Help my evo won't start
Hello I bought a 2005 Lancer Evo 8 off of an auction and drove it 800 miles to portland Oregon and it was working fine by then. After a week and a half went by i went to open my car with the aftermarket viper alarm system and noticed that it wouldn't unlock. So i manually unlocked it, and the alarm went off. I tried to start my car with valet mode and stuff but it wouldn't work, so i got my car alarm uninstalled hoping that it would let me crank my car since it had a kill switch.
After someone took out the alarm system ( since I hate working with electrical) the car still wouldn't start. He said that I had 12v coming out of my battery but only 10v was coming to my ignition (i think). I don't think its my starter, alternator or battery because I replaced the battery and had everything tested before I drove it 800 miles.
Have any of you had this problem?
Please help

Try getting a jump. If it starts, disconnect your battery and see if it stays running. If it does, measure the output produced by the alternator. Unless something mechanical happened it's likely a low battery caused by a drain in your electrical system or an alternator that isn't charging properly.
