Engine Light

[damo_]

Hey guys,

So every time i drive my car the engine light turns on at multiple stages of driving and when it does the car runs like absolute crap!! when the lights off it runs fine... Its like it goes into Lip mode or something and the cars goes nowhere! Any help would be amazing.

cheers

From my experience with my Gen 2 it could be a faulty oxygen sensor. I'd that's not it I have no idea sorry. My engine light turns on all the time, no biggie.

Nice

Just put some electrical tape over the engine light. No light, no problem

There should be way to read the code. On Gen4 there is a cable you connect to read the code from a flashing Cel light. Have a snoop on http://www.nasioc.com/.

From 91 on subarus had diagnostic cables. Take it to a workshop and get the code checked. Could be air flow meter.

hahah my friend i can tell u all about the engine light, my 09 libs has had it come on alot, from just simple oil issues to complete bottom end failure, recently had a engine waring light, got the mechanic near my work to look at it, and it was a catalitic convertor issue, funny enough took the cat off when i sent it to suby service was full of shit and making the car choke, which i told them 3 services ago to look at, ill suggest finding some one who can look at your error codes as suby wont tell u the issue.
