Hi all,
So a question on how the mivec system activates on my pajero Evo.
I've had my pajero over a year and I could always feel Mivec at 5000rpm so all was good. Whilst in doing some cleaning recently I noticed that my actuator arm for the intake flaps was broken. I got it Welded up and put back together. As soon as that happened I could no longer feel Mivec kick in. When I take the actuator out and move the Intake arm all the way to the left as your looking at the engine Mivec is there again.

So with everything back together and the engine off, the arm is all the way to the left.. When I start the car and the Actuator has Vacuum the arm moves to the right on idle. So my question is, Is this correct? Does the actuator allow the flaps to move as you get high up the Revs and it looses vacuum to allow the arm to be all the way to the left again? I have disconnected the vacuum line to the actuator so the arm stays all the way left and Mivec is there again.
I know I havnt messed around with any vacuum lines or anything but maybe a past owner did?

What is the correct position for the arm on the long runner and short runner side and is there a switch somewhere that tells the ECU/Mivec it is in the Short runner side?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
