Does any body have this problem? This has happened to me a few times already. I would shift and then during the shift as the rpm goes down, the car shuts off. Today i was going like 50ish going onto 5th gear on a slightly curved road, the car turned off and power steering died causing me to shift 2-3 lanes over. Lucky no car was around and i manage to start it up before i hit the center divider curb.

Car is an 06 RS with the following mods;

QM clutch
Forge MBC
BR ported mani
BR ported hotside
Ported O2 housing
APR headstuds
GSC exhaust cam

a nasty boost leak...or bad EGR valve

 

boost seems to hold up fine. Its not throwing any CEL codes.

 

Have you had a Tune?

 

I know it's not a common issue on evo's, but i am just throwing it out there... crankwalk.. probably just jumping to conclusion but it's just a thought

 

Are you serious?

 

lmao

my guess is a vacuum leak or boost related issue

 

+1 on the vacuum leak. Believe me, if you havent done a boost leak test and you have more than 20,000 miles on your car with stock pipes and vacuum hoses you better check them. Boost leak test it! someone on evom has stickys about how to build them for cheap.

 

haha, sorry for my ignorance, stupid comment people. my bad

 

Weird, after installing my greddy ti along with a invidia tp i went for a test drove and things we're fine.

This morning i realize the car has a fatty *** leak somewhere. ****!
