evo problems

i just got my car back from the dealer last week. new tranfercase put in. i have only had the car back for less than 7days . I was driving the car in downtown seattle and it just died completely. push of the street because i was blocking traffic waited 15 minutes then it started up . drove about two blocks same problem dies again. got the car to my work it starts up warm up for about twenty minutes and the just dies. now i just dropped 4000 dollars to korum mitsubishi to put in transfercase, timing belt, alt belt. they told me to get car towed to dealership and they will go over everything they did to the car. now being short on funds can i get the dealership to pay for towing. i am going to call in morning. now the car has power and tries to crankover but like is said if i let sit for a while it cranks over.

If the issue that you are having is not cause my the dealership then no they will not pay for the towing.

Is the car modded? is the car flashed? Has it ever had cams in it? Does it throw a code?

if you have full coverage insurance you should be able to get reinbursed for towing. but im sure if they just did all that its gotta be something they did. just get you parents or someone to front you the 120 bucks to get it towed then when u find out it was there fault give them the receipt for the towing bill and theyll oay u back 9 times outta 10. But you know how dealerships are with ours cars, it wont be there fault. It will be something else and if ur short on funds i wouldnt go back to the dealer!

hey bro not sure if you can check this out on the water but you got a bad idle air control motor. you really need to talk to this place that sold you this car man they sold you a car with a bad transfer case no front brakes, and now your gonna start losing sensors sucks sorry it kept dying on you and you had to tow it that sucks bro... Give lisa a call monday she has your price quote and for thr part and labor, also throw a pic of your car up here and see if anybody can give you some history seems like this thing was just hammered on and then traded in a sold to you.. Usually the next thing to go is the clutch yours is doing ok but thats no cheap repair either <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Luis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wait, so sifting through the horrible grammar... are you trying to say that you had his car check out yourself? Or are you just saying those are likely problems? Clarification ftw.
