I kinda did lol. The guy was going to split the cost of the fuel pump fix with me as a downpayment.
then all the sudden he asked, wait this is tuned on e85, I thought this was a pump gas car? I asked if even read my post and he said you have the 2010 WW evo x right? I said no I have the 2008 RR X...
Needless to say he was a tard, and messaged the wrong guy. I wasted like half my day of vacation last friday planning all the fuel pump stuff and working with the guy to get compression/leak down tests done and everything.
So after that I figured trying to sell the car with a bad fuel pump problem isn't going to work and I should fix it first and then sell.
The car is hard enough to sell for what I want let alone having a problem where you can't go WOT at 1/2 tank of gas. So we shall see what happens.

Not selling car now maybe?
Because...broke? Sigh...FML
Never ever had a P030X code that wasn't p0300, this can't be good...

Sounds like this...I haven't seen an evo x have a specific cylinder misfire code ever without actually having a problem that wasn't good.

Sounds like a tractor.
Did you check spark on cylinder #4?
Edit: Your youtube link is broken.

Before jump off the cliff, thinking new motor bandwagon, a compression test and coil swap is in order. PM me... I can bring some tools over to diagnose.

Wtf man? Idle sounds gnarly and nice to me! :P
Go through the basics as shawn said, move injectors, coils, run tests etc.

I just found it very weird that on Monday when I drove the car it was running perfect. Then I went out of town for a few days for work, start it, and bam yucky running evo!
I am just a pessimist with the evo now, but I was planning to do all the basics or moving coils/plugs etc.
I did check my injector plugs, that was it, just to make sure none had come loose.
More to come soon. Shawn, sent a PM buddy.

If it was running fine, then the next day started like shit, it's probably just something stupid. I've never worked on an Evo X, but apparently we live in the same hood so holla if you need an extra hand. If I'm around I can try to help.

Check logs on your MAF sensor....mine started running like ass and the sensor was not dead but was reading inaccurately....died a week or two later. You can borrow mine if you want to test it but quickest thing is to compare voltage at idle and see where it's at.

Sounds good, I will put that on the "to check" list.
I'll shoot you a text if I need to borrow it. But if shawn comes over maybe he will drive his evo to swap stuff.
