@@m.t.v.7934 when you have vacuum leaks it definitely can cause issues with your idle but there are a few sensors that can also mess with your idle as well. If you want to check if you have a vacuum leak, just start spraying something like water from a spray bottle onto any vacuum lines and the moment you spray it onto a vacuum leak the idle should stop surging. Just take your time spraying so you can identify where specifically the leak is coming from. You should also be able to head an audible hissing noise if you have a vacuum leak. You can start to feel around each vacuum line if you hear a hissing sound and the moment your fingers cover the vacuum leak, the idle should become normal. The Idle air control valve (IACV) could be bad on your car as well. I’ve purchased several for my Evo and had the idle act differently with each IACV I installed. At least for the Evo, it sounds like it’s a common part to go bad and it sounds like many people have replaced them and instantly had no more idle problems. The problem is the price can vary from $20 to $350 or more and I’ve heard several people say don’t buy a cheap one because it’s hit or miss if it even works and could act up quickly after installing. I was always told buy direct from the dealership to have the best chance but those are pricy, especially if it’s not the cause of your issue. The throttle position sensor and the cam sensor are also some of the sensors that can cause an issue with idle surge as well.

@@itsnevo8757 Thank you for the reply. Do you know if these two issues would throw codes? (throttle position sensor and the cam sensor)

@@m.t.v.7934 I know on my Evo I didn’t always have a code when the idle was all over the place but I think with my Evo it was a combination of a vacuum leak and bad sensors

@@CO_EVO_8 I feel your pain! Also check the hose that goes from the intake through the firewall and to your boost gauge. Mine was dried up and split on one end so as soon as I fixed that, it seemed to help on my car.

@@MindofMarvel I just ordered them from my local Mitsubishi dealership

@@user-lo1yx2zv8d the O2 sensor signal wire is white. And the ground is just the black wire connecting to the ECU. Sorry for the delay, I’ve been swamped with work so I haven’t had an opportunity to look at my car to give you the answer

I discovered my boost gauge wasn’t reading vacuum at the range it should be at and I was able to track a leak in the rubber line running from the engine bay into the interior, it looks like it was a factory line that was capped so it would be easier to connect a boost gauge. That rubber hose was really dried out and had a split of about an inch where it mounted to the hard line in the engine bay on the passenger side by the firewall. Since fixing that issue I haven’t really noticed any new idle issues but I haven’t really been driving it much. I travel for my job so I haven’t been home all that much lately.

@@migmigs27 the 1K I used is the brand Soray Max 1K Fillclean. There’s a local auto parts store in my area that professionally mixes paint for collision shops and other customers and they had both the 1K and 2K versions of this clear. I have used the Duplicolor 1K in the past and it too works, but I think this other 1K clear has a better finish.

I agree, there is a lot of truth to the statement that Ferrari builds motors and you get a car with it. The focus for Ferrari was always the motor, the design was always done by companies like Pininfarina. The craftsmanship of the rest of the car wasn’t really as big of a priority for them. Previous to me owning this car, it was always kept in the Southern California area so it was driven year round and it was a corporate owned car for the first 44,000 miles so it was daily driven quite a bit. From what I’ve heard, the headlight motors get dirty and then start to fail but they can be disassembled, cleaned out, regreased and will often work again so that’s the route I’m going to go. Currently it has almost 73,000 miles on it so it’s been used more than many Ferraris

When you see the taillights in person they don’t flicker, I think it’s just because they are LED lights and for some reason they have a flicker effect from the frame rate that it is recorded with.

Hmm, I’ll have to look at my car and see if I can help you out with that one. I’ve been out of town for work so as soon as I get back I’ll take a look and get back to you on that one

Thats awesome!! I’ve always wondered how many A6 TDI’s are out there similar to mine! Since I replaced this taillight, I haven’t had this issue. I don’t know if there’s a better way to get the taillight to be sealed up tight so moisture cannot enter the taillight but it seemed like the original taillight was constantly giving me error codes. It almost seemed like the original lens wasn’t fully sealed all around the lens. I tried adding silicone before I replaced the light, but kept getting codes. Luckily I haven’t had any coolant issues at all. In fact, the only issues I’ve had with this car at all have been with the lane departure camera going out, the taillight issue and I recently noticed I have a cracked brake rotor. I have new rotors and pads for it, but haven’t had the time to replace them yet.

Yeah, the interior seems pretty cheap to me. I guess back then they thought wrapping leather around everything meant high end luxury lol

Honestly I’ve kept it completely stock and I haven’t had a single issue other than the lane departure camera needing to be replaced. It’s been an amazing and super reliable car! I’d definitely recommend one!

That’s awesome!! I totally agree!! These are amazing cars to drive for sure

It is funny how large that bumper is but I don’t think the car would look right without one that large lol

I’m finding lots of cool features every time I visit the Lincoln

I’m definitely going to replace them. The conditioner just keeps the old ones from becoming brittle and falling off

The part I like the most is it was designed to be a modern version of the Ferrari Daytona so it gives people a whole new appreciation for the design when you take that into account. There’s a reason for the shape and vents

Thank you! I agree!

The part of the light that was not working was a LED light so it’s not just an individual bulb that you can replace, it’s a whole assembly.

I haven’t had a single problem since I’ve purchased the car. It’s been extremely reliable but that was probably due to the previous owner doing maintenance regularity at Audi dealers, it wasn’t neglected.

I was able to find them on EBay. It took a while to find them but eventually after checking every day for at least a month, I found them

@@itsnevo8757I want these but dunno if I’ll be able to find them. Might do an aftermarket option but don’t know if the curvature of the gas pedal will work

@@jonj4357 my advice would be to search for these pedals by their part number MZ360062EX. Sometimes people have random parts laying around that they have been collecting and they forget what vehicle that part is for. I’ve found lots of rare parts by that method. That part number is for the silver pedals, they also had blue pedals available at the time as well but I don’t know the part number for those. I totally understand, sometimes aftermarket pedals fit right on and sometimes you have to try to rig something up to make them work. I remember seeing lots of OEM pedals for Mitsubishi listed on eBay and I’m sure Mitsubishi probably has a pretty consistent size and shape of pedal for most of their models so if guess if you found a pedal kit for any Mitsubishi around the same era, it would probably fit.

Thank you! I also have the 1/18 Bburago and the GT Spirit versions of my car. Funny thing is I don’t really remember this model growing up, I guess I always payed more attention to the Testarossa, 308 and F40. Over the years I’ve owned the 456 I’ve actually seen it in a new light and appreciate it way more now than back when it was new.

Awesome!! Thank you for this suggestion! The issue has kinda gone away for the most part but I will be building another motor at some point and it would be great to know trouble areas like this for when it happens with the next motor

Unfortunately CZcams won’t let me upload just pictures….do you have an email I can send the photos to?

I posted a diagram along with some pictures where those wires connect in the steering column in a post but unfortunately I’m out of town right now and won’t be back home until December so I can’t get any better photos Go to my CZcams page and it’s in the communities area

There were a few but it seemed like most were either Japanese or German lol

It was pretty amazing!

Yeah, that was pretty sweet!! Lots of work done to it

Thank you! No problem! Nice! I wish I had the time to get more videos up close of each car because there were lots of cool cars that are really rare to see around today like your car.

Well it helps prolong the life of the turbo so the oil in the turbo doesn’t bake when you turn off the car after driving hard and it also offers a few other monitoring options like air fuel ratio and battery voltage.

Not just the turbo. The fan is working and is cooling the radiator. Thus, the engine and transmission is cooling down too. Heat is the enemy for powertrain. And cooling helps to mitigate all the issues related to turbo, engine and gearbox problems.

the turbo is water cooled. turbo timers don’t do anything. idling isn’t going to cool your car off any more than just shutting it off.

@@Controlfreq Thats what im sayin...turbo timers have and always will be rice

Unfortunately I did film that part but for some reason my phone decided to delete that video for some reason. I sanded it down and then I painted primer only on those areas where the paint was chipped off. I sanded it a bit more to make sure the surface looked smooth and then I sprayed several coats of the storm metallic grey paint onto the center console without a clear coat. I didn’t want to have a high gloss or a matte finish so keeping it just the base coat made it look pretty close to original. I may also paint the trim around the radio and climate control panel so I’ll make sure that part of the video is included lol

@@itsnevo8757 Got it, thanks!

Thank you! I bought it for $16,000. I suspected it was due for a timing belt change because the previous owner made it sound like it may have been changed one or maybe two times in the past. The previous owner only had the car for about 6 months so it sounded like he wasn’t really sure about the maintenance history. 10 minutes before the timing belt snapped I was actually on the phone with the Mitsubishi dealership asking them about the timing belt service. My plan was always to rebuild the motor anyways and because the timing belt snapped I bought a second motor so it kinda worked out anyways. I can now rebuild the original motor and still drive the Evo until it’s rebuilt.

Thank you! No problem, glad to share!

Yeah, it’s a shame people didn’t take better care of these 928’s. I think the interior on this car really makes it extra cool.

I love the interior!

It’s actually for sale in Pontiac, Michigan right now at LBI Limited.

Yeah, that thing was pretty sweet! A lot of work and money was put into that build and it shows

I’m sorry, I skipped some cars that had groups of people blocking the view and ended up missing a few cars by the entrance and all the cars right by the river. I planned on making a lap near the entrance and getting all the cars near the river but never got the chance

No problem! I wish I could have gotten more in-depth video of each car but unfortunately at the time when I started filming I didn’t have much time

I know there was lots of good stuff I missed filming but I was hoping to make another pass and get more but never had the chance

No problem! I have gone to the Detroit one one time before and heard there was another one last year that I somehow missed so it would be cool to let others know the event even exists.

Awesome! I’m glad I can help! These are great cars! Just watch out because if you buy an earlier one, I believe ones from around 2012 or older, they had some issues with timing chains or something like that so it could require more expensive maintenance

I actually had several spray paints and sprayed them onto a piece of plastic to see which one matched the factory color the closest. I took the whole panel surrounding the ash tray and shifter off and painted that as well. I believe the color that I ended up using was Duplicolor BGM0522 Storm Grey Metallic which is a GM color.
