Hey guys, had some problems with the Evo over the past few days... can I bounce some ideas off you to help diagnose?
2 days ago the head unit (Aftermarket JVC Double Din Touch screen) just went blank and restarted as I was driving home.
1 day ago on my 50 minute drive home it happened 3-4 times, most of the time after I'd been sitting at a set of lights for a while, literally the second I let out of clutch and started moving forwards. So at this point I was thinking "Maybe a loose power connection at the back of the head unit?", but it always started back up immediately by itself.
This morning I was cruising along eastlink at a hundred, Head unit went off like all the times before but when it started up (and was playing the radio just fine), but there was a message on the screen saying "Power off unit". A few seconds after I noticed that the engine gave a shudder and lost power for a split second, a few reds came on the dash (engine shutdown) and then it restarted itself with momentum and being in gear. The Check engine light stayed on until I pulled over, turned the car off and back on. Drove fine with no loss of power for the remaining 20 minutes of the drive.
Head unit went off once more when I was pulling into the carpark at work.
Thoughts?
Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have said that!
