I read with interest the comments to ColinSpikes' posting on modifying the D-Jet system.

My -72 with B20E is so far running OK, but I expect problems in the future, first with the MAP sensor (the hand grenade) because a PO has done some kind of funny repair to it. Secondly, the idle when cold is not good at all, most likely because the thermo valve thingy close to the thermostate (forgot what it's called...) is not working at all. When hot, the engine runs great however.

I have searched the market for both these parts, so far without success. The MAP can be found, but at really stiff prices (USD 1.000 +). The thermo thingy seems to have been out of stock for ages.

I live in Scandinavia, but would gladly order such parts from the US if they are available. Are these parts still on stock there, or are there alternatives or possible modifications? Last question: As my engine is a B20E, will a MAP from a B20F of approximately the same year be similar?
