Maybe its just depressed now and doesnt have the will to live anymore

 

So Mitsubishi called me and they can't figure it out, LOL. They said they are going to need a bit more time with the car. Unreal. Can't even fix their own damn car.

 

You need to understand some problems can't be solved right away...

 

I completely understand that. They should know the car though.

 

Can understand your frustration.
Once I waited 3 months for Pontiac to replace a 350 tuned port motor.
It took 3 short months, but that's a long time ago.
At least they agree there is a problem & are willing to fix it, that's 90% of the problem, so a correct diagnosis.
Worst case a tech come in from hq & it will be fixed.
Also at this point, I wouldn't rush them let them figure it out & get it right the 1st time, you don't want to go back or have another failure due to a rush job.
Good luck with your repair, some cars are just a bit moody than others.
Maybe yours will be an easy fix, again good luck.
I feel your pain, it's ridiculous you doth have your evo backs

 

I'm on the phone with them now. They told me to call today. They replaced the fuel pump and fuel pump housing and said the car runs better but that wasn't the main issue. They are now telling me they are replacing the ECU.

They are ABSOLUTELY giving me the runaround and I think they have no idea what they are doing.

The first Mitsubishi dealer I brought it too told me the line off the wastegate was too long and that was the issue. He wanted $400 to fix it. I told him to give me my keys and I'm not giving him a dime.

 

Now the car is being pushed back to a Saturday delivery of the ECU and Monday install.

note: I deleted the swearing and other not-allowed parts of your post; I'm sorry that your car isn't working, but let's stay within the rules, please - Iowa999

 

Did you tell them all of the things that had been done to the car previously? Do they have all the information you have?

For example, if you put a back-to-stock Evo in front of me that is running lean, I might not think to clean the MAF's hot-wire since the OE filter has no oil. But if the car used to have a K&N filter (which a lot of people over-oil), then I'd know to check the MAF.

 

The car did have a ETS intake on it with a K&N filter so this is definitely a possibility. I did not tell them that the car had mods on it. They asked me if the car has ever saw race fuel, I told them no because it has not. It saw E85 though.

 

Wait, come to think of it. I did tell them the car had a ETS Catback Exhaust and ETS Intake.

 

That wasn't completely clear to me. Did you tell them that it had been run on E85 or not?

This would be another good "for example." If you have the same injectors in the car as you had when you ran E85, they could be partially gummed up by a tank of bad fuel. That rarely happens on E15 or E10 or whatever you get in your area, so they wouldn't bother to check it. And it would not show up on a fuel-pressure check.

Unless your local dealership has better-than-average techs, they will not make the jump from "ETS intake" to "the car used to have a oil-type air-filter, so we need to check the MAF."

 

So you returned a heavily modded car back to stock to get warranty work, yet you are complaining that Mitsubishi is taking too long and "doesn't know how to fix their own car"?

Let's just hope they don't come one here, see your thread and put 2+2 together...otherwise warranty voided. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I'm not complaining, thanks for your input though.

 

Out of curiosity, why did you put it back to stock? Selling it? Lease over? I will be doing this once my lease is up so I'm curious in the outcome. Good luck

 

Selling it!

So just an update. Got a call they put the new ECU in and problem solved. Not sure why the ECU was messed up. Now they are getting a code for a faulty cat... so now they are replacing that . Problem after problem. Hopefully the car will be good after this.
