Well I know I've got an up pipe leak but any advise out there would be appreciated. It's blowing quite badly now after a bit motorway today. Engine light came on later after returning from work. Light has reset but running lumpy now and won't tick over properly . Think it could only be because of the up pipe???? Any thoughts before I take her to the local clinic Monday?
An up pipe leak won't make it lumpy. Have you noticed any change in the sound it makes when it comes on boost? A hissing noise maybe?
No didn't notice anything different apart from engine light came on turned it off came back to it started it and it was running rough no light on though, it's definitely blowing alot more though .
Don't know just engine management light. And its not on now. Version 3 Just de catted as far as I know.
The fault codes should be stored in the ecu. Have a quick read here http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/ ... ngECUCodes And see if you get and error codes.
Sounds like a split or leak in either the rubber hose from the turbo to the intercooler or the hose from the intercooler to the manifold, especially if its idling, lumpy or cutting out :wink:
Cranked it up today started first time ran fine a went lumpy again. Going to get the up pipe changed tomorrow and ecu reset and see were we go from there. Blowing badly.
Up pipe done starts up then after a couple of seconds runs lumpy smells of fuel. Has come up with an error code 4 = 4th injector
Not sure on older error codes, some useful info on here though, http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/ Did you check the pipes mentioned above?
Yep checked , gonna check/ change plugs not old though. Probably the injector, sort of intermittent problem For last 3 / 4 months hopefully that. Thought it was something to do with ecu temp sensor running lumpy then ok and after starting from warm it would run lumpy for a few mins sometimes. Even changed the maf. First time I've seen the engine check light for along time though.
hav you checked the crankshaft, camshaft or throttle sensors :?: when was the last time you changed the fuel filter could be pump. hav you checked the egr valve.
Changed fuel filter less than two years ago car starts as normal then goes lumpy. Comin up injector 4 on ecu , got one comin tomorrow. Got fuel pressure , cleaned cam sensors not long since. Will fit injector hopefully tomorrow, up pipe is right now as well .
Cheers mike running 440 's one on the way from Leeds , don't think it's EGR and a like but good excuse for a good clean eh! Thanks anyway.
Well the latest is injector in...... Still running lumpy! Injector fault now gone though. New plugs....... The same!!!! Unplug maf sensor....... Ta da!!! Maf is goosed! Ticks over and revs without plug it in.... Lumpy! Orange maf required!!! :shock:
Well at least when I did 125 back from the rolling road meet it didn't blow up! Got fresh Maf installed back in business! Not bapped it yet, may take the battery off tomorrow clean up the messy finger prints etc and then take it for a sprint see what happens! Tickover ok but I think deep down other small issues to be addressed !
