posted in da wrong section.. but to answer ur question, I got both of mine from a local pick'n'pull. both are on da intake manifold...one is close to firewall (small w/ 2 vacuum lines connected to it) and da other is under manifold below thermostat housing (bigger w/ 4 vacuum lines attached).
see pic attached (red paint marks my old ones, da other ones are from pick'n'pull)
Yeah in still new to this and I notice it was the wrong section 10 mins later... Anywho do I have to get them from a pick n' pull? Or can I just get brand new ones??
Thread moved. I could never find those at the local auto parts stores but maybe Mitsubishi still has them? I ended up getting mine from pick-n-pull also.
Would these thermal valve cause my truck to hesitate? Or would that be my ERG?Quote:
