Default nooby scooby in need

hi i am a complete beginner when it comes to scoobys and also a beginner at mechanics but if i can be told of the locations of my problem and how to solve it i can do it so i dont want an answer of take it to a mechanic if i no it can be done at home

anyway my problem is i have had my engine management light come up i plugged in my scanner and got the codes P1090 P1092 P1097 i know there are answers to the problems for each given code but instead of me trawling the internet for hours sorting each problem out i would rather a guy who knows his stuff tell me straight up hope someone can help thanks!

Did a quick Google search and found these answer to your Codes... I`m no expert as to what they mean, but here you go....... (Hopefully a member with more error code knowledge can explain What the code decriptions mean)

P1090
Tumble generator valve #1 (RH) malfunction (stuck open)

P1092
Tumble generator valve #2 (LH) malfunction (stuck open)

P1097
Tumble generator valve circuit #2 (over current)

Link to page I found............ http://www.i-club.com/forums/engine-...r-codes-44311/

Hope This Helps...

A good picture of of APS' website where you can see the STi intake manifold with the TGV's bolted to it. On the lower right hand side of the picture you can see an unplugged sensor right above the word intake. I can't remember if there are four motors or just two but you need to locate those and verify they are plugged in on your car. it is possible that one of them is stuck or has died.

i think you had the same problem as i did.what i found out was that the tumble generator valve at the back of the engine in front of the turbo had melted and kept the management light on.all i did was to replace that part and it cured the problem.as i said i am possitive it was the same code what came up on my obd meter.
