hey guys, i was driving today with my evo 8 and while i was heading home..my service engine light just lit up....I have about 28k miles on it. anyone know whats wrong with it? or what can cause engine light to light on? any help would be appreciated.

 

have it scanned

 

P0300 who wants to bet money on it ahhaha

 

are you stock or what mods do you have?

 

currently my car has injen intake with upper pipe, ams intercooler with lower pipe, and a defi boost gauge. You guys know whats wrong with it?

 

Do you have a flash for the mod's you have?

 

um...no i didn't , but i unplugged my battery and the light went off. this was like 9 months ago though.

 

You're going to need a tune with those mods. Take it to autozone or pep boys and have the code ran. It's free and only takes a minute.

 

Just take it to your local auto parts store and have them pull the code if you haven't reset it by unhooking your battery yet.

Then post the code that they pull and we can help.

 

i bet its going to be about your intake. does your car want to die on you?

 

my car doesnt seem like it wants to die....but yeah..my friend is has the software to give my car a flash so i can scan the code.....and i'll post it up when i get it....thanks alot guys.

 

Is this light suppose to come on before scheduled maintainence? I got the light at around 4850-4900miles and i assumed it was for the 5k maitainence.

 

That is not the case for the EVO. If the light is on, it is because a sensor was tripped.

 

What are the sensors that are controlled by the "Service Engine Soon Light"? Mine just came on now and I just got it back from the Mitsu dealer on Thursday

 

My guess is...egr code
