Ticking/cracking noise on full boost (bugeye)
Hi Guys,
I need some help please !
I have a 2001 WRX Bugeye and its making a cracking/ticking/poping noise when its on full boost at about 5k to 6k rpm
The engine light has also come on and i have a loss of power.
The codes i get are :
P0546 : Exhaust gas temperture sensor circuit high
P1301 : Fire due to increased exhaust temperture
i also got exhaust gas recirculation too high but did not get the code down be for i reset it.
i have the following mods on the car all where done before i got the car but have all the paper work for them was also done by Subaru
Pro drive pack from new
STI Turbo
De-cat down pipe
Full pro drive exhaust system
Remap at 292 bhp
Bigger fuel pump
I have had the car 6months and it has been good as gold no probs at all !

Thank you for your reply, um......... i think i may have to book it in.
The car sounds a little louder then before, i have taken the heat shield off the drivers side (this was not a 5min job as the o2 sensor is in the way) and i think i have exhaust leak/blow do you think this would be the prob ?

Hi Guys,
I took my car to the workshop and they said they are not 100% but think i have a blocked precat, but they would need to take it off and have a look.
So i have just ordered my new de-cat up pipe for the bug !
I really hope this is the fix for it.
I will let you know when i have fitted it.

*************************UPDATE******************* ****************
I have my de-cat up pipe on its way (not the flexi type) but now the car has started to misfire and on tick over its running really lumpy !
Do you guys think its all to do with the blocked pre-cat ?

A friend of mine had lumpy engine on a 2.5 (on idle), was a broken piston, very strong misfire that could be felt in the driving seat and noise similar to how you describe it.
Hope thats not the case for you.

Hey Guys,
Well i took off my up pipe and yes it was in a badway the cat was all broken up inside ! i think i just got it in time before it went in to the turbo.
I have fitted my new de-cat up pipe and its power is back to how it was before if not better.
However.......it feels like its holding back just a very little bit about 5-6 rpm and on idle it is running a just little bit lumpy ???
I Think its got a very small misfire and i have been looking at all the paper work for the and the last time the spark plugs were replace 2006 !
I have the CEL light on as i have taken out the EGT sensor i am going to do the EGT sensor mod and get the CEL reset.
What do you guys think ??? replace the plugs if yes is it a easy job ?
Also the car seems to be popping alot on overrun ???
