anyone have any ideas on what this could be? (sorry about the spelling) sounds like the speedo cable is about to go, and when it does the engine management light will come on and put his car into limp home mode (limit him to 4500 revs). |

I had this on my old STi 4. It turned out to be the speedo converter unit - the speedo would stop working, the CEL would come on and it engaged limp-home mode.
Worth checking out. |
no worries,:thumb:
