Hey guys. I just bought an '05 evo 8 yesterday. I have alot of trouble putting the car in reverse. I'm not sure if it the clutch or the short shifter that has been installed. But anyway... the car idles very high. It constantly idles at 1500 rpm's unless you turn the a/c on. Then it goes down to 800-1200. Also when your going over 10 mph and you put the car in nuetral, the rpm's drop to around 1000 but jump around from 1000-1300 rpm's. The check engine light is also on. Here is a list of the different parts it has on it...

Engine:
Slowboy Racing stage 2 forged shortblock, with Ross pistons, Eagle H beam rods
GSC Power division custom intake
K&N cone air filter
GSC Power Division Innercooler pipe kit
Hallman pro manual boost controller

Injen 2005 MR test pipe
B & B exhaust

Exterior:
UK Evo rear badge in black
JDM spec rear taillights
Mini radio antenna

Interior:
B & M short throw shifter
Defi Boost guage
Innovate Motorsports wideband oxygen sensor and guage kit

GSC Universal aluminum oil catch can
GSC power division Evo 8 mini battery kit

I am not sure if it idles like that because of a part installed on it or what. Any help with this problem would be very much appreciative because unfortunately i do not know everything about these cars as i would like.

 

Does this car even have a tune?

 

1. Pull the code
2. Im guessing you know nothing about what the tune looks like or if it even has one
3. Behind the valve cover there is the throttle cable it is attached to a slide bracket. If this is too tight the car will idle high because your a essentialy holding the throttle a little bit. Loosen the two bolts and untension or tension accordingly

 

I guess by tune, do you mean like a tune-up? Im sorry im kinda slow but i really know next to nothing on these things. Again, thanks for your help.

 

step

1. go to advanced auto, ask to use there code reader
2. read code
3. do a search for that code on evom
4. attemp to fix code
5. if u cant fix code, end life, because an evo with a code is worse than a women b4 her period.

 

I asked the guy i bought it from and he said he checked it out and said that he thought it was the rear o2 sensor. he said when he installed the exhaust there should have been a small washer or gasket that he forgot to put on it and it reads funny. And i just asked him about the tune and he said that it did not have one yet.

 

DO NOT GET ON IT AT ALL WITHOUT A TUNE!!!!!!! STAY OUT OF BOOST.

GET A TUNE ASAP!!!!

 

Dang. Ok but where can i get it done at and how much will it be?

 

Here is a picture of the engine if you can actually see if it has a 'tune':

Why did you by a essential race car that you know nothing about. Coomon man

The tune would be inside the ECU. You ant see it . He is invisible

You need to do some research man. A tune will cost you about 300 and they will adjust you timing and A/F to optimize the power of the car.

You have no automotive knowledge and you bought a modded EVO. Good Luck buddy you'll need it

 

Yea. Thanks. im startin to see that now. Ok well anyways.. thanks for your help.
