This might sound wierd but similar happened to me. I used to have a cpe hfc before my current ets. My afrs were all over the place. I also smelled gas a lot but couldn't find any leaks. I found that the weld fit the cat to pipe was broken 80% around the pipe. I took it off to get welded, they told me that the weld was fixed but the cat material came loose inside. This was not allowing smooth flow and was spinning inside the pipe ( not supposed to). Got new hfc, no more issues. Since you checked everything else, pull your cat and see if it moves inside.

Jay Racing is in Dayton and he specializes in DSMs/Evos. I would go to him over TIC any day.

Brad doesn't work there anymore, but Tony or Pat can very easily fix your problem.

They are the only place I let touch my car, if it's something I can't do.


I've never had any experience with Jay Racing so I can't comment on that.

Does anyone know of a local EVO 8 short block for sale?

HELP....our friend Carter blew his engine (punched a rod through the block). He needs a new short block.

Please help.

I no longer have my Evo, but I still take care of my friends that do. Unfortunately this time things happened at the least expected time. So....we will be doing a complete engine swap and tune from scratch.

Again....if anyone knows of an evo 8 engine for sale...we need one ASAP.
