Re: missing brake spring
I may have one. Im not sure they are the same though. There may be a different one for each side of the caliper. Are you able to confirm. And if they are different, which one is missing.

Re: missing brake spring
The Lancer one didn't work out but I put the correct sized tyres on the font and that helps a bit. On another note I finally got my new IFS sensor today and it doesn't rev passed 6000rpm isn't the mivec suppose kick in

Re: missing brake spring
You either dont have a mivec or have a 2 pin alternator (non mivec) instead of a 4 pin.

Re: missing brake spring
Did you let it warm up first? Wont go to Mivec until engine water temp is over a certain temp.

Re: missing brake spring
I made sure it was warmed up check the alternator its a 4 pin no charging issues. The only thing that doesn't seem right is when I turn ignition on there is a sound coming from the efi unit on top of the motor its almost like a grinding sound like something is trying to wind But struggles car starts and ldles fine its only when I turn ignition on not start
