Its a mitsubishi unit.
I just had to have mine changed out.
Sometimes you can squeeze a bit more life out of it by giving the gas
pedal a sharp stomp when you first start. It gets the field
going,maybe, and can stay on while the car is on regardless of revs,
charging. If this works, I am given to understand you can go on that
way anywhere from 6 minutes to 6 months.
I think you can get it out from the top by pulling the bolts on the
motor mount over it (a droite) and jacking up the block a bit. Gives
just enough clearance to slither it out. ( trick courtesy of the
imported car center)
