I have a 2006 evo9 with a road tune by scott from TTP. well yesterday while driving home from tampa my car suddenly lost power and now will not restart.
my car is not really all that modded just a tune, turbo back, DV, intake filter and MBC. a friend of mine tried to read the ECU but nothing will come up???? any ideas what might have caused this? everything seems to work and turns over but will not fire!!!.

 

Go back to scott...

 

Sounds like you blew a fuse. Was it raining?

 

yeah actually it was raining... would the rain actually cause a fuse to blow???? im going thru the fuses shortly.

 

my battery seemed kinda weak too.

 

sounds like an alternator went bad, probably drove on the battery till it gave out, so the battery has no more juice to start it, have you tried jumping it and have it start?

 

Because the rear O2 sensor is in a vulnerable area and if you ever strike anything on the road and metal of the wires gets exposed on the O2 sensor wires, when it gets wet it can pop a fuse.

We have been doing this for 14 years now... We have seen it all...

Check the fuse box by your left knee, a 10 or 15 amp engine fuse.

Then check the underhood fuse box, there are about two engine fuses there as well. It is likely that one is blown.

Good Luck.

 

funny i just got finished working on my car, i come back to post my findings and see your right on the money.just wished i had seen your posting earlier. i did find where the 20 amp engine fuse "engine compartment fuse box" was blown. replaced the fuse and it keep "blowing!" at that point i knew there was a short "somewhere" and found the chaffed 02 sensor wires. replaced the bad 02 sensor and all is well now. well sort of, now i need to get a wideband.......... :-)

thanks for the help for sure you guys know your S#i+... no doubt.
