Lost power
Had the battery replaced last week, and since then my car has no balls.
Error code 62: Intake air control valve position sensor
Is there anything near the battery relating to this sensor that could have been knocked, like a plug, or the sensor itself?

Re: Lost power
Apparently that code is just for the air intake sensor (which it implies).
Not sure how it could have been knocked though, double check the plug wire is in properly. It's located just behind the plenum:

Re: Lost power
Just turbo it, that should fix the loss of power.

Re: Lost power
Check all the vacuum lines for splits and securely fitted, specially the one going from the MAP sensor the the back of the plenum

Re: Lost power
Did you check the plug at the back of the plenum to see if it was in correctly? It's only a visual check, don't really need much mechanical knowledge. You can also do a quick check to see all hoses are connected properly.Supplanter wrote:I am a mechanical newb, can someone explain it to me like I am 5? With pictures?

Re: Lost power
I got the same code on my EVO when I bought a new battery. Once you've checked the electrical plug (under your throttle body) you might have to do what I was told by a mate who is a Mitsu expert.
Turned out all I had to do was disconnect the battery, hold down the brake pedal for a few min to drain the ECU, reconnect + then - on battery (had to be in that order for some reason) then turn car to ON, don't start it until you have turned off a/c, stereo etc. Then start car and let idle for 10 to 12 min. The ECU will re-adjust the IACV. If this doesn't work, there is another fix but it is more involved. Or worst case, it got fried when the battery was put in.
Hope this helps and reply back if you have further trouble. Oh and if you really need pictures, I can find a few for ya

Re: Lost power
The frustration and the process of building/fixing it is the most fun part
Now that the car is done I'm too scared that something is going to break or explode or someone is going to smash into it.

Re: Lost power
At least make sure the mechanic has an MUT II so they find out what is 'actually' wrong. I've been stung before but that was a very long time ago,... before I knew better.
Good luck.

It was in the first few years of ownership, maybe even in the first ten. Now, not so much.Daniel2019 wrote:The frustration and the process of building/fixing it is the most fun part

Re: Lost power
Had this fault once car juddering all over the place. The sensor sits on the intake manifold on the drivers side. Black big sensor with two plugs attached to it.Supplanter wrote:I did a quick visual inspection but didn't notice anything untowards. I will be taking the car to a mechanic soon.
I cleaned mine put it back and no more error code.

Re: Lost power
Is the position sensor separate to the actual IACV?? If so then yeah, I am way off trackpayaya wrote:Way off track mate.Nath wrote:I got the same code on my EVO when I bought a new battery.
