Mitsubishi Magna 1997 Problems

It should be located at the front under the inner guard. Look up between the bumper and the support panel and you should see it.

Check and if necessary reset the base idle speed. If the stepper motor has been faulty it could be that someone has attempted to get around the problem by adjusting the base idle, and now with the new stepper motor working as it should the idle is all over the place. You could also check the temperature sensor on the fuel-injection system to make sure it’s working correctly and sending out the correct signal.

The TE is an old model and yours has probably done around 200,000 km based on the kays you do annually, so I would be wary of converting it. The modern injection systems are the most efficient, but I doubt you will find one for the TE because of its age. That leaves an old type of mixer/venturi system, which works well and has done for many years. In terms of payback I would think you should recover the cost of installing the system in two to three years.

I would say it's impossible for water to get into your tyres, other than moisture in the airline you used when inflating them. If water could get in by any way other than through the hose then air could get out the same way and you would have noticed you had flat tyres. A wheel alignment won't help, so just get them balanced.

THE Camry is a good choice. It's a reliable model and won't cost an arm and a leg to run. I would also consider the Nissan Maxima A32, which fits your budget, and don't forget the Mitsubishi Magna. You will get a later-model Magna for the same money.

FROM what you say your car is running well and giving good fuel consumption, so I see no reason to have the fuel-injection system cleaned. You could think about it if the engine begins to run roughly, loses performance, or your fuel consumption rises.
