Factory reflashes, hesitation, stalling, and everything you need to know [merge]
#16
I am feeling the hesitation now that I am driving the car a little harder and hitting higher rpms. It feels like around 6000 the car suddenly gains 400 pounds and you feel a dip in acceleration.

Every dynograph and video of a X shows that the problem exhists. The ONLY person who has eliminated the problem was Vishnu using his Procede/interceptor module. AMS is going to try to use the AEM fuel control unit to smooth out the powerband and help with the stutter/glitches. I think the other group of guys with the 20g modified X have used the AEM unit but there car is still glitching/breaking up in that rpm range. Don't rule out the drive-by-wire system. That throttle plate could be closing up.
Also, is this not the same pre-production glitch that every single magazine test revealed about the X? Looks like Mitsu has been working on a fix for a while now. Good luck to all you guys.

First factory reflash !!!
I got the call this morning from my tech at southcoast that the factory reflash has arrived. I hauled *** over there and within a half hour I had the first reflash from the factory installed in California. The X is now a EVO !! It idles smooth (750rpm) ,revs cleanly to 7500rpm(just a hair over that and the rev limiter kicks in). I have a few mods on the car right now (straight exhaust and a cone filter) and the reflash seems to like them. Im putting a mbc on tomoro and a boost control. The performance is great and im not pissed anymore about a my purchase. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/im...milies/lol.gif

this is a great thing for me!!! Once I get my EVO X, if they haven't reflashed it themselves already, I can just buy the vehicle and have them flash it right then and there!!!! Sweet...

A rough idle, car would die at a complete stop sometimes,poor performance ( made no power over 5500rpm). But most of all real bad gas milage cause its PIG rich . The engine is leaner now and im pleased with the reflash but Im getting it tuned asap .

Hmmm, interesting. I don't seem to have a rough idle or bogging at low RPMs. I don't know about 5k RPM or higher because I'm still breaking it in. I am, however, getting pretty poor gas mileage ~ 16mph for the first tank. It shouldn't be that bad because I haven't really gotten on it.
When it's available at my dealer, I'm going in for the reflash. Sounds like it can't hurt and hopefully gets me some extra hp up top.

I called two Mitsu service shops here in Ohio and neither could find any release of a flash. I wonder if it is a CA flash only at this point because the emissions are different. If you have any more information or can PM me the contact info for your dealer I'd appreciate it.
