Hey everyone my Evo VIII decided it wanted to stop working over the weekend. I left from thursday to sunday so it sat the whole time didnt run once but was fine when I left it. now It was all sorts of issues.. It is running sluggish..not good throttle response but still goes inot boost fine ite more the low end. (thinking i need new plugs). but My ACD lights came on after driving it a little bit and will not go off..full fluid and just had the filter replaced by STM 3 months ago. Neither of my HIDs will turn on and stay on so i have to run my fogs for lights. On occasion the passenger one will come on and stay on but driver has nothing going on. I checked my terminal connections negative was loose so i tightened it..no difference. And my water temp gauge has stopped reading at all.. Still gets power just not functioning. Idk where to begin with this and its extremely frustrating.

If anyone has any input on troubleshooting this please helpppppp!!!????

Check the connectors in drivers kick panel. Chances are it's time to get out the soldering iron.

I remember when this issue first came up. I pulled the kick plate and found all those white wiring blocks still looking pristine and gave a sigh of relief. But, I still doped evey thing up as best I could.

Seems like ill need to have someone who knows how to do that look at it..I hate dealing with electrical problems! could that be cause the ACD to be all glitchy too?

So it turned out to be a loose battery terminal on the negative side was loose...i tightened it..withing a day the ACD stopped throwing faults and both HIDs started working properly and the water temp gauge wire that goes into the thermostate lifted out so i need to somehow shimmy it back in so it will start reading again!!

On the thermostat housing there are two sensors. The one in the front is for your gauge and the one in the back is for ecu temp readings. The wire just plugs onto the one in the front for your gauge so I don't understand how it could "come out". If the connector is messed up you could just strip the wire a little and put a new connector on the end of it and plug it back on to the tip of the sensor.

Ill try that..and scratch what i said about it being fine...ACD is still fine but HID's are still not working right...they come on stay on for a little bit then one will go out then the other and they will both stay off :/ so frustrating
