I'll throw in another vote for "Fkin Cold".
I have the same Service Required - With the picture of the front wheels turned to the right.
I just called a dealer (I'm down in Calgary for the Holidays) who told me that it wasn't a big problem, and that a lot of the Evos have been coming in with these. He said something along the lines of cold weather playing havoc with the viscosity of a lot of the fluids, then the system shutting down because it thinks something is wrong. He also mentioned it should go away after warming up everything, but I have yet to see it go away...
I don't think everyone has MAF problems, but I certainly can't say for sure.

^ Indeed I did.
Any luck with yours? Have you had any further issues or successes? I'm thinking about reading/cleaering the code(s) to see if it will stay off. Or, just disconnecting the battery for a bit to reset the ECU. Haven't had time to play with it.

Still no luck and I have no CEL. I think I am going to platinum mitsu today to get it checked out.

k so they told me they have had 3 evo MRs in and they all had the same problem. They think it maybe a pump for something (can't remember what he told me it was for). The engineer at mitsu told him to replace the pump to see if it solves the problem. But they will not order anymore in until it is proven to work. It seems as if this cold weather has f'd up our evos here in Calgary. I have to call them back to see if they solved the problem on Jan 5th. If anyone heres anything post in this thread or PM me. I would like to get this fixed.

Im sure its cold weather, as I seemed to get this before anyone I've talked to did. And it was colder here for longer. Doesnt seem to matter how cold it is exactly just that its cold for a extended duration.
I recieved my accessport today which hopefully should be able to read DTC codes as well as CELs (cause I have no cels).
I also let my car warm up for 2 days in a heated garage which didn't do anything as the other member had said.
