Hey Guys

Well i just picked up my new car yesterday. An 05 Evo 8 and let me tell you I LOVE IT...lol...Well I am having some problems. The dealer keeps telling me that the car is stock but it has a rough idel. The steering wheel shackes to from the idel...I look under the hood and it is stock I even opened up the air box and it was stock..So idk if the guy would actually put a cam in a completely stock car.. If there is something else it could be, PLEASE HELP

Idel Video

 

is that exhaust stock? cause it doesnt look it to me from the video at least. check all ur lines and make sure they're connect well. and did u ask the dealer if it has ever been modified before and then just put back to stock? cause maybe they forgot to flash the ecu back to stock

 

sounds like 280's... pop your valve cover off... or have the dealership do it, since you just bought it, and have them look.

 

dude that does not sound stock make a video or picture of the exhaust under the car.and a pic of the motor.how many miles were on the car?

 

+1 that definately has cams or something is really wrong take it back to where you bought it and have them pull the valve cover and look.

 

did it sound like that when you bought it?? or is this a sound that has developed

i bet whoever ssold it back to the dealer took off all visible mods and left ithe cams in it, then sold it back as "stock". sounds like untuned 280s. id get it checked out asap.

my steering wheels shakes a bit at idle, but its from stiffer motor mounts. did you notice if those looked different?

 

yup it sounded it like this atr the dealership but they kept sayin that it is completely stock...As for the exhaust ima check again but it even sounds stock...

But thnx for all the help, I wanted to cam it anways so this just helps me...lol

 

I cannot believe a dealer would sell a car that sounded like that and claim it's stock. On second thought I can believe it. I've never heard what untuned cams sound like but that's where I'd lean. I've heard tuned 280s before and they didn't sound that rough.

 

The word is "idle."

That car is not stock, and this is why it's a bad idea to buy a used Evo, especially from a dealership, because they don't know jack about mods. They just buy it from the guy who was trying to get rid of it for cheap, then they sell it at a premium to the noob who doesn't know any better.

 

How can you say the exhaust sounds stock when you recorded that video? The stock exhaust sounds NOTHING like that.
