You need to go back to elementary school and learn some proper spelling and grammar. Its not that hard. Accomplish that and you will get much better responses b/c people will be willing to take the time to read your posts.

If this mechanic needs advice or tips from you, you're screwed.

low battery voltage will also cause all kinds of things to go wrong, i suggest you replace your battery since even if you manage to fix this problem you wont be able to drive the car with a dead battery

i would order a set of new spark plugs. the number is NGK ILFR7H. DO NOT use anything but that. no offense but it scares me you have done as much as you have done. Its not that these cars are super complicated but you should have a good idea of what your doing before attempting anything as they are easy to damage by doing the wrong thing.



Oh and side not....The guy that said something about 20 yr old evo owners, he can pound sand im 22 and have done everything to my car on my own to include removing engine tranny , T-case, and fab my own stuff for a pieced together turbo kit. I realize you wern't directing that comment at me but I hear it enough times that I take offense to it...... Just cuz your young doesn't mean your not aloud to pop your evo's hood



My bad. I went back and read it again and you were talking about this kid wanten to fight LOL. My apologies man, maken stupid comments like that this kid doesn't deserve the help.

car batterys cannot be drained all the way down then brought back up it causes damage to the battery, you should get a new one or a battery tender, and for the record i bought my evo at 19 years old and was tuning it myself as well, i will be 21 in march and ive done everything on the car myself, so age has no bearing on this just a willingness to learn, ive never got my car to the point where it wouldnt idle but then again ive been working on cars since i was 14 and on engines since i was 5 (dirtbike/gokart/quad)

fix the battery problem then try getting the car to idle, this could be something as simple as an alternator since if the alternators bad and the battery is dead and your trying to get the car to run it will just shut off

fix battery issue


on a side note please stop abbreviating words with numbers, its difficult to read and leaves a poor impression of yourself on these boards

Evom people are easy to please. Just search, we all get pissy cuz everyone is tired of answering the same questions time and time again. Your problem may not have been covered before but showing a little effort on your end goes a long way....

how come you're not listening to these guys? unistall everything you installed and try to start again. From then, check your plugs and battery. This isn't the car to be cheap with

like i said i started off late there are a bunch of ppl that are over 30 and if u ask them something about a car they would say y do i have to know i'll just take it to a mechanic and they'll fix it , i write numbers with letters because its faster and for me is very understandable but if it isn't for some ppl then i'll change that ,its not drained all the way it has enough to turn on the lights in the car or turn off the lights and turn on the radio but not enough to turn over the car , the alternater is fine i know for sure.... the cars battery was always high showin on the MR gauge like i said again the car hasnt been used for over a month (as in started to get charged) and ive been listening to music not thinking it would waste battery as much and i would have fixed my car ontime and start the car for the alternator to charge the battery , but i was wrong

Dont jump start your car from your dads car..... that ruins the battery if you jump start it from any car... Use a trickle charger to charge the battery to full if you didn't ruin the battery and try to start the car. Did you put the bov back on right??? Turn the car on for about 30 secs turn it off unplug the battery, do that 5 times that should reset the ecu and get rid of all the codes if you have a check engine light up which you should if your car wont idle... And age doesnt matter im 16 and i havent ****ed up my car yet and ive done all my mods myself, UICP, LICP, Catback, Aem boost gauge, Greddy TT, CAI. and my car runs great

Car batterIES can be charged back up, how do I know? Cause Ive charged mine up 3+ times from being completely dead by forgetting to unhook it after not driving it for months. I run a small battery and I use a Hybrid charger at work to recharge it, leave it on the charger for a few days and the battery is just fine. If a battery gets to a very low voltage ive saw them do crazy things, but that doesnt mean it cannot be charged back up.

Maybe you need to read ahead a little before you post, the posts right above you says age doesnt matter on working on a car, the kid was talking about fighting. So you can keep that ignorant comment to yourself cause myself am in my 20's.


Find a new mechanic.
