I just got back from spending about 3 hours getting my EVO towed to the dealership. I'm driving down the road and it starts sputtering like it is just running out of gas but it had three quarter of a tank. Anybody have any idea why this would happen at 3.5K miles?

 

Has to be something with combustion.

 

Throttle body Hose POP off?????

 

i had the same problem... it turned out to be a bad ecu

 

I don't think so..but yesterday I head a strange pop comming out of the car. I thought someone threw something at me but couldn't see anything.

 

hopefully its not an engine issue
i posted a thread earlier about my test drive experience on the evo 9 the enbine just blew up cuz it had no oil in it but i doubt this is the issue here

 

Maybe an intercooler pipe came loose.

 

Or a falty float in the gas tank?

 

Sounds like an intercooler hose popped off somewhere. Usually the rubber elbow that connects to the throttle body pops off (in my experience). It's a good idea to always carry a ratchet and socket/wrench/screwdriver/etc and a flash light in your Evo @ all times. Saved myself a few times already, in fact.. it happened on my way to work the other night (and I just happened to be late already ).

 

I just got the oil changed about 200 miles ago. I noticed on the freeway this morning that it was running a little rough at around 5K rpms (100-110 mph).

 

Now the truth comes out!

 

I had a similar issue that also required a tow to the dealer. It turned out to be an intercooler coupling that popped off. Did you get a check engine light? Hopefully it's just that. Very quick fix.

 

This REALLY sounds like a intecooler hose just popped off. Check all the intake related hoses under the hood.

 

Tahnks for the advice. Hopefully that is all that it is and I can get it running tomorrow.

 

Thanks guys; the car is already sitting at the dealer but now I'm not so worried that its something major. I just got my APS exaust system from Japan so hopefully I'll still be installing it tomorrow.
