Its a shame that you would say that about me john!! I did not know that was the case!! i been driving the car like that for 2 years and no one at mitsu or TTP ever said anything to me. You would think they would of said something considering they replaced a transfer case and the clutch at the dealer and TTP saw the car many times for maintenance. I thought it was fine because i never had any issues with it so i always assumed it was ok.

Wow, it's a shame to hear that someone did something that shady to an Evo. It's cool it all worked out for you, though.

There are a lot of newbies that can't afford the $300 front 02 sensor from the dealer and instead buy replacements from general auto parts stores and patch them into the stock wiring.

I'm sure the owner before Jonathan fubared it up as I know the seller of that car and he's a good guy.

Just found out mine wasn't working today and I bought the car almost a year ago. I had my codes pulled just to check, 7 of them!! I haven't pulled out my cluster yet but I would recommend to everyone who notices this to fix it as soon as you can. The test pipe code is a cheap fix and well worth it in my mind. There are so many possible codes it's best to have that light working, just in case.

Hope you get your car all fixed up, good luck.
