QUESTION: its the mitsubishi engine thats in the 2001 volvo s40

Answer
Dale, must be a UK deal.  Never seen one of those here in the U.S. Anyway, If its anything like what we have here, It will be in front of the throtle area.  The top of it has a black plug.  Looks the the camshaft reset valve.  You can clean them with carb cleaner but, most of the time, it wont work because the valve does go bad ocassionally.  Roger
