I drove my Evo for the first time in a few months today and it wasn't running correctly. The problem is the rpms wouldn't go higher than 4 thousand and the exhaust was also smoking! Any ideas on what this might be?

 

MAF not plugged in?

 

I double checked, the MAF is plugged in.

 

could be an intercooler pipe popped off

 

I checked the pipes first thing! I'll double check in the morning.

 

Is is in Valet mode? (Extra feature added when you get the car tuned)

Wouldn't explain the smoking exhaust.

 

Turns out one of my hoses had a small hole, got it replace and everything is fine! thanks for the help!

 

Which hose?

 

yeah please better explain the culprit...was it a coolant hose?

 

Yeah it one of the hoses connected to the intercooler.

 

Ah...you had a hole in your intercooler piping? Glad you found it!
