Just to let people know that I didnt forget. I took like 8 different pics of the sensor and mount, I am just waiting to finish the rest of the roll of film so that I can go get it developed and post it up here. I am going to Vegas tomorrow for a day and I am SURE I will use it there. So I will have all the pics we need on Friday.

 

I sorry these suck so bad and that is took so long to get up here. But these will at least let you see it ia different than the old MAS used in the Lancer.

 

Oh my GOD the disposable camera I used SUCKS ***!!! lets try a different one.

 

here is another picture that came out like crap

 

bahamut is right on this one. looks like a MAP sensor.

thanks for taking pics mitsu. i really appreciate the help. looks like someone at Road/Race found your camera, hehehe...

 

Nope man, I went and bought a piece of crap disposable camera so I could take these again and post em for you guys.

 

Merci beaucoup.

Ya, when you take pics on a reg, low end, camera, pics tend to look nasty. Digi cams on the middle end of technology can improve the quality of pics to 85%. Then, with paint shop pro or any other pic editting program, it starts to look +90% better.

To make sure that's it's 100% conclusive on our assumption, can you take a pic in front of the circular housing, just like Rhyzin had done? I gotta go back and look at the 1.5L engines.

 

I'm having some second thoughts as being a MAP sensor after looking at a 1.5L (G15) and 1.6L MIVEC (G92) and taking a gander at the dealership.

It might be hotwire since it looks like GM's V8's, Ford Contours' SVT 6 banger, my past 240sx, and the Endeavor's 3.8L. BTW, the Endeavor uses the same part # as the RA. I need to confirm it again when I have the time to look at the diamante 3.5L.

Also, the 3g eclipse GTS uses even a slightly bigger MAF w/ the smaller pin plug. Its model # is 382 (not 100% sure. I was trying remember a bunch of parts # in a short amont of time). It makes about +10 HP over the GT model.

 

interesting. always figured that the two temp sensor wires in a hotwire setup have to be a little bit further apart and longer. there should also be something to straighten out the air before going in. on shut down, a hotwire sensor heats up to 1000 degrees F to clean off any debris. if it is hotwire, it's much different than any i've seen. but then again, it's not that many

 

On my pat 240, there is a metal tube that holds the sensor. I never unplugged it to take a closer look.

Basically, the hotwire system look like a tonsil within the intake tube.

If you have the time, go to a salvage yard. There should be enough dead 240's . . . take out the metal intake tube. You'll see the hotwire system.

When I go back to pick up my DSM parts from the dealership, I'll ask any mechanics if it's hotwire or not.

 

shop manual says it's a "heat sensitizing" sensor. i would assume that's a hotwire setup. mystery solved.

 

one mystery solved being hotwire . . . wow, Mitsu put some new technoly that I didn't really expect.

The next Q: diameter size. Next, start follow the lead that the nissan 240's and lesser models have upgraded their hotwire to either the 300ZXT or 'Stang Cobra. Controlled only by S-AFC, need no translator program.
