Mitsu Starion

[Joel Yancey]

Oh, a note on this... The 85.5 and 86's (some 86's) can run without a MAS
sensor, because it also has a MAP sensor. Many owners have reported better
throttle response, better power, and better gasmilage by removing the Karman
vortec MAS altogether. Just a thought. I've done this, and it's improved
that drivability of the car somewhat.
