HELP WITH ENGINE CHECK LIGHT
HELP WITH ENGINE CHECK LIGHT
Hi guys
quick bit of help needed,twice now within 2 months my engine check light has come on whilst driving home both times at low speed and both in very wet weather/with snow aswell today.have only just had de-cat downpipe fitted but quite sure that this will not throw up engine light on type uk new age.having re-map with jolly green monster in a couple of weeks but was just wondering if this is anything other people have had/having.once ignition turned off and back on few hours later it does go out
any advice greatly received

Basically get the code read either at your local dealer or Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Knowledge / Reading ECU Fault Codes

my engine check light comes on now and again due to having no cat, but it never goes of again, first time it happened i had only just got the car from a garage, so they paid the 30 quid that my local subaru dealer charges to put it on the diagnostic thing, i've since bought this on ebay U380 OBD2 KKL OBD 2 diagnostic code Reader Scanner U380 on eBay, also, Diagnostic Tools Equipment, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 20-Nov-08 10:10:22 GMT) ive used it a couple of times on the impreza both times it was the same code relating to the lamba (no cat) also used it on a mates car and it got the right thing as well, also lets you reset the light as well.
ive seen them cheaper on ebay as well from uk sellers, but i got mine from these and it was delivered in 2 days

cheers guys
the ebay code scanner looks good not bad price either.
am i right in thinking that simon(jolly green monster) will be able to stop light coming on through the re-map on the ecu !

ive read that they can turn of what ever setting checks, for the lamba so it doesn't throw it up again, even read of some cheap resistor trick that you put in the plug for the lamba,
when i get mine mapped after xmas now, holiday and some other supporting mods first, i'll be getting mine turned off as well, good to have that code reader though, i'll be able to see what over faults (hopefully none touch wood) i get, or even mates cars
my mates car was misfiring even told us which cylinder,
thinking of using JGM myself looking at the stickers on the garages car who rebuilt my motor he did his as well,
