Got an image of the car? The name is almost 
certainly a US-market-only name. Probably a 
Mitsubishi Mirage.

If you can't get the part in the  US (hard to 
imagine), a NZ or Japanese-market one might do... 
need a description of the wire colors entering 
the module. Need the part N� and the car's 
complete VIN N� and date of manufacture. The NZ & 
Japanese one might well yield a bit more power 
too...
