Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hey everyone,

Just picked up my first delica, promptly named "Chester the Molester"... Inside joke I guess... But anyways, I have a few questions for the vets out there.

1994 Delica L300 Special edition (GLX is what they call it?) Crystal light roof, Jet black, Hot! 97k on the engine, with all the usual jazz done to it. Runs great so far, no smoke or rough starts on start up in the cold (-1c)...

1: Ideal engine rpm at idle? When its warm I'm around 500rpm to 600rpm. I get a bit of vibration that I think shouldn't be there, would this be due to the low rpm at idle? Or how do I check my motor mounts and figure out if they need to be replaced? It's my first diesel so it could be that as well.

2: EGR blanking plate! Where do I chuck this chunk of metal and how do I do it? Is there anyone that has a picture of the engine that would show me where this dealio is, apparently its stupid simple to apply. Anybody not recommend doing this?

3: Haynes manual? Is there one and where could I get one without ordering online? Shitty tire doesn't carry it.

4: Any recommendations for the delica?

Thanks for the help in advance. This site is fracken awesome.

Oh, one last thing.

One of my crystal light shades don't work, I've heard its a crap shoot to fix? Sounds like the motor still works but there is this wire that is hanging down from the shade. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but my guess is that the wire is the culprit?

Thanks for the help Falco.

With the RPM, I do get 750 when I have it in park. Although in drive, when I come to a stop it hovers from 500 - 600. Am I to adjust the idling speed to 750 when in drive then? And will that increase my RPM when I'm in park?

Excellent... Thank you again.
