service maintance light came on 06 evo 9
The mechanic didn't give me the specific codes but he said that the car has a leak in the manifold . Has to change the gasket that the warrenty that i purchased would not cover this like i figuerd it wouldn't . The car has 43,000 miles would the factory warrenty cover this? Also the car has an oil leak from the oil pan and the turbo return line. I checked the oil level before i took it in and i didn't see any difference in level. i did see that it was dark and needs to be change. Also he said that # 4 cylinder is missfiring. so i think i purchased a lemon .
although you should know exactly what the codes are, documentation is an important key.
I believe a 'lemon' must have the same problem that can't be fixed multiple times to fall under the lemon law.

Your normal factory warranty should cover this, I couldn't see how it couldn't. Having a leaking manifold gasket and you never took it off is not normal...

well i contacted the dealership and it looks like it the car is still under factory warranty and it might cover most of the repairs . Am waiting to hear from the dealership to see whats goin on and if it will be repaired today . The misfire on cylinder 4 might be cause from a broken sparkplug wire cover allowing water in .

Got the car back today and it seems to be acting the same. The gasket at the down pipe was replaced and there wasn't any exhaust leak at the manifold according to the mitsubishi dealership.There is still the misfire in cylinder 4 and the oil leak at the oil pan and turbo return line. MY original problem was what it looks like am loosing boost some where along. The car accelerates perfect until i get to higher boost and then it feels like the turbo spools and am not getting nowhere. It feels like a non turbo car. Would the cylinder misfire (bad spark plug on cylinder 4 ) the oil pan leak and oil leak at the turbo return line have to do would loosing what i think is boost st higher engine rpms. Some one please help this noob . Am checking the oil level at the motor and i don't see any difference in level after i checked it .
