Have a look down between drivers side of the intercooler at the pipe that comes from the turbo into the exhaust. If it's got a big bulbous pipe it's likely to have a cat fitted.

If it's a plain pipe (possibly wrapped) then your probably de-catted.

I am wondering if you have a turbo actuator or a lambda sensor problem.

Check to see if you have stored faults by using this guide.

I would think you intermittant cel is knock sensor.

The fault codes indicate that you have:-

22 - Knock Sensor.
32 - A/F Sensor #1 System
53 - Antenna

It could have been mapped to 99/V-Power.

The "Cat" under the passenger seat is a resonator box for sound only.

Looks like an immobiliser type issue with a key without a correct chip in, would clear this and see if it came out again.

The Mass Air Flow sensor on a MY99 is famous for going up the swanney.

New Genuine Subaru one can be bought for £90 to 120 depending on supplier. Buy new and have confidence.

You can reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a few hours or as per the Scoobypedia Guide.

Check under the turbo to see if you have a sensor going into the exhaust. It should be quite obvious, this could be at fault but this is not being indicated with the codes.

Ok will Let you know How i get on at the weekend HOPE!! When iv fited me sensors and reset ecu the CEL light dose'nt come on. cheers the tropper

Hi all just put me new maf and knock sensor on went to reset the ecu by joining black and green wire's and following scoobypedia's ecu rest i Can't get the CEL to come up as it's allready on like when you normley turn key so i had å look under the dash and found whot looks like å small block connecter iv tryed to put photo up but dosent wont to work . Any advice very much appreciated

Hi all reset me ecu by following gollygreen mønster help pages still saying errer code 32 o2 sensor yet another sensor!!

Globy

Hey, I've the same problem with mine.
I've put a genuine MAF sensor.
When I turn on the engine the CEL doesn't pop up, but only when I drove it the light comes on, I don't know what is this.
The car shows some hesitations along 3000rpm,
The CEL is intermitent, goes on and off repeatedly
Really need your help

doobydo*

Hi globy i think it mite be your knock sensor or your o2 sensor as thats Wot was up with mine . As mine was doing the same have you joined the black wires together under the dash well there down by your feet if you lay in the footwell and look up you should see in the mass of wires and there should be some green and black wires . Wot my00 is it as mine is å my99 wagon hope this helps
