the other day i decided i wanted to "just" remove some extra wiring i'm not using anymore. well, that has turned into a full harness tear down. should be nice when it's done, if it works still.

this is what i pulled out from BEHIND the front seats (towards the back of the car) before i even opened up the dash.


hidden under the dash. a majority of this wiring should go.


interior harness pulled out. started removing all the tape, clips, and looming.


i fell asleep on the floor last night about this far.


need to finish unwrapping the interior harness, trace everything i know/think/hope i can remove. de-pin from the fuse box or ecu, depending on what goes where. clean it all up and make a nice clean skinny harness. then on to the engine bay. i'm sure i'll end up wire tucking it and moving the fuse box/battery inside. OCD FTW.

 

^that...does not look fun.

No plans other than to auto-x in SS.

 

DANG... (Joe Dirt voice) that looks like just a couple hours of fun!

 

Ya that looks like a pain in the ***.

 

Congrats on the RWD fix, I know what you mean and I love my new RWD I have owned 5 awd cars for the last 5 years its nice to get back into RWD

I wish I still had a stock ECU then I would have a better running car lol

Ya does anyone know if cars and coffee is still going in every weekend?

Haha come on D this is cake walk compared to you engineering books you read for school

I hope to have them paid off this year or the Evo paid off

Haha I think that would be easier than building a new harness from scratch tho.

 

Exactly I already have a ton to read as it is I don't need a novel from you every week on top of it

Ya probably but not by much.

You need to get your internet already btw.

 

It's always nice to drive a fun rwd

 

some progress. really hope the car still fires up after this

 

I was driving into work this morning and just as I was turning into the parking lot the car stalled.
Now it will not idle without stalling, I can start it and as long as I feed it a little gas it runs. I checked the IC piping and it seems fine. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Hmm , any codes ? Vacuum line , Or an ic pipe would be my guess. Maybe a bunk cas or really dirty pump filter?

 

Check your idle air control motor ... Mitsubishis are known to konk out; the Evo not in paticular, but its been known to happen.

Checked all the IC piping seems ok. I stated it up again and it Idled for about a minute then when I revved it it died again. I don't know where the idle air control motor is.

 

On your intake manifold

 

No, It is on your throttle body. Gearhead has replaced many of these and helped some one here diagnose it.

Here are some links for some pics, it is on the bottom of your throttle body.

 

That sounds like an ISCV problem, try to find one used...new they are about $350-400.

It's a small black knob with 3 screws mounted low the throttle body.
