Hi! Im new to the site and Mitsubishi's all together picked up this Montero for $200 runs drives and looks awesome, currently the only problem is an intermittent check engine light that come on sporadically, Im 97% positive its the MAF sensor but finding a new unit is currently proving to be really hard any help or advice would be superb thanks!

 

Unfortunately, '91 is pre-OBD II. This means you will not be able to read the codes easily. Try searching the web to see how to read the codes for this year. I recall on a different make of a car for a '93 production year, I could short out a certain pin on a diagnostic connector to ground and the Check Engine light would flash in a specific pattern. Once you know the code(s) you'll know which way to go.

If you suspect MAF malfunction, find specs for properly functioning MAF and compare to yours. You can also try cleaning MAF and check to make sure you don't have a hole somewhere in the air hoses.

 

Good advice thanks! Is there a specific website most of you would recommend for parts? i found the OME lift pages but what about oem replacement kinda thing?

 

OEM suspension replacement parts may cost as much as OME or even more. Check out prices and make a call based on what you are looking for and your budget. I often use MitsubishiParts.com | "Mitsubishi Parts" at Less Than Dealer Wholesale or Mitsubishi Auto Parts, Up to 70 % Off | Discount OEM Factory Direct Wholesale Mitsubishi Parts Warehouse for OEM parts. There are other sites/places.
What kind of suspension work are you looking to do?

 

Wait...what? Did you pay two-hundred dollars 'merican for a 1991 monty?

 

That does sound like a sweet deal, doesn't it. I'd like one too plz.

 

Ya $200 merican, she has 245XXX on it and the heads and head gaskets have been replace along with radiator and timing belt. Its an awesome ride currently just tryin to figure out how to get it to pass emissions with a randomly thrown check engine light.
