Today I had attended Maywood evo meet. What could I say it was a lot fun and a lot of troubles for me. First of all my car died 1.5 miles away from the dealership where the meet was. I got the car towed there and that where the fun begins My car was not even off the tow truck when my hood was poped and I had at least 7-8 people taking it apart to see what is wrong with it. 2 hours later we found out that the crank sensor was bad. What a luck that the dealer 10 miles away from Maywood had the part in stock cause the next dealer that had them in stock was in Michigan . I got a ride to there and picked it up thinking that it would be an easy fix. But guess what... To replace this freaking sensor you have to take half a car apart so its practically impossible to do it on the parking lot with lack of tools. So I went to service guy to see if he can do it, but the service dept is closed. I thought I was out of luck to drive my car home. Fortunately the owner of the dealership allowed the tech to work on my car after hours as long as he is the only one who works on it. What could I say 3 hours later my car is alive again!!!

I would like to say THANK YOU to everybody that helped me today!!!! Thanks to Mike, service guy, AJ and friends, and all others who did not let down fella Evo owner today. It feels great to be a part of such a great community!!!!

 

They are a great group of guys. Freakin missed the meet cuz of work...

 

Yes the are the best!!! I'm not going to say the name of the worst yet (the guys that screwed up on my timing belt change) Let see what are they going to do with it

 

great to hear you got your car fixed and at least you had a good experience with maywood mitsubishi... g/l in the future!!!

 

whoa, when i was there we thought that is a fuelpump. /if you was with the blue evo/
At least your car got fixed !
i saw you with the bunch of guys working on your car.
Now you experienced what is really means being in the TSE enviroment .
I glad after all you got a good feeling about the day. Against all odds.

 

me too

 

i was on my way there got pulled over by elmwood park cop and got 4 tickets for loud exhasut which is not loud at all no front plate tint on rear plate and fake inspection by the time i got there it was to late and no1 was there day kinda sucked for me

 

oh boy, sorry to hear that.

 

be prepared to pay $500 just for the fake inspection alone. They might drop a couple of your other tickets but they wont drop the inspection ticket. I got a fake inspection ticket in rahway, nj. When I went to court there was about 15-16 other people there with the same ticket. They dont care about your story. There were people there that were driving cars they just bought, and there was people there driving some1 elses car. Whoever gets the ticket becomes resposible and is up to you to file a claim to whoever gave you the inspection. GOOD LUCK!!

 

thanks ! good to know!

 

We pulled the check engine code and was the sensor.

 

you said that there was an installation error with the timing belt..... so was the belt off a few teeth?? was the sensor damaged?

 

Sensor was loose and it was rubbing against the timing belt And I just heard back from the guy who did my repair, crankshaft pulley bolt was loose as well
