None of these issues are extremely technical. I'm not a mechanic or technician so I decided to keep the issues I discussed simple. Let me know if you would like for me to discuss other things!
Good info brother, I might add to that list- the throttle body shaft seals, crank position sensor, cam position sensor and also the 3/4/5 Bar MAP sensors on tuned Evos
Wanted to keep it on the realm of simple things. When getting into sensors, those kinda require a diagnosis. I might do a little more in depth vid on other issues. The throttle body one is a common one I should’ve added though.
This is a really good, surface level video for owners or potential owners. The only thing that seems a bit too much for the novice is the addition of the HLA and upgraded pan. Oil starvation won't be an issue without sticky tires and some decent aero
Thanks! I agree on the oil starvation, however there are some folks that want to track their cars as soon as they get them and this is cheap insurance..
@@CJ2X Hi CJ and Shawn, I'm planning to get an evo 9 myself from a friend of mine. To cut story short, it is a bone stock evo (with only aftermarket exhaust, and about 260,000km mileage) but the oil needs to be top up once a week. Question is: is it common that that oil consumption like so? or is there something to look it like piston, rings, turbo leak, etc.
Good to know about these issues that's not been address on youtube before. Especially the electrical gremlins. My passenger tail running lights comes on when i start my car and it usually takes a few switches of the headlights on/off for it to go away. Will look into it.
Thanks for the video man! Really great small things that never get mentioned unless you know "a guy." Definitely helps alot for when I have the funds to acquire an evo
Thanks for the tips. I already have my Evo 8 from 2009. Sometimes the ACD pump not work for electrical conection problem, but usually the three lights on means the pump is over.
Had my Evo about 7 years now and just found this video. I knew it was a good video from the first issue ( gas door ) I'm literally doing the same thing as far as putting a water bottle under the release and using the key to open the door lol. Thank you for this video. Now I get to go order parts from Tucsons shady Mitsubishi dealer lol
Any tips for Modders that own 4G63 motors is a bonus bro!!! It helps the guys/girls out that just purchased a EVO or that have only owned for a few years!
good tip about the ignition switch. i have the exact same problem which i keep on changing starter from used to new, but problem persist, wasted a lot of money buying unnecessary spare. Now i know i can try a cheaper way by replacing ignition switch. Thanks!!
Man right off the gas door hit home 😂😂 bn dealing with it for yrs. My ignition switch was going bad and I just cleaned the contacts and it seems better. Good video👍👍
Absolute 💯 with your content as usual bro, still don't know why you ain't got more subs! One thing I'd love to understand, is how the boot mechanism works, basically my trunk was replaced with a Seibon carbon trunk and has no wing but the trunk is unable to pop up by itself and I have no idea how to fix it. I have to hold the trunk open with one hand every time I want to get stuff in and out, pain in the ass, if you can do a brief video on that or share something that would be awesome dude 🤙🏻
@@CJ2X no, it just dis-enagages the latch but you then have to pull the trunk with your hand to open it and hold it, nothing supports it. I tried to research it but couldn't find anything out there. ☹
@@Gattsu1986 so.. You have to pull the latch in the cabin and prop it open, then head to the trunk and force it open? I’m having a hard time envisioning what the issue is.. Does your CF trunk have a key lock?
@@Gattsu1986 seems like that’s an issue with the trunk rods. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the issue you’re facing. Best advice I have is to join the Lancer Evolution Tech Talk and Troubleshooting group on Facebook and ask them.. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on there.
@@CJ2X basically what you said is correct, you lift the lever in the cabin, it successfully disengages the latch so when you go to the trunk, it can be lifted with your hand, it just doesn't swing open or hold itself up like it's supposed too, it's annoying as hell. Thanks for the recommendation bro, I don't have FB but I may set up an account to try get some support cause I'd love to fix that issue. Looking forward to some more content, TC mate ✌🏻🤙🏻
awesome video, just subscribed. Look forward to seeing more. question, when you swapped from 6 speed to 5 speed, did it require any tuning? I did the swap, and now the car boggs so bad while driving, its almost undrivable. No boost leak.
I’m not a tuner, but you have to think that each gear has different parameters and boost levels. Your ECU is probably super confused on how to lay the power down.. I would definitely get a tune ASAP!
@@CJ2X awesome, thanks. I have an appointment may 7th to take it to a speed shop, they are going to double check the tranny work, as they said it shouldnt need a tune. But your way of thinking is exactly like mine. The ecu has got to be confused.... But yeah, speed shop may 7th, if he cant fix it, i'm towing it to a tuner. Thanks for the in put
I couldn’t tell you man. I’m on E85 and don’t drive the car enough to notice. If I had to guess, I’d say around 200 miles to the gallon driving conservatively.
Brilliant video! I’ve had the electric problem many times it’s a pain. You don’t know what would cause a clunk or thud on downshifting? It’s just started today 😢 im hoping it’s just the diff bush’s because I’ve just done the gearbox and clutch.
some great tips here my dude. got some problems with my evo 9 gsr dropping in revs after switching to reverse with full steering angle atm. Ever experienced this before? I am questioning the steering pump, but don't exactly know if there may be some other issues. It's like it needs more power. Think you could lend a hand? :P
I have a similar issue in reverse. Mine completely dies if I don’t continue revving it though. It only does it after I’ve been driving and then back up to park or something. I haven’t been able to narrow it down.
I think most issues come down to how people treat their car. I had an '05 IX for 14 years, and never had any of these issues. The only issues I had was from mods/changes I did to the car.
Hi. I’m going to look at an Evo IX to potentially purchase. It’s supposedly pretty much stock w/lower mileage. Any other tips on things to look for when inspecting the car?
Check that the clips are still all in tact under the headlight. Make sure it’s not bent. Most time they snap right in. My IX always had tight gaps so not sure just figured I’d try to help.
Can u explain how fitment is assessed for wheels and how offset matters when u don’t want to roll your fenders. For example my 2008 TL Type S I’d like to keep stock height and keep the same wheel size 17 inch. I appreciate your knowledge 👌👌
Interesting place to ask but offset is the measurement from where the wheel hub mounts to the hub/wheel bearing in the car. If you were to cut the wheel in half, that’s a 0 offset. Anything towards the rim of the wheel is a + offset and anything passed the other half is - offset. Majority of regular cars use a + offset unless you have a wide body. Anyways, Offset affects fitment because the “more aggressive” (closer to 0), the more the wheel is going to poke. Additionally, the more aggressive an offset is, the more concave the spokes tend to be.. I hope that makes sense.
Oddly my ACD lights come on after 45 degrees heat in Australia, then when I try to go up my steep driveway it won't active my rear wheels to drive!!! So I basically have to wait till the temps go down, until I can drive it into my garage! Been meaning to get another pump or get it rebuilt.
Doood, what front lip is that? I have a evo 9 and that's similar to that do-luck style lip I want so badly. Nobody makes them anymore! Been looking for weeks
I’ve had it for over a decade.. If the car wasn’t white, it wouldn’t really matter to me. Check out @illumaesthetic on IG if you want a custom cluster.
Hey, I was wondering if this would be a good daily/ first car? I would have to drive it in the snow and I will try to get the most stock one I can find for a fair price, also any drive chain problems?
I personally don’t think it’s a good daily driver.. Not because of reliability issues but because it’s a “rowdy” car even in stock form. It’s loud, stiff, bad on gas and lacks amenities of a modern car. I actually made a video on it as a first car: Is an Evo 8/9 a Good First Car? th-cam.com/video/8J_TNq3xyiw/w-d-xo.html
I just bought a 100% stock Evo 8. A question about the transfer case comment, would this be like a lack of oil issue? Or an issue where the car has been beat on?
hi, sometimes when i hit the break lightly and it makes that squeaky sound, i asked my auto-shop guy he said it's common issue for brembo. is it true? is there anyway to stop it
3 ACD lights isn't always a dead pump, the system is tied to ABS and it's associated sensors. So if you got 3 lights get scanned before you blame the pump.
1. Can also get the fuel filler clip from the junkyard on 2008+ Lancers. 2. ACD pump is crazy expensive - I think I paid $1800. 3. Inside the fuel filler area, water lays down in the channel near the body and sometimes seeps down into the body, eventually rusting out the fuel filler area. A$$$k me how I know.
This is my dream car, I’m only 16. Do u think I can learn manual off this car? Are they hard to drive? What age did u buy this car at? And is maintenance of the car expensive? Insurance? I wouldn’t go crazy, I would keep it more stock. I want a 8/9, and do u know if e85 destroys your car? It’s cheaper than premium, but if it destroys your car it’s not worth it just for the hp IMO. A mechanic I know says it destroys your car overtime. Sorry for all the questions just really curious about the evo 😂
Damn.. I’m sorry I didn’t answer this. Must’ve got lost in translation. I learned manual off mine but already had an idea of how to drive manual due to motorcycles. I was 21 when I bought it. The car is expensive to maintain now that they’re becoming more rare and parts are becoming more expensive due to supply and demand. They say E85 destroys your tank and lines due to not having any detergents but I haven’t had any issues. These are all questions I plan on answering in the future.
@@CJ2X But was it easy to drive? Did u break anything when learning or burn the clutch? I found a 48k mile evo 9 for 30k 1 owner. He might do 20 something, dream car for me and honestly good investment

So my switch isn’t changing the lights to anything other than gravel, the 3 lights aren’t on it’s only the gravel and when I hit the switch it won’t change it to any other option. Any ideas?
@@TheFinnishTH-camr reliability is usually a relative term. The owner is typically the reason why a car is reliable or not reliable. In my experience, Subarus aren’t reliable unless you absolutely don’t modify them and baby them. Evos can take a little more abuse. If reliability is your biggest concern, I’d say get a Honda or Toyota.
I paid them $13,000 to get the car right than this happened and they want another $13,000 and above to rebuild the motor,now my car in drive way with that results
I did rebuild my Evo ix fq-340 MR 3 times xD After 3 hours in dyno and 556bhp and 722nm it broke down a 4th time just a hour later.. then i switched to Bmw´s.

Yeah. Today we don t have time to wait for wrong answer for a week😎
Nice car!
Sorry for the late response. Thank you!
Are you by chance listing this car for sale? I have to ask
@@zipone_1726 he said this car will never be for sale.
@@ramiahwhitney9 I don't blame him,
@@zipone_1726 ^^what he said..
Plans to ever sell the car? I sold my last IXa couple years ago and miss it.
Car will never be for sale.
You can open the fuel tank from the trunk just pull the cable up lol
Dam kinds putting me off getting one
They’re great cars.
I ruined my Ralliart hood vent. I wish they still sold them
Hi I’m John I got evo 9 I got tuned and now my car had knocking noise and it won’t start what caught it happen please help me please
I recommend you take your car to a local technician. I’m not a technician by any means.
Damn it. I can’t justify spending 25k+ for an evo. Lot of little problems and parts are scarce these days. It really will be just a dream….
Any car once heavily modded or even slightly modded will have issues
Agreed
Hopefully I’ll have enough to buy one next year, there’s a shop down in FL selling a 93k mile evo 9 for 23k
Very helpful video!🐐
Hope you get one soon man! I’d hurry if possible though. They’re getting more and more expensive!
gas door spring lol 5 bucks on ebay i used a card to open it for a long time.
Pretty sure it’s about the same price at the dealership.
Is an Impreza wrx sti a more reliable or a better car?
Ummmmmmm.. 😐
@@CJ2X Is that a no? I have no idea which one is more reliable.
@@TheFinnishTH-camr reliability is usually a relative term. The owner is typically the reason why a car is reliable or not reliable. In my experience, Subarus aren’t reliable unless you absolutely don’t modify them and baby them. Evos can take a little more abuse. If reliability is your biggest concern, I’d say get a Honda or Toyota.
@@CJ2X Thanks for replying
@@TheFinnishTH-camr Unless it’s an Evo X it’s more of an daily driver Evo
I paid them $13,000 to get the car right than this happened and they want another $13,000 and above to rebuild the motor,now my car in drive way with that results
Jajajaj the first issue is one I have in mine😅
I did rebuild my Evo ix fq-340 MR 3 times xD After 3 hours in dyno and 556bhp and 722nm it broke down a 4th time just a hour later.. then i switched to Bmw´s. I Would say the accupump is SHIT also on evo 9. I had a fully forged 4g63t with MaxxEcu and external wastegate with a garett gtx3076r. I really dont like 4g63t engines anymore ;D Here is a movie when i drive on ice if someone want.

Good for people that don’t have the car but might scare them from buying one.
For me this video did absolutely nothing!
