similar problem here! pretty frustrating.... my car will only crank, won't fire

 

NOt sure if its the same or not. but ON my 2G I rebuilt the entire motor and went to start it same thing crank crank crank.. Found out after Days that the Thermostat wire was bad. Changed it and Fired right up. IDK if its the same on the evo but anythings worth a shot..

 

i would change your coils and see what that does.. i had a similar problem in my R6 street bike same symptoms... changed the coils and it was fixed!

 

looks like maf related errors, disconnect the battery to reset the ecu, unplug the maf and see if it will start in limp mode

 

I have an account there long ago. "evo8wrc" if I remeber right. If you come near atlanta gimme a shout. We can put our heads together and see what we can figure out.

 

Hey Chris, Happy new Year! I'll give it a try. What should I be looking for it to do? It will start and idle as it sits... it just runs like Sh*t when you step on the gas.

 

if you unplug the maf and it runs exactly the same that may suggest that is the maf and you should borrow one from a known running car to make sure before you purchase another one.

 

NO Joy bump....

 

does the MAP, MAF, IAT, and cam sensor all run off the same 5v referance? if so maybe a bad connection at the ecu?

 

nvrmd.....

 

Even though you answered it yourself that was a great idea. good thinking outside the box. Anyone else have one?

 

you might want to just check your connections/grounds and your battery/charging system. if your running low voltage it will cause all sorts of issues.

 

I checked all my plugs several times....idk what else to check.

 

You are having the same problems 5 months later?

 

I am having a similar problem right now, except even after leaving the car overnight it will not start up. Just cranks.

Keep this thread up on your findings, I am updating mine at https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...es-inside.html

Hopefully we find a solution...
