hey gsrboi80, i read your posts from the other topic.... After seeing the pics from mitsmaster, i ran down to my car to check the connections... They seem to be new and shiny... But when i went to start it , nothing.... Just the dome light flickering, and the headlights real real dim..... I think im just gonna take a shot and sodder them together with heat-shrink tubing over it.... Hopefull itll work...

oh by the way, i havent made any anti-fouler for the cat-delete pipe. The service engine light has been on for quite some time... So well see tomarrow after i splice everything together to see if that clears it up.... Do you think it could still be the harness if its not corroded?????

so today once i checked the harness and found nothing.... I notice once i jumped it, everytime i hit the gas the car boggs out and stalls.. Sounds like somethings blocking the throttle... THIS IS NOT GOOD!, anyone got anything else for me to try before i bring it to the stealership tomarrow?

well i dropped the car off to a local mechanic last night... He found out the ignition wires were grounding out somewhere causing the fuse to blow.. Ends up that about 30 things run off that fuse, so know hes tracing everything back to see which wire it is.... Were making progress!!!!! oh and my alternator is holding a charge , which hes not sure if because of the fuse or not.... ill keep ya all updated...
Hey guys... Im new around these forums, but have been the proud owner of an 04 Evo 8 RS for about 3 years now... So heres my long hearted serious problems-
(note- 2 weeks before this my turbo timer just upright stopped working. no powere to it whatsoever) so Im driving home about a week ago and all of a sudden the blinkers stop working(hazards still work tho)... Then about two days after that the dash gauges cut out... No fuel, speedo, tach and no blinkers now... So i trace it out to the fuse pannel under the dash, spot 2 7.5 amp fuse. I replace it and all is good for about 15 minutes , then no blinkers/guages... I replace the fuse again, and 5 minutes later it goes again.... So i then took all the guages out(A/F, water temp, oil pressure, boost/vacuum(the vac line is still hooked, just no power or ground to the gauge), and took the turbo timer completely out)
So replaced the fuse again, and 2 minutes later, it goes out....
****, so i take a couple of days to think, and then my dvd player when turned up to 20dbs it cuts off and then turns back on, and keeps doing that untill you turn the volume down... Ok great... Then the very next day the darn thing just is a consistant off and on, no matter what the volume.....
Then the next day my car starts to idle all over the place out of nowhere, from about 500 to about 1400(if i had to guess, remember i have no dash gauges)... Fin great.. So on the way home from that the car once reaches 15psi just looses throttle and is a consistant backfire until you take your foot off the gas... up untill 15 psi is as normal(plus the weird idle) but the throttle cuts out at 15psi and up...
And to add to that, i went to start the thing today after not driving it for a day, and it wont start. sounds like the batterys dead but i know its not..
what the hell is going on here? Heres the specs on the car-
stock block
upgraded syncros/gears on trans
stage 3 twin disc clutch
AEM intake
Aem upper&lower intake piping
GReddy BOV(not recirculated)
Hallman pro boost controller
upgraded 20g 10.0 hotside turbo
full 3" turbo back exhaust with test pipe.. (check engine light was on for the o2 sensor after the cat)
cross drilled rotors f/r
hawk pads f/r
Viper alarm
In dash DVD player
And to note, i take very good care of the car, its got just about 30K miles on it, i change the oil every 2500 miles, and ive done every possible upkeep the car ever needed..
I tried pulling codes but the scanner i have crapped out.. Ill be gettin a new one tomarrow.. But im lost...
Anyone have any ideas
