try taking off the BOV, then look for one that recirculates back into the intake.

you might need to diconnect battery for few minutes if the CEL doesnt go out on it's own.

Grammar and punctuation classes would be well advised too.

Two Words ..... Just Comedy

I understand that maybe down yonda in San Antone you might not come across the dialectally challenged very often, but where I am from in NYC we learn to over look the small stuff.

Hey loosen your shorts Buddy ..... !

OH

We all know driving an EVO is the greatest and the worst.

Its the gift and the curse

Take how you want ....

And to show I am a sport.... Ill even let you know that one of my favorite cars of all time is the 1993 Montego Blue Touring RX7.

I can get exotic car dealerships let me drive Porsche's and Viperss .... but I can't get Mitsubishi to let me test drive an EvoVIII.

I love Evo's, they look great in my rear view mirror. (Seriously though, those HID's are bad ***)

Fox Mitsubishi in Baltimore let me test drive a silver one. All other dealers told me that they would not let me test drive, unless I put a down payment on the car. They actually had the audacity to be cocky about it.

I understand that this car needs to be broken in, but if I was a sales person and I had a customer come in that obviously knew a little about this car I would take him on a TD and tell him to keep it light.

Needless to say.... I didn't take the car over 4500 rpm..... I was more interested in seeing how it handles.... I know what to expect from its straight line speed.

Handling is a big thing I am worried about with the Evo's and STi's (when released). Never liked understeer, but was told the Evo's aren't that bad when it comes to it.

VERY minimal understeer... Almost non-existant... Turn it, and it goes where you point it!!
