Ama Cars Sucks!

I bought my evo from ama cars and after they got the signiture down and while iw as driving home with the evo the service light turns on and i call back they said its hte battery so i brogth it to a shop and then they told me its the cat converter then later on they said theyll fix all the problems adn all of sudden i was downshifitn and drivin aorund theres a clunkin soudn while it was downshiftin and a squeaking nose form the rear i thought it ws the suspensions and the transmisson problems so i borught it bak to them and i didnt hve the car for 2-3days yet and i had to brign it back because they said they would fix it and then later on 2-3weeks later i get my car back and it was driving ffine until i get on the high way and im like wtf i started hearing squeeling noises and this was a used car btw (2nd owner only 17xxx milage) and i was geting frustrated and i heeard it was a walbro fuels pump but i dont know. then all 3 of the acd controls lit up and i was even more mad and i got my car back yesterday!! so im going to bring it to a mitsubitshi deler and then get a list of problems after the xcheck up and bring it back to ama cars and they better fix it right and htye keep saying htey brought it to a mitsubitshi delaer but i doubt it! it smells lik my car was running rich because droveo nly 11 miles and it wasted about 2gallons of gas.. i relaly dont know what to do because i was on the phone argueing with the people about my car.

check the air filter, check the exhuaust... see if it has a dp or something (thats if its stock cat back). I dont see any visual mods such as a boost controller so it probably wasnt tinkered with tooo much. Might have been a car a kid owned to beat up on until the banks caught up with him and had to get rid of it

I know when i bought mine used i was alllllllllllll over finding the previous owner and bringing people to the dealer to have it alll checked and I did everything in my power to make sure the car was never modded. Looked and made sure there were no wire ties, made sure some of the lines still had the blue and white factory pen marks on then, made sure the bolts EVERYWHERE had never been touched. I wanted a 2003 and thats it... mine was never ever touched.

Dude your post read like one of those mind teasers that's missing letters and yet you can still read it. Incredible.

Please fix the spelling errors. It is hard to read all that in that form.
From what you are describing, it sounds like either you dont have a cat (cat delete pipe maybe?), bad o2 sensor, or a bad cat. With the ACD lights, that leads me to believe that the unit is either low on fluid and cannot actuate properly, or that there is a failure in it. Also from what your said about the fuel mileage it seems that you have some performance modifications on the car. What are they? (what can you visually see that is not factory?) And do you know if the car has the proper ECU tuning? The tuning in itself can cause the extreme amount of fuel usage.
With these issues, they all sound like something that would be covered under the factory warranty (except the fuel mileage) if you had a modification friendly Mitsubishi dealership in your area. I would highly recomend that you take it to them and see if any of it would be covered, as that would remove the majority of your "headache/issues"
