Hey all,

My dad has an 02 WRX which, to me, sounds like its knocking. Although, only slightly when the throttle is applied very mimimally at standstill, when more throttle is applied the noise is not there. Although, from what I know of knocking, I thought that you can hear it from idle and when revved, hard or soft?

Any ideas chaps? Car drives normally otherwise. Could something be loose ?

Thanks in advance
Kosta

Never been rebuilt. Only when warm really. Why would the ECU put it into limp mode, never heardof that one before? Would the ECU think its det or something?
