can you shed some light on this problem? Driving along every things fine engine check light comes on.Car still driving ok.I then notice both the speedo not working and the gauge on the Apexi rsm meter not working either.Check light has gone out and not come back on again but at every junction the car stalls.Its a 1997 sti version3 V-limited

What other mods have you done to your scooby?

Have you checked your ecu for error codes? if not then do so and see what errors you have then check them against the ecu fault codes.

the only mod i have done is put a apexi panel filter in.The RSM meter was already in the car.It still goes like stink so i assume its not in limp mode.I checked fault code and i get 2 longish flashes and 4 quick ones which tells me theres as idle control malfunction.

RJT

Car now in limp mode and showing 2 faults the second is 3 long and 3 short flashes.Gatwick mitsubishi tell me the car doesn't have a speed sensor on it can this be true or is it part of the cable

it is cable driven to the speedo and then an electric pulse to the ecu

RJT

hows that.Is a there a wire of some description from the speedo to ecu?

yes

but your most likely problem is a broken speedo drive cable or a faulty converter from km to miles if it has one

I know someone who recently had exactly the same thing (except no error codes logged) and it turned out to be a fried kph/mph speedo converter..

RJT

was beginning to think the cable was shot.It dosent have a converter.It still reads in yen as apposed to pounds and pence lol

RJT

Fixed it.All i needed to do was replace the lower part of the speedo cable.
