I see nobody took this one on, so I figured I'd chime in a word of support. I know nothing about turbo gauges, but based on what you've described, I'd have the same thought as you. I'd connect the positive to a power source which comes on after the key is turned, rather than straight to the battery ...

well, let us know how it goes.
I sure hope it's the glow plugs, as that is a quick and easy fix.

Good luck.

Hey In my experience the older the glow plugs get the less efficient they are. You may need to replace the plugs themselves. I had a similar issue in both the Mitsu Challenger I had as we ll as the L300 I currently have. In case of the challenger replacing the glow plugs solved the starting issue im...

Just to close this issue, the temp sensor part# I found turned out was correct, threads correct, plug correct. The part was bought from ebay for $22 shipping in(Australia). I'm sure local dealers have it in stock, I just didn't have the time or energy to call around, drive around and get it. Napa an...

So my research came up with:
Mitsubishi part# MD050214

Lordco part# WT405

Blue Streak aftermarket
Part# TS299

And more:

Found it, thanks.

If anybody has a part# handy, I'd owe you a beer.
Otherwise I'll see if the parts subforum has the answer.

I just went out to the van after it sat for some 4hrs or so, and after turning the ignition on the temperature gauge shot all the way just under the red, same spot as before. So I'm confident it's a faulty sensor. So now the question is, where is the sensor located, and does Lordco carry replacements?

Oh, a couple more details: -overflow reservoir is cold. -after stopping checked the rad again, no leaks but the lower part of the rad and the lower rad hose are completely cold. Only the top part of the rad is hot. So I'm guessing the coolant is either not circulating at all or very slowly. My bet w...

Hi guys, here is the issue: Van started overheating today out of the blue. Symptoms and observations: -coolant in good shape, full. -overflow at proper level -upper rad hose hot, but not overpressured. -lower rad hose cold -no leaks observed anywhere. What do you think? Would the lower being cold su...

....so, does anybody know the part number on the IP on a '94 L300, with water cooled turbo and IP?

Call Steven at rising sun. I did. I find Steven kind of rude to be honest. I've never dealt with him before, but i did not care how he talked to me. very abrupt, rude way of speaking. And I certainly did not like his quote ($1000). Funny thing is that the IP in this van is a Hyundai unit, and I had...

Hi all! I've boldly ventured again into the L300 ownership recently, and the path ahead seems much more bumpy than I anticipated... The van I got has (according to Butch) an incorrect injection pump installed, causing the van to run poorly. When I got it, I assumed it was IP timing mixed with old di...

To me it's a gimmick. Why risk the accidental turn, or the spring breaking, or the nylon washers wearing out or even some jackass turning the knob on purpose while fishing for a catalytic converter to steal? Every time I change the oil in have the opportunity to inspect the drain plug and change the...

Hey, just because you don't have the van anymore doesn't mean you have to leave the forum.
It's an enthusiast Site...stay, lurk, contribute or just drool over rides.
That's what I did lol.

So any news? It would be a shame if this van end up scrapped.
