If you own an 03 bring your car in!!! here are the recall codes to give to the dealership:
C0409Z: Fan Controller
C0303H: Oxygen Sensor(this is the one that will cause your car to randomly idle oddly and stall...like if i have a car with deep toned exhaust next to me and they rev. it my car will idle all nuts then stall....dont think yours does...try it!!!))
C0401H: FMVSS Certification
_______: ECU Wiring Harness seal...im not sure the code on this one but corporate will tell you!!!

Just thought I'd let you guys know...i called biggers mitsu (a local dealership) and they told me there were NO recalls on the vehicle then I spoke with corporate who then informed me of them....

Corporate Mitsu:
800-222-0037 Option 2, then Option 1, have the last 8 digits of your VIN # and they will tell you if it has already been serviced for the recall or not.

GOOD LUCK!!!

thanx for the info.

 

i knew that idle thing was something messed up! im definatly going to get that fixed now.

 

I called and they told me the only recall was the certification label, and the fan control. Ox senc. etc a=was for the regular lance not the Evo

 

haha yeah man yesterday i was sitting at a light and some turbo diesel truck ripped it past me and im like holy **** that exhaust made my car shake then it occoured to me when i looked at my dash that the rumble was really my sensor/idle going nuts b/c of the vibration and my car had stalled

 

which one did they say wasn't for the evo??? They are telling you wrong unless yours was already fixed call a dealership and give them your vin and ask them about all of them....mine has already been supposedly fixed but still has the same problem so i have to bring it back in....but the guy did try and tell me that only two recalls were on my car but thats b/c they were "already fixed" or attempted to be fixed

 

well from what ive heard when a harley or something with a loud exhaust revs it beside you its your knock sensor thinking its hearing knock and pulling your timing i wouldn't think that your 02 sensor has anything to do with that.

 

yeah, thats what i was thinking too, but supposedly there is no recall on the knock sensor....the guy at the dealer also said the 02 sensor shouldn't cause the car to ever stall...i'm like wel then we have a diff problem b/c loud exhaust ****s with something...so they are going to figure it out...i'll letcha know what mitsu's explination is

 

They said the only one for the Evo was the certification label.

 

o2 sensor has nothing to do with the loud noise. I have a simulated o2 and my idle dips with loud ambience.

Thats more of a maf thing.

but there is an o2 sensor recall. Its to check to see if the ecu harness is leaking. If i remember correctly.

 

I just called and they said the o2 sensor had been fixed already on my Evo .... but my car still tries to die when a harley blows by wide open and im at a stop. Also said the Sticker wasnt done, but i know it has been cause they did it for me bout 2 weeks ago....

 

C0409Z: Fan Controller
C0401H: FMVSS Certification

only two recalls they are showing for my car.

 

Thanks I called and my car is clear on all the recalls. Maybe because it was one of the last 03's made?

 

me aswell all I had was the sticker recall and I got that in the mail

 

The reason the car stalls next to loud vehicles is that the vibrations interrupt the MAS signal. The MAS determines airflow by measuring the vibrations of a wire after an obstruction. The vibrations caused by the loud exhaust distort the reading, causing your car to stall. The only thing that will help that is setting your car up with a speed-density type MAS.
