Hi I'm haveing a bad day with my 1995 wrx. It was bogging at high revs so got told to reset the ecu so I done the wire thing. Now iv got the engine flash bit no codes and it now won't reset. What should I do ????? Plz help

 

Did the cel flash at a constant pace? And did you unplug the blocks after the reset procedure?
Are you using the black only connectors to read faults,and both black and green to reset?

 

Hi yes that's what I did but it's still flashing at a constant rate

 

Try the reset procedure again and once it starts flashing to say reset is done then switch car off and unplug both blocks. Did you hear the fans come on and the solenoid clicking when you started the reset?

 

Yes it all came on and off as it should. Iv now done the reset 3 times and still have flashing engine light. Car runs fine. Would it damage my car any if I just left it until I got it to a garage ?

 

Have you plugged just the black connectors and counted the flashes to see if it gives you a fault code?

 

Yes tried it a couple of times and it's the same flash.iv tried the black ones then green ones then both to reset but still the same :-(

 

You will probably have this info anyway, long flashes for 10's short flashes for 1's and a longer flash in between for multiple faults. The constant quick flash means no faults. If you have both the blocks disconnected then it shouldn't be flashing unless you have faults or you ecu is caput. Try leaving the battery disconnected for a few hours. If it's still flashing then I'm out of ideas. Drive it very steady until you can get it looked at. Or maybe another member might have some info on this?
Just one more thing,is it the standard ecu? Does it have the ESL or any other chip/board installed?

 

It's all standard. Thanks any way you've been very helpful. Will try the battery next thanks again
