my engine light has come on again for the second time in two days.
i took it too subaru yesterday they plugged in the box o' tricks
it came up "emission temp too high" they cleared the fault but it has come on again.
should i stick a bit of gaffer tape over it an forget about it or take it back an get them too clear it again?

What age is the car?

pslewis

Do you have a flame-thrower kit attached as I've heard that they can set off that sensor!

my bugeye normally did it if I hit the rev limitter, I ignored it on the advice of the mechanic at the scoob garage

is the exhaust not standard?

jimmymc

ive just had a h&s decat fitted but it ran for over two weeks without a problem, now this. its a uk300 (my01). i dnt think it can cause any damage and the car still runs the same the technician just said they are very sensitive.

ragnarock2

have you installed the CEL fix that the bug eyes need to fool them into thinking the cat is there?

jimmymc

Is that cel kit not just for full decat systems? i forgot too mention it is only a centre decat. soz

Old_Fart

No, my MY01 WRX would set off the CEL with just a decat rear..PITA.

Aa i better look into this ! tsl sell the thing im looking for eh?

ragnarock2

AFAIK, Scoobysport sell this item, but looking on their web page it seems more geared for people who have the decat up/down pipes!

They say on the we page it will stop the following error code :
P0420 “Catalyst below efficiency threshold

So it may be worth finding out if that is the error code you are getting, and speak to Pete to see if he thinks this will cure it!

engine management light
my bugeye 01 PPP does it somethimes when I hit the rev limiter in third,
resets lightafter 3 re-starts, if no fault, the light goes off.
Did have a knock senser go coz the light was on all the time, which was replaced under warranty,sorted.

sorry lads might have been a Crank position sensor
either way the dealer sorted it while I waited, can't say fairer than that.
