Hi just had my 94 wrx out today and it will only do 70mph flat out in 5th ,seems to be holding back,when it is at 70 mph the revs are at 4000 and the turbo is at 0.10 but the car holds back any ideas??

Sounds like limp mode to me.
You have a problem somewhere
Go though the usual, what fuel you using, any mods etc.

wah

Check ECU for codes as well

This may sound silly but is the speedo working?
Jap imports go into limp mode if the speedo is disconnected...

wannascoobydoo

Just leave it and at least you won't need to come on here posting about being done for speeding on the motorway!!!

evonorth

Isn't that flat out for impreza's only joking

Eckmcmann

try reseting the ecu mate, maybe that'll disable limp mode?

wannascoobydoo

Im assuming for this to be done, it will have to go to a specialist?
I am going to book it in for a diognstics check if all else fails im sure that will cost me a fortune

lists error codes aswell as detailed way of resetting, might help.

(ignore the my99 bit in the thread, just pasted it from a search i did the other day)

does the engine sound loader,i think its prob limp home mode due to coil pack failure my95 had that happen due to overboost because i put a bleed valve on it,ive learnt my lesson now i wont do that again.if you take the battery leads of over night reconect in the morn you will reset the ecu then you can swap the coil packs around to find the one thats broken,shop around though for coil packs there priced differently at every subaru dealers.good luck daz

Thx everyone will keep u updated

Dracoro

You're not allowed to go over 70 on our roads anyway so what's the problem?

mart360

you need to get your error codes up to give us more idea,

it could be a number of things causing the prob,


go and do it now, it only takes 10 mins max

Good point ,but there are some fast 3 wheelers and i dont want to be smoked by them it will do the scooby's no justice

wannascoobydoo

Update,The car is running alot better ,part of the problem was a couple of splits in the air pipes around the dump and the acuatior may be on its way
I hade an error code and it was 23 mass air flow sensor so the pipes got changed, so it is a lot quicker im going to reset the ecu and see how that goes

[Davey]

I thought the limit was 112mph?? What are the imports supposed to be limited to?

wah

Imports are limited to 112 Kmh

[Davey]

I take it the ECU controls the limit?

wannascoobydoo

Resetting the ecu i can only find one green with a green conector on and one black with a green conector on are these the 2 i need to join together??
