I looked at every Mitsu forum and everywhere, and just can't find the 'official' spec for your car. But generically, on an engine it should be at least 20 at idle and as high as 60 running hard. Usually normal conditions 45 is a good figure

Ok, I mean like when you are checking the engine and it's at 180, is that good enough to fire all cylinders?
