Ive noticed when the CEL comes on you hear a clicking noise from the drivers fuse box area.
However sometimes on my Legacy I can hear this thing click/tick a couple of times, usually when the car is hot and i come to a holt then set off, it ticks as i set off!
CEl doesnt come on though.
make sense to anyone,?
Im adding new earth cables at present and this seems to have stoppeed the CEL comming on, however this ticking/clicking still happens.

I have this with my MY93 WRX.
I think it may be something to do with the cooling system/air con. Seems that there is a relay which clicks when the car is near-stationary, and the throttle is fully closed.

I think the cooling fans only come on when the car is off throttle & at low speed? Therefore think it may be this relay that you can hear clicking (obviously didn't explain too well above!)

i notice it clicks after a certain amount of time and when your at certain revs.
Must be temp related.
Andi hows you doing? Heard you sold the STI for a my98?

You would be correct, well almost.
I sold the STi because i got a good price and i was SORRY to see it go. Now got a MY98 Wagon with some bits'n'bats inc: 18" OZ.

So Magnet,
What are you doing with the backbox?
You know i'd only just got the exhaust finished 2 day before i sold it to you, that pissed me off a bit cos it sounded lush.
