wax type unit and advances the throttle position on the pump to allow higher revs until the engine has warmed sufficiently similar i suppose to a choke on a petrol engine,now i havnt a clue where you would get one altho I'm thinking it would be a main dealer part providing you can get it propperly identified,I'm sure if you printed the picture of and took it to the local dealer and ask them to compare it with a schematic that they can pull up on there screen it should identify it with a part number,ile try and ask at my local dealer as they have full net access and ask him if he can view it and possibly find out what it is (it will be if he has any time spare Wink

)ile keep on thinking about it tho,have you noticed anything any different with the engine running at all or has all been fine?anyway hope that helps atb

Hi marc,
Great to hear you are at the rescue again. Thanks for bringing my picture up as i didn't know how to do it. I don't have a manual choke on my Deli. But i have noticed that the engine revs don't increase when the Deli is started.Thanxs for pointing this out to me. Come to think about it.It is probably an automatic choke as for were it is located. I have checked the www and cannot find anything. I will try and have a word with the dealer on Thursday as i pass there with the lorry.
Cheers again Marc Laughing

Hi Richard
The switch in the photo looks like the kick-down switch for the auto box. it works on throtle posistion(thats why its adjustable back and fowards on the slots) My one broke a couple of years ago, I managed to take it off and modified a plastic number plate screw to fit in where the plunger used to be.I was lucky as it had not fallen off completely so I had a pattern to work to, for length etc.
So when driving your Delica and you put your foot right down does the gearbox kick down if not then it is the switch.
don't know how much a new one would be (same as the pajero)could be worth finding out.
hope this may help Nick :D

Hi nick,
Yes i seem to have a problem with the gearbox kicking up or down. This must be the cause,
Cheers mate
Will have to try and find the real name for it then find a source to purchase one.
Thanks again
Richard

A local diesel specialist should be able to help out, they'll probably identify the switch and get one cheaper than a main dealer.

Hi John,
To be honest i have done nothing as yet as the Deli seems to kick up and down okay. Many people seem to think that its something to do with the airconditioning unit. I am still scratching my head Rolling Eyes

. As soon as i get time i will run her into mitsubishi to see if they can tell me what it is. As soon as i get to know what it is i will post it up for everyone to see. If you manage to find out what the switch is let me know.
cheers Richard Laughing

I have been looking at the wiring diagrams supplied with the manual from the club, but it shows none of the air con wiring or the potentiometer on the fuel pump. In fact there are a few things missing off the diagram.

If you can't find out if the switch is NC or NO, I can check mine and let you know, but not until Thursday evening.
