Worth buying a scan tool there only £15. I bought mine off eBay awhile back. But you can pick them up most places now.

Buy a used set of coil packs and swap over. Should be able get a set for £25. Matty has loads on here.

Ok mate cheers for advice

Andycat

so swapped the coil packs light still on.....garage did a compression test.....and its low on one cylinder ...

dont know what to do for best its my daily driver
is it worth fixing at a garage or just selling as it is drives perfect at min its a wrx 03 standard

coilpacks, plugs and low compression would NOT cause an EML normally (unless it a misfire code) so you need to know exactly what the light is illuminated for

I was a misfire code
