The ignition amplifier could have died. Try pulling it out and see if that helps.

what amplifier do u have?

 

My ignition amplifier (HKS DLI II) fried my coils. Are you NOT supposed to tow an evo with a strap? Flatbed only?

 

Xs engineering.......Towed with strap.....How do tell if coil packs bad?>

 

Just looked at the packs they looked fine......The manual on the ignition amplifier said even if went bad would still allow car to work...But I guess I should start there I am going to remove the ignition apm see what that does...

 

Mine took a dump while I was logging at idle. It sounded like someone stuffed a towel in the exhaust pipe. It just didn't sound like an evo. Disconnect amp, and put in stock coil wires. that should tell you if the amp is bad.

 

A strap wont mess up the TC? Sorry for the walk down OT street, but I thought it would mess up the TC. Good to know you can use a strap. Never heard of the Amp you have, but if you disconnect/disable it, and the problem goes away, it was that. If a coil is fried, you will be running on only 2 cylinders, and the car will NOT sound normal, either at idle or slight RPM's.

 

Have you checked the inline fuse on the red power wire to the amp?

 

i think he means a strap with the tow hook on the front and ALL 4 wheels on the ground....not the hoist you're probably thinking of.

 

How do tell if packs bad?

 

Yes checked in line fuse....just finished removing amp....car will still not fire up????

 

I just described what a bad coilpack sounds like.

 

I get it now, thanks ryder.

 

Your problem is the spark amplifier PERIOD. Take it off the car, and you will be OK. I said this 3 times already. . What do you want us to say it is? Let us know,and we can say that. . Your problem is exposed in the FIRST sentence of this thread.
