Does anyone know where to find the small three-sided retaining clips that hold some of the electrical connections together? Specifically I am trying to find the clip the holds the connection at the throttle position sensor. Any insight would be appreciated!

 

Junk Yard. Mitsu does not sell them seperate IIRC. If not you can make your own w/paperclips

 

Ah, I was afraid of that. I'll see if I can track one down at my local autoyard. What have others done?...I can't be the only butter fingers on the forum.

 

To update this thread, RussellM confirmed that you cannot buy the clip on its own. You can however get a clip from 3SX (3000GT/Stealth parts) for 3 bucks shipped. Here is the link: http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_vi...dProduct=29222

I confirmed that the "big" clip works perfectly on the Evo TPS.

 

Thanks for that. I lost mine today while pulling my throttle body. It is in the engine bay, or in the grass. I don't think I am going to find it either way.

 

check with STM they sell a bunch of that stock stuff

Thanks for that!

I bought a car and the person who put the motor in never even put one back on. Yeah, none on any injectors or any other sensors!

 

Man, this thread just saved me a huge problem as well. My TPS clip was missing as well (how? I'm not exactly sure as to why...). But that darn thing has popped off several times and man that just isn't any fun. If you've been there, you know what i mean.

But I was so glad to find this link. I don't understand as to why Mitsu would not sell a simple clip? Thankfully places like this exist -- I know many of us have worked on the car and dropped a clip, bolt, nut, etc ... to never be found again.
