Mates Jap wrx engine light has come on and fans kick in straight from cold,

dont know why but one of his green plugs is missing so we cant do a diagnostics check

Anyone got any ideas what may have gone ????!!!!????

 

Green plug is gone as in cut off or as in can't find it. Assuming it hasn't been cut off it'll be there somewhere - look harder !!

 

had all the cowling off, just left with some lonesome wires

 

If there is also a relay in the engine bay clicking the car is doing a diagnostics check. Check to see if the 2 plugs beside the diagnostics port are touching each other.

 

Sounds like engine coolant temperature sensor. Are the black plugs there, or are they cut off too...?!

 

Does the car start? Or is it very difficult to start?

As above, sounds like coolant temp sensor, around £30 for a replacement.

 

black are still there i think

It seems to have sent the car into "limp home mode"

not boosting, or running like it should

 

Connect the blacks then, turn on the ignition, and see what the error code is. My money's on 21...

 

will have a go

keep an eye out will post the code tommorow

*anyone else want to place a bet*

Im giving good odds.....lol

 

You'd never get a job at Ladbrokes, giving good odds on that one...!

 

I know but i know nothing about gambling so it would be bankrupt in no time

 

Nice one...
