I have an annoying issue with my Evo6. Basically it only really manifests itself when I have the head lights on.

What happens is the electrics of the car blink for a split second as I get to 10mph. It only happens when I come to a complete standstill and the pull away in 1st. As I reach 10mph on the speedo the electrics blink. It happens whether in gear or not and having watched headlights on the road its a split second blip in the lights. It always happens at 10mph.

I am baffled by this one as I have checked all the earth points (which are fine) the car has a newish battery and all contacts are good. Any ideas guys? Could it be the alternator? or a switch of some type that is enabled when the car gets to 10mph from a standing start? I certainly don't notice it during the day with normal operation of fans,stereo etc. but to be fair its only the fact that I can see the blip in the HUD illumination when its dark which alerts me to it happening.

All thought most welcome

so does this happen when rolling downhill to 10mph at idle?

I haven't tried it downhill to be honest. I can say though that if I use the the throttle to pull away and then take it out of gear and coast is still does it. I have found though that if I continue to roll in traffic and drop to say 5mph and then pull away it doesn't do it. The blink in the electrics only happens when I have come to a complete standstill and the pull away and once I hit 10mph it blinks.

Very strange indeed......it almost appears that something is switching in at that speed or something?

try with a/c off i found a slight kick as fan comes on and off for air con,there is an earthing upgrade pack available somewhere,jap electrics of this era not very refined!

I will try it with the fans switched off - but I am not convinced mate.

Thanks for the advice - an upgraded earth kit might be worth a go I suppose.
