You might want to take it to a gas station and let them drain the tank. They might have to drop the tank in order to empty it completely.

If you have a few empty gas cans laying around, you could take the return hose off of the fuel pressure regulator, connect a few feet of 1/4" fuel line to the regulator and run the fuel into the gas cans.

You should not have ran the car hard to "blow out" the bad fuel. If anything you should've stayed out of boost.

 

Which one is the return line?

Help anyone...

 

anyone????
Ive been trying to fix this since this morning....
please help

 

No worries found it...still draining...I have aquarter tank left to go.
It started sputtering from the return line, no longer an even flow of fuel...i guess this means its time to quit? The fuel light hasnt come on yet...so we'll see!!

Bought some plugs also, hope after all this my baby come back to life

I'll keep you'll posted

thanks for all the input

 

Here's the update:

My car is jacked up!

Drain all that fuel out, filled it up with 93 and the same symptoms...
Loss of power
Idles low...makes the oil light come on and off
boggs then backfired

I'll probably have to call the dealership thats on the "mitsubishi black list" to come tow it and fix it...
there goes a couples thousand dollars
How can mitsubishi's powerful car be so fragile!!
I had a skyline and put MO-GAS in it (for you that dont know what MO-Gas is, its the cheapest gas the military used back in the day) and it knocked the hell out my engine...I went to the gas station later, put some higher octane gas...and some additives and it was back to normal.

I am so mad at myself and my car...

Any ideas please let me know...I'll be downstairs with a sledge hammer.

Seriously any ideas please let me know...as you can see...I was at this allll day..

thanks to everyone who gave suggestion.

 

I have never had a problem with them.

 

reset the ECU by remove the bettery about 15mins.
put some100 or 104 in it 1/2 tank is good.
engine on.
did you do that?

 

do you have boost controller?
when the gas attendant told you to drive hard to blow the bad sh#t out. the time you were drivin hard did you feel the car was slower than before(with drive hard)? if its then a its knockin.

That's exactly the opposite you want to do. Take it easy, try to stay off boost, till it's gone. Hopefully the computer got your back and retarded the heck out of your timing.

It'll take a while for the ECU to learn to trust you again and restore performance.

HEY if you take to a dealer the Mitsu dealer in Alexandria VA. YOu sure be sure to get that problem fix.

 

maybe you ran you tank dry and got crap stuck in the fuel filter?

or clogged injectors from the crud..

you oil light is due to low idle.. hmm had this problem before but it was due to bad oil filter.. wonder what that got to do with what you did..bbut since you said oils black .. why not.. its what $3 for the oil filter?

 

They've been known to clog injectors on the Evo. I've personally seen it happen to 3 different stock Evos. MMT's also leave a nice rust colored film on the inside of everything. Check your spark plugs, you'll see what I mean.

You should check your plugs if you haven't done so already, that bad knock could have closed the gap on a few of your plugs.
