MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards

required.

IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE
NOTE: Perform adjustments with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position.
CURB (SLOW) IDLE SPEED
NOTE: Curb idle speed is controlled by Idle Speed Control (ISC)
motor. Adjustment is usually not necessary. For curb idle
speed specifications, see IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table
under BASIC IDLE SPEED.
1) Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary. Run engine
at 2000-3000 RPM for more than 5 seconds. Allow engine to idle for 2
minutes. Check curb idle speed.
2) If curb idle speed is not within specification, check ISC
system. If ISC system is okay, adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC IDLE
SPEED.
BASIC IDLE SPEED
NOTE: ALWAYS check TPS adjustment after adjusting basic idle
speed. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS).

for at least 10 seconds to clear diagnostic code. Reconnect negative
battery cable. Operate engine at idle for about 5 minutes to ensure
engine idles smoothly.
Test No. 3
1) Turn ignition on for more than 15 seconds. DO NOT start
engine. Turn ignition off. This should fully retract ISC plunger.
2) Ensure ISC plunger is fully retracted. Disconnect TPS
harness connectors. Connect Test Harness (MD998474) between
connectors. Connect digital voltmeter between Red and Blue wires of
test harness.
3) Turn ignition on. DO NOT start engine. TPS voltage should
be .48-.52 volt. If TPS voltage is .48-.52 volt, go to step 4). If TPS
voltage is not .48-.52 volt, loosen TPS mounting screws and rotate TPS
clockwise, or counterclockwise, until correct voltage is obtained.
Tighten TPS mounting screws.
4) Turn ignition off. Disconnect voltmeter and remove test
harness. Reconnect TPS harness connectors. Adjust throttle cable.
Start engine and check idle speed.
5) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable for
at least 10 seconds to clear diagnostic trouble code. Reconnect
negative battery cable. Operate engine at idle for about 5 minutes to
ensure engine idles smoothly.
Test No. 4
1) Loosen throttle cable. Disconnect electrical connector
from TPS. Connect digital ohmmeter between Green/White and
Green/Yellow wire terminals of TPS electrical connector (on TPS side
of harness).
2) Insert .026" (.66 mm) feeler gauge between fixed Speed
Adjusting Screw (SAS) and throttle lever. See Fig. 4. Loosen TPS
mounting screws. Rotate TPS fully clockwise. Check for continuity
between Green/White wire and Green/Yellow wire terminals of TPS
electrical connector.

TPS output voltage is not 0.4-1.0 volt, check TPS and wiring harness
for damage or malfunction. Replace TPS or repair wiring harness if
necessary and go to step 6).
6) Remove feeler gauge. Turn ignition off. Disconnect
voltmeter from ECU connector. Operate engine at idle for about 5

IDLE POSITION SWITCH
NOTE: Idle position switch is preset by manufacturer. Adjustment
is usually not necessary. If other procedures in this
article require adjustment of idle position switch or if
switch setting has been changed, adjust switch as follows.
1.6L Mirage, 2.0L Eclipse & 2.0L Galant (DOHC)
1) Loosen throttle cable. Disconnect electrical connector
from idle position switch. See Fig. 5. Loosen lock nut at base of
switch. Turn switch counterclockwise until throttle valve is fully
closed.
2) Connect ohmmeter between switch terminal and switch body
(ground). Turn idle position switch clockwise until ohmmeter registers\
continuity. At this point, throttle valve should begin to open.
3) Turn switch 15/16 of a turn beyond contact point. Tighten
lock nut at base of idle position switch, holding switch to prevent it
from turning while tightening.
4) Adjust throttle cable. Adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC
IDLE SPEED. Adjust TPS. See TPS ADJUSTMENT.
All Other Models
Idle position switch is incorporated in ISC motor and is
automatically adjusted when TPS is adjusted. See TPS ADJUSTMENT.

DESCRIPTION
Mitsubishi alternators are conventional 3-phase, self-
rectifying type units containing 6 diodes (3 positive and 3 negative)
which are used to rectify current. All models use a case-mounted
Integrated Circuit (IC) voltage regulator.
Alternator relay or resistor with diode is used to ensure
charging of battery even if charging indicator light is defective. See
Figs. 1 -9.
