i was Driving my Evo a little hard, just getting it to spool a little and some quick cornering and i Came to a red light where i Of course stoped and idled. The Idle was raised for a second then fell ( weird) I check the ac which was off and the Defroster wasn't on. Then Right after that The fron End made a Realy loud clunk and the Car stalled. So I cranked it and it started right back Up, So i took it back to my shop and checked it out. I couldn't find anything, the clunk kinda sounded like a spring settleling, the car only has 1500 miles on it and this is pretty much one of the few times I did some hard driving with the car. But why did the car stall, it didn't just like shut off it sputtered a little and Stalled. Then i crank it and started up pretty quick.

 

Help, has anyone got any clue of what happened i am kinda worried. I am gonna post this on IATN if no one can hep. it stalled again When i drove to the Stor just earlier.

 

check all your piping and what are your mods and are you tuned

 

Like said you probably have a leak in one of your pipes I have heard of many stock evos having IC pipes blowing off under boost. Im sure its nothing but that

 

None Stock. I don't want to take it to the Dealer cuss i know they won't fix it and They will beat the **** out of it. Plus i work at a shop. I hooked up the Modis Right after the First Stall and read all the Fuel trims, no more or less than 1.5% an 3% Flux. O2 are running Rich Lean Rich Lean. The rear o2 petty much stays aroun .15 to .35 volts unless you gass it alittle. The MAF is reading 22kpa. IAT is at 30C. to me every thing looks normal. I got the MR with the Gauges, not sure how accurate they are but the Vaccum Decreaces and the Car just sputters to a stall. after that you can just crank it and it starts. I also checked the EGR and the Selonoid, And the Vaccume hoses. I told the valve to flow and the car sputtered alittle but not stalled so thats not the problem. I also Checked the IC Pipes that I can See and the ABV Recirculation Tube still good. I am gonna Do a Smoke test tomarrow.

 

is your factory air intake snorkel(if still equipped)still using the plastic clips to hold it down?

 

is your maf plugged in.

 

Yes and Yes.

 

my evo 8 did that one time at around 1,500 miles, i was in neutral coasting into my driveway (downhill) and i watched the tach drop down the car sputtered a little then stalled. hasnt happened again though i hope you get it fixed

 

Is this your first manual car? If you're not used to manual, especially the Evo's late engagement clutch pedal, you might be stalling the car. You said, it happens when you stop then go again, no other time, so it's likely you just not doing the transition right.

 

No I drive lots of manual cars. I have been driving manual since i was heavy evnought to push my daddys 3200lb pressure plate in, on his Mustang. I was 12. Beleive me i am not stalling the car. In Nuetral Wating at the light clutch Pedal up. Then Car Stalls. Twice in about 6 hours.

 

I'd take it back to mitsubishi right a way. I would be pretty pissed off, son. I think that if you have only had the car so long and it's causing problems its instantly a lemon. I remember hearing about that when a buddy of mine had his car replaced under the lemon law with only 300 miles on it. It was a WRX, the turbo popped, and he got a new car instantly.

 

I am gonna go and see if i can find anything wrong with it. I got a A tip from IATN that the Fuel Regulator vaccum hose doesn't have a clamp and can be forced off. Expecialy if it gets wet. So i am gonna Check that NOW.

 

Yeah it was the Vaccum hose to the Fuel regulator. Its been idling for like 5 mins soo far.

Thanks for your help

 

nice glad you had the smarts to go over everythign step by step and not have to bring it to Mitsu and worry about it...
