IDLE PROBLEMS.......

[EvO9marine]

LIKE THE TITLE STATES I HAVE IDLE PROBLEMS. I GOT A RE TUNE AND ITS STILL ALL WEIRD. IT STALLS ON ME AND MY RPM'S FREAK OUT. WHAT CAN BE THE PROBLEM??? I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO SCM TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT MAYBE SOMEONE WILL KNOW WHATS UP. but other than that the X is the shit!!!! the X's stood out at MOD!! O0

[blkside]

Well there is nothing about that Mitsu tune that is any good. I still had issues with mine.. Here is the surefire fix for it...

Get it retuned with mike at roadrace and earn yourself 50hp in the process... too easy...

[EvO9marine]

ok so there is nothing that SCM can do to fix the problem?? wow!!! WTF. i will get a tune on this Evo for sure. i lagged it on my IX.

[evokid_23]

yeah get it tuned

[AaronI1]

Yes, get a ECUTek tune. it woks wonders

[EvO9marine]

yea i will take it to RRE for my tune once i get some mods in. i've been lagging it....

[sheizen]

yeah sounds like you just need a good tune

[EvO9marine]

yea i just need more mods then i'll get my good tune O0

[blkside]

lol, i just bought a house bro. i'm short on money now. i still need a full exhaust and some intercooler pipes. its alomost going to be 3 months with the X.

Do you have an aftermarket intake? Just wondering, because I know some people were having idle issues with aftermarket intakes, separate from the idle issue from the factory.

thats the least he could do

[EvO9marine]

there is an idle relearn, and tcv (throttle control valve) relearn procedure that should be done after the factory reflashes.

1. disconnect neg battery terminal for a few minutes
2. reconnect terminal
3. turn key to on position so all lights illuminate in cluster, but dont start car.
4. after key in on position for 10 seconds or more, turn key to off position for 15 seconds or more.
5. let car reach normal operating temp, then shut vehicle down for 15 seconds or more.
6. final step, let car idle with no loads(a/c, headlights) for at least 10 minutes...

i have worked with a few x's with some irratic idle problems, and this has cured them so far...
please let me know if this helps..


randy


ok this is what Randy sent me. i've done it and it works. its weird but it did. you guys should try it. O0

[JOOTZ]

^^^ that would be good for all X owners with idle problems

[EvO9marine]

well my X is freaking out again on the idle. that little shit i did didnt last long. well i guess i need a dang tune.

[dinan3]

maybe the maf sensor. I had a bad one in my x and threw a new one in and problem solved. I had the same idling problems after a tune.

[NativeSS]

you have anything other than a tune installed lately?

[dinan3]

:mitsu:is the problem fixed? keep us posted.

[strat10]

Im still having the same issue, before and after the CAI installed bt RRE. It really doesnt happen very often, but when it does it varies by like 500 RPM. Now the GF thinks my car is posessed.

[EvO9marine]

i gotta get a tune!!!

[HardRideCafe]

Don't know if you guys found any solutions to this yet but my car is having idle issues.Â* Before I put on my intake the idle ran fine, so I know it's not the MAF.Â* Then I got a tune thinking this would fix the idle problem.Â* But it didn't help at all.Â*

I'm gonna try this idle relearn, I'll let you guys know if it works. But any help you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks

[HardRideCafe]

The Idle relearn didn't work.

[EvO9marine]

The Idle relearn didn't work.


bro these X's are freakn weird!!

[HardRideCafe]

Alright someone must know how to fix this problem... have any of you guys tried going to south coast to see if they can help?

[strat10]

My X had a bad idle, but the Mitsu re-flash took care of it.

[EvO9marine]

just realized that my idle problem is gone. SWEETTTTTTTTTT!

[HardRideCafe]

just realized that my idle problem is gone. SWEETTTTTTTTTT!


Do you think it's because of the cold weather or did you do something to fix it?

no bro. i dont think its the wheather. i did nothing to fix it. i have 11k miles on it. its probably now broken in, lol.

[anthonyfur]

i hate idle problems

[HardRideCafe]

Just wanted to let you guys know I was in Big Bear this weekend and my idle was stable. The elevation was at about 6000 ft and the temp was 18 deg F. The thing was the car started to idle at 900 rpm and stayed there. But I don't know if it was stable because of the temperature. Anyway I come back down to the OC and the idle goes crazy again. Booo

[EvO9marine]

not cool man!!! idle problems suck!!!

[cy08x]

my x was fine untill i installed my HKS bov and aem intake, then i started to notice this issue. But its weird becuase its not all the time its like random. IDK fuck it!!! I'll get a tune later and hope it takes care of it

[EvO9marine]

well today i was racing a freakn Jeep SRT8. all of a sudden my car jerks and slows down. its still running both with less power. i get off on the street and my idle is stuck at 2500rpm's??? can anyone help me out?
