Danny,
Is it revving past the ~5200rpm mivec cut in point?
If cold the revs are limted to ~5200rpm (cut in point is different depending on whether it's a standard version or the RS version)-the temp sensor which you mentioned I guess is the one that controls this. If it revs past 5200rpm, I guess the temp sensor is not cutting in to limit the revs and is therefore not the problem.
Blown fuse, loose relay?
Is the car running ok otherwise?
I believe Aidan on here had a seimilar problem with his FTO mivec when he got it first. Think it was a vacuum hose or something. http://www.fto-ireland.com/forum/phpBB2 ... ght=vacuum
Obviously if you could get it connected to a MUT reader that would be you best bet. Failing that I'm sure there is some way to read fault codes without it?

yes car will reach up to 7,200rpm but no more then that and no-mivec coming in.i have a second car that im using as a donore car,and there is no mitsu dealer around with daig computor <mut> i guess.
replaceing the knock sensor fixed mi-vec on his fto i guess i will try find out is there 1 on the colt.it's worth a go.is there a diff name for it..are error code,s done by flash code's like the fto.
