I am getting terrible milage (~18) in a D-jet 1.7, and individuals have suggested the MPS? Are there other symptons? How can I test? Anybody have a spare I can test?

1. see if it will hold a vacuum.
2. measure resistance- between outer pins on connector- 90 ohms (about)
3. resistance between the two center pins- 350 ohms (give or take)
4. resistance between either center pin and either outer pin- zero ohms.
5. resistance between either center pin and ground- zero ohms.
6. resistance between either outer pin and ground- zero ohms.

There's a good chance it won't hold a vacuum with those MPG numbers. If the diaphram is leaking, it'll fool the MPS into thinking, "hmmmm. He must be running WOT. I guess I'll richen up the mixture for him!"

If all these tests are OK, the MPS could still be bad. But you'd need an LC meter to go to the next step of testing.
