Hi all,

I have a 2000 v7 bugeye, jap import, WRX auto/ paddle shift, with no mods as of yet. Not sure if anyone has experienced this in the past but since the temperature has dropped into the minus's my engine management light comes on for the first start of the day and stays on until it warms up, I've searched threads on here and nobody else seems to have experienced this. Also it's probably coincidence but I did have it serviced just before it started coming on, any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

You need the check engine code to find out where the problem lies.

I've got it in to be code read tomorrow, if it does turn out that it's running lean due to the cold is there a way of preventing this or if not will it cause any damage etc

Thanks for the replies all, I have taken it to two different places now to have it code read, and nothing is stored or coming up, however the problem is still there and getting worse, it comes on with almost every start now, but does go off when temp has picked up, the only time it has not done it was when I stayed away at the weekend and it was parked in a car park all night, the next morning it didn't come on, So is anyone able to shed any light on this,

Thanks

Process of elimination to track fault. Did you take it to a recognised Subaru specialist or a common or garden garage?

The Nearest specialist I can think of is Scoobyclinic, but there will be others nearby Api@ Leamington Spa for example
