MY02 malfinction indicator light on (agen)-help please
picked up my MY02 wrx yesterday and drove it like miss daisy.
today i booted it >6.5k revs and the malfinction indicator light came on.
this happened on the test drive but the salesman said it may be because it was due its service.
anybody got any ideas please
cheers

I assume you've stopped driving it? If it's the engine malfunction light then must get it back to the dealer to sort it out. I assume it's still under warranty?

Just take it back to the dealer who will plug in the Select Monitor and work out what the CEL (Check Engine Light) code is.
I assume it's bog standard so it could be all sorts of things (real or false), Bugeye's seem prone to throwing up spurious CEL's such as a camshapt position error or other sensor "malfunction".
If you can still drive on boost and over 3000 rpm it then the ECU thinks it is not *serious* and has not gone into limp home mode.
It's a two minute job to plug in the select monitor (which looks line a very early Psion).......
