hey people, got a 1993 wrx saloon fresh import, but the 'check engine' light is on and the revs dont go beyond 5000rpm??? any ideas on what this could be??? cheers

 

Runing in Limp mode?

 

Do a search on here for saxonfield. It is a site that gives you info on reading the error codes so you can find out what is faulty.
Does your speedo work?

 

As roofer says, it sounds like your car is running in safe mode. Couldn't tell you why without looking at the car. Where abouts are you, sure someone could give you the name of a reputable garage near you.

limiter still on?

 

is your speedo not working?

 

yh m8, speedo is not working, just had the mileage clocked to represent miles instead of km and the warning light came on on the same day i had that done. since clocking, the speedo and milo-meter dont work???

 

If your speedo is not working your cel will come on and limit you to 4500rpm probably disconnected the cable part coming from the speedo when they were converting farting around with it. Nothing serious, Take it back to them.

 

The silver bit on the right should be plugged into the back of your speedo,have a check and see if it is in properly. Im guessing they also put a kmh/mph converter on as well? have you checked that part is connected as well, chances are it will be one or the other. welcome by the way son

 

excellent m8, thanks for your help, much appreciated, i was worryin me b******s off

 

good advice - am current having this problem myself - going to be fixed monday
