this might be kinda out there, but when u initially couldnt start the car, was the battery dead? i was thinking if that was the case, it might have erased something in your ECU that is now preventing it from starting (like a tune setting or something along those lines causing the car to say “this isn’t right”) ---

^ yeah but a re-flashed computer wont lose the tune when the battery dies. trust me. that would be expensive if you didnt have your own tuning equipment. ---

o i heard somewhere that if you left the battery dead or disconnected for long enough it would reset itself. ---

^^^ yea, thats just the fine tuning (learning) that all ECU’s do, the base tune is still there ---

> [@Inn-Tune](#): > > On some setups you are absolutely correct, but not with the type of reflash he has. isnt that more likely to happen with a handheld tuner, like a Hypertech or Superchips type thing, or odes it more ir less depend on the car? back on topic, any progress with the EVO yet? ---

I think the basics need to be covered first. You’ll drive yourself nuts thinking about all the reasons why its not starting. You need a service manual. There are steps and procedures to properly diagnose a “no start.” ---

There are steps and procedures to properly diagnose a “no start.” Good thing Mitsubishi still sells these in a paper version. I believe the service manual runs about $150 if Im not mistaken. Klemann picked up one at Dan Georger, but I believe it’s a “special order” item and takes a few days to get in. Good luck getting the whip running again. ---

Ah… Had you mentioned you were running Iridiums I would have suggested you remove that crap from your car. 🙂 Stick with NGK coppers and you’ll be in good shape.
