Hi guys, I’ve owned a Subaru Impreza etc 1996 jdm now for around a yr, and last week the temperature dial dropped to 0 and the car started bogging and trying to cut out, when I press the accelerator peddle it sounds like it is going to die and smells of fuel, I’ve tried cleaning throttle body I’ve fit a new TPS and set to right voltage and it’s still doing it, it tries to backfire upon open throttle now and again, if I drive it the car hesitates, I bought the car and it was fine, it’s had a lot of modifications and has lots of wiring and I don’t seem to find an obd socket, I’ve tried connecting the 2 trouble code connectors together and there’s no flashing lights I’m really struggling with her now if you could please advice me cheers Chris

Wrx not etc lol

the fact you say the temperature sensor i assume you mean the coolant one on the dash is at 0 then i’m thinking the engine temperature sensor , it thinks it’s cold all the time so over fuelling , mafs can be an issue but are relatively cheap , other outside possibility but less likely is cam or crank sensor

Hi cheers for that I will try that I changed the thermostat thinking that was it so makes sense with the fuel smell thanks I will let you know 👍
