95 WRX Import.

Speedo not working (May not be related)
The car will not rev above four thousand RPM.

Check engine light on. Any clues?

it could be the speed sensor on the box is unplugged/damaged wire etc, I think the sender goes to the dash and ECU on a scoob, so if the ECU is not seeing speed it may throw a check light and go into safe/get home mode. if there is a delimiter or mph/km/h converter fitted check it is okay.

Must be a fault with the speedo converter/cable as there aint much to it. We will fix that first. Is there anywhere on the net that you can download the flashcodes?

Speed spensor is fault code 33
My 95wrx got the same prob, got it back from the garage yesterday speed sensor and cable cleaned and oiled okay for few hours and then it happened again. I think now i need a new cable and/or a new dash! Plus my car doesn't start!

BTW heres a useful link
