double check the code mate 43 isnt on the fault code list...
42 is idle switch
44 is wastegate control solenoid valve
think u will find the first flash is just to let u know its starting, your fault code is maybe 33 which is vehicle speed sensor 2
hope this helps

The MY93-96's can be remapped by ESL Live, thus keeping all the OEM ECU sensors/features/diagnostics, etc.
The MY97/98 need Apexi or Simtek (or other aftermarket ECU).
Stompers, I take it, by your question, that you have a pre-Sep 96 "phase 1" MY96 (small slanty iC and individual coilpacks-on-plugs)? If so, then it is mappable as mentioned above, so you still could have OEM diagnostics - whether it's an untouched std ECU or mapped by ESL. If you have a std OEM ECU case, you'll have to take the lid off to double-check what's actually inside.
All that said though, if you were defo getting the long and short flashes after doing the code read procedure, I can't see it being an aftermarket ECU that you have!
I'd recheck for the codes again - you may have misread it as 43 (e.g. might have been 42 or 44 or something...)

Wrong - see above ^^^.
It can't be remapped as is - but the addition of an ESL Live daughterbard does make it remappable, and still behaves as OEM i.e. with all the Subaru sensors/diagnostics untouched...
It's the specific "phase 1.5" MY97/98 3-plug ECUs which, so far, you can't remap by ESL Live, as it's not yet available (although they've been working on it since, seemingly, time itself began!...

hmmm now im sure it was 43 but now ive changed the throttle body as the old was was stiff as boots n done a reset ive now got a 42 idle control valve so ive reset the ecu and adjusted the idle speed to what it should be now ive found out how and the light is off so will have to wait n see what happens for now....as for the ecu im guesing its more than likly standered tbh

Ha. I took it as read that skinneyman's statement of code 43 is not in the list... But see here:-
Subaru Specific Trouble Code Definitions
...It's very much on the list - it's the accelerator pedal switch!

If you have a chipped ECU code 43 can be ignored. Its due to the map. I started a thread about it somewhere, as i had a code 43, due to my PP chip. Just ignore it.

i dont think this list is all included by the onboard system through ecl, dont quote me on it but as far as i was aware ther was only a small list of codes that will show on it, is this list maybe relating to a select monitor for as many codes??
