anyone??????????????????

 

For what's worth.. Your asking owners of scooby's that have had issues with their cars in the past to analyze and give a medication online.

Take it to a garage. My car had the yellow engine of terror appear for no reason while driving to work... I made a call to PE who kindly took it in and diagnosed the " probable cause" and gave me very honest out comes and solutions to my problem...

I'm not knocking the judgement of readers on here but when someone says " it sounds like" online ... that's your call

 

Well hope the nps works cos I just ordered one

 

Good luck hope that helps !

One question. Are you resetting the ECU when you've done changes?

 

Yep but it is actually cheaper from a subaru main dealer or very similar in price but you can be 100% sure that they will get you the right part for your car.

 

Yes resetting everytime


Main dealer quoted me £47.99+vat. I read out the part number to them and they said it was right so when it comes I'll check the part number again.

Can you tell me just exactally where the switch goes???

 

it goes in the top of the gearbox

 

cheers mate, i gather its easy to get to?

 

on a 5 speed it is easier yes

 

Got the front end up ramps which made it easier.
There are 2 switches on the nearside of the gear box towards the back.
One is the reversing light (forwardmost) the rear one is the NPS. The most fiddly bit is releasing the electrical connector. My switch came with a fairly
thick copper washer the old one was thinner which I used again just to make sure of maximum throw on the switch. Once I found it it took 5 minutes to change.

 

Cheers mate

 

Well changed the nps and guess what no change. Looks like its gonna go into Subaru to try and get sorted. Or does anyone know anywhere in west Yorkshire I could take it?

 

anyone?

 

mate i had all this crap with my my02 sti 2 years ago,was coming up with 0304 missfire on 4,after loads of messing was advised to change nps and on 6 speed its not so easy,done that and still come on,i ended up having it removed by jollygreenmonster via the map he had done on it,by the way subaru main stealer nicked £50.00 off me and said oh its the maf sensor mate defo the maf !!!!! same one still going strong 2 years later so they just make an un-educated guess in my eyes.it would have been £350.00 for nowt if i said ok !!!

 

up

 

does nobody know of a place where i can take the car in west yorks?

 

Hey guys just exactally how many oxygen sensors does a bugeye wrx have. My diagnostic only reads two but don't know if that is right???????

 

yep only two one in the headers/uppipe and one switching sensor in the centre section.

Am up your way next week Sedge if you want me to pop in and check it over ?

If you pm me your address I can confirm date/times.

 

update for you all

its been in the garage this morning and they reckon it could be the exhaust valve gone cos when they tested the pressure and it only read 30LB. apparently it should read 120LB+ so looks like it could be very expensive: cry:: cry:

 

well sorry but KT Greens dont know what there talking about, i took the car to Richard Henry Motorsports this morning and within 5mins he had diagnosed whats wrong with it, all it is is the main wiring that runs just behind the battery, well one or more is corroded or split, i just have to find out which one it is then re-splice back together.

Massive thanks to Andy at Richard Henry Motorsports for the help

 

Glad to help

Andy.

 

Top bunch of guys at RH
