Muff out? Ouch! That's a new one on me! I expected to see your car annointed with doilee's or some weird crap like that! You should just call a rectum driver, he'll finger it out.

That sucks! Ive left mine running at work before, - damn turbo timer - since its always running when I walk away, ive gotten out of the car, locked the door and gone inside with the keys still in the ignition and the motor running (not on purpose), thinking the timer was running down and the keys were in my pocket, boy was I wrong. Believe it or not its pretty easy to get in with a wire hangar. I just straighten it out and slip one end in between the door frame and the door weather seal closest to the rear door(between front and rear door), and slide that baby forward until I can press down on the window switch and roll the window down enough to get my hand in and unlock the door.

p.s. ive done it twice

Yeah, I think we've all been there before. hangers work pretty good, but be careful not to mess things up like the weather seal. Some cars are even setup to open the lock by hooking onto the inside door handle. I'm not sure if this works on the evo, cuz mine is in storage. This is probably all a tow truck driver would do, & it's cheaper than a locksmith.

Oki Panoki,

Has the car run out of gas yet? It's been almost 6 hours at idle.

Wait! you work at a dealer and you think its ok to pinch a fuel line to kill the engine. Can someone say lean condition. I would have tryed jacking it up taking the under tray off and finding the coil plug.

lean for like 1 second. all the injectors at the same exact time will have no fuel and the car will shut down. its not like it will be running on low fuel over a period of time

You should have gone to the store and gotten a ratchet to undo your oil pan drain plug... Your car would have shut off shortly after that...
