lost of power! is it pos to be my speedo sensor?
 

Hi all.

Right i have a problem that me and my dad are stumped on.

we have just replaced the clutch and driveshaft on my subaru impreza 1.6 1995

but now i stick my foot down i just have no pwer what so ever. it just doesnt go. feels like i am driving a 1.1 :-/

it also back fires and when i get driving the engine lights come on :-/

my speedo has stopped working as well we are completley stumped we was thinking would it be the chooke stuck on but apparently i have spoke to someone and they say it electronic choke so we have no thought would it be the speedo sensor as my speedo has stopped working?

needs help ASAP!

anyone no please :-)

clutch slipping ? wrong clutch ? try to read an error code when it throws up the check engine. i suspect its more todo with clutch, or a connector may have been undone as well, and not re plugged in. best bet is to get the code number for check light.

the car is in limp home mode as it doesn't know how fast its going , because speedo isnt working . ecu runs different fueling and ignition advance depending on how fast car is going . yours thinks its stationary :thumb:

clutch and everything is fine and does not come up with no cide number but thanks any way

madscob - we have just checked all of that and found there is no live going down towards the speedo sensor should there be one?

the speedo should be cable driven perhaps the cables broken

yes we think the cable for speedo has came unconected from back of speddo on dash but still dont no why we have loss of power anyone???

There is a clue posted above, try re-reading the answers in particular about limp home....

if speedo is disconected the car does loose all power and car goes into limp mode

thanks all we have sorted the problem and yes it was becaue the speedi had become disconnected from behind dash so as most u said it was because it was in ' limp mode'

thanks all :)
