hey guys need help doont kno whats wrong with my evo 2006 IX ...it has 23k on the motor basically stock ...nothing done to it .....feels like the car has no power ...all the maintance is done ...when it needs to be done ....i dont drive the car hard so i dont kno whats wrong...any tips ..do u think im just use to the car by now ....one thing i havent change yet is my dropin filter its been 7k on that k/n ..u thinkk thats the problem..

 

Check for boost leaks. Thats the first thing. I have a K&N in my car too with 8K miles on it and its fine.

 

boost leak

 

You need to give us more to work with. But you can try to see if your pipes are not leaking boost?

 

Define no power??? no power when u WOT? coz u said u dont drive it hard so how can u tell if there's no power?....

 

Dumb question......how do you check boost leak?
Would that be something to notice with a boost meter?

Nevermind....found a thread on it.

 

oh boy. contact a local shop and see if you can arrange for them to do a leak test. There is a tool involved in a true diagnosis.

 

Check your UICP and LICP connections for leaks.

 

check the airbox snorkel under the hood that connects to the airbox and make sure it is secure. If the tabs that hold it onto the front support are missing, broken or loose then the hood could be blocking the air flow to the the engine/ air filter housing. Also make sure that your k&n wasn't over oiled which could cause your mass air sensor to get bogus readings, if so just clean the filament with electrical connector cleaner that comes in an aerosol can at any local parts store, let it dry which happens pretty quick with that stuff and put it all back together....hope that helps

 

Im going to say your probably used to the power. Happens to all of us..

 

thanks for all the help i'll look for the leaks ,,,,it just sucks when u baby a car and it acts up....maybe im just use to the power .,,,,driving on the highway going 70 and a busted hoopy drives by u with eise.....really sucks ...

 

Boost leak, check the spark plugs or even a slipping clutch. Use you head and check everything!!!

 

He has a IX, why not just take it to the dealer to take care of?

 

yeah thats what im going to do take it to the dealer before my warranty ends ,,,,another question.....what is knocking that everyones talking about ,,,just wondering ...this is my first evo so dont really no about this stuff//

 

^^^^^^^^^^ knocking is when people knock on the window of your car asking for money or if you want to race. is that right?
