Charlotte Area Evo Owners
There is a meet in the CICI's pizza parking lot across from the walmart in moorseville tonight if anyone is interested. A few of us should be out there. If anyone is interested we plan on arriving around 8-8:30.
All 3 ACD lights came on during my drive to work this morning. My gut says it's the ACD pump and it needs to be replaced. My car luckily is still under the 5 year warranty until March of next year, so I'm dropping it off at Larry Jay Mitsubishi at lunch today, hopefully they do a decent job on my car.
Steve did it happen when you started the car or while you we're driving?
If it happened while starting the car you should be fine, mine does that sometimes as well, Just restart and it goes away.
If it happened while you we're driving thought, that might be a problem.
Call me sometime foo
This is the Charlotte area thread, I don't think any Charlotte guys are gonna drive out to Moorseville for random meets.
Just pointing it out
Just figured I'd throw it out there.
Well, since I did, Frank did, Kasey did, my buddy Darnell who has an 8 all did...I'd say you were wrong. And the meet isn't some random meet, these Tuesday night meets have been going on there for a few years now, and there is a large turn out...

Well you're a bit snappy.
My point was no CHARLOTTE PEOPLE will come out to that, but you apparently.
But I'll give you an A+ for the effort!

If you guys don't deem it necessary to drive out to Moorseville then by no means do you have to. I was simply providing information that I had of a meet, as some people may just want to get out. The offer still stands though for every Tuesday.

Here's what I've learned, this may already be obvious to others.
(1) While the car is running the ACD fluid will actually go below the min line, this tends to freak some people out but is totally normal.
(2) Once you turn the car off, it takes 90 minutes at least for the ACD fluid to get back to the max line. Again, this freaks people out who check the level before 90 minutes are up.
(3) Use only Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP3 fluid in the ACD reservoir. It's relatively cheap, around $6.50 a quart from the dealer, I bought two so I have plenty left over if you want to stop by and top it off. It's a thin red fluid.
(4) You can actually run the ACD pump without turning on the car. You turn the key to the last position before you can crank the car, then press the accelerator pedal, and you should hear the ACD pump running.
(5) Three ACD lights at the same time can mean multiple things: (a) ACD fluid low (b) ACD pump failing (c) brake sensor (d) fuse short (e) air in ACD system

News to me, thanks for the intel.
I'll check my levels
