Thanks. Sent you a text, but its open for any takers -

I replaced everything from the Head to the testpipe, including every gasket possible. All the factory manifold / O2 housing heat shields were removed, yet I still have the hunting idle and an intense rattling sound when I run the engine up to 4K (it gets asinine after that).

Cash prize and rum to who ever can figure it out.

Idle could be IAC on back of throttle body. EVO 8 had 2 different models. Some people get good results by cleaning(I did) or just replaceing it. The newer one has a spring.

Might help

I'll take a look at it now, I am having "comprehension" issues on how both the problems - the wavering idle - and the rattling occurred out of the blue. But here is the kicker, this idle waver, can best be described as a sin wave in the vibration pattern.

It's very steady up past 4K RPM, and and I haven't found a reason for it to be happening.

Things I'm going to attempt to check today -

1) Drive shaft
2) Drive shaft Heat shield
3) Balance shaft alignment (How can this become unaligned?!)
4) IAC - This is very low on the priority as the idle hunting is only 100 rpm max.

And done
