are you all sure the car is still not in the warm up phase? i know sometimes when my car isnt warmed up all the way if i drop it out of gear to coast the rpms will raise (if my rpms were lower then the warm up point). Maybe you just didnt notice till now? Well ill let you all know if it happens to my car wed night

 

nope, i had been driving my car for around 15-20 minutes straight already.

 

i got this notice to but i bought my car from ford my question is will the factory warrenty cover a throwout bearing when i take it in for this recall cause its begging to **** up and tick my car has 50k on it ?

 

i just received my recall letter and i have a 2003 OZ lancer. flash for CC

 

Alright, I haven't seen my Rpms go UP afterwards. I've seen them stay for a few seconds on flat ground, but not moving up.

 

yeah it counts if they hang in the same spot for a second too

 

ive just gotten back from the recall update... i notice none of the rpm hang

 

hmm this must be odd... ok, so who has aftermarket intakes with the MAS not sitting level or parallel to the ground?

 

I have an aftermarket intake but im not sure tif the sensor is parallel to the ground

 

I have an CAI... i talked to the tech that did this... he said that this program might actually make the car run a lil better... it leans a certain section out so the cat doesnt have to work so hard and possibly burn up.

 

got my letter, but i think I'll wait a lil bit before getting it done...just in case...

 

i got the reflash...and when my car is slowing down in gear i get some backfires....sounds sick as hell....also when i revv it i get some backfires.....sounds like WRC.....i notice that is drives kinda smoother too....nothing wrong w/ idle so far either.....seems to drive nice....

 

so im guessin that if i dont get a letter i should be ok right >?? or should i hit them up about it anyway ?

 

just call them and they can run your vin...

 

UPDATE:

Car went to dealership today for them to figure this out... i was there for about an hour. they took it for a test drive, Re-Flashed the ECU to see if that was it, took if for another test drive, said it wasn't doinging it til the end of the test drive and it came back. So far I know of 5 that have had the problem, Slovak, Camaro, and I. And two more at Mentor Mitsubishi (ohio) the 2 at Mentor weren't as lucky, thier ecu's were smoked as the tech put it. He said they came back and were completely wiped ( granted im trying to figure out how the got there w/o an ecu telling it how to run... but they could have been towed im not sure... ).

The tech ordered a New ECU w/o the re-call flash and they are installing it next week when it arrives.
