Unhappy

CEL Came on last night on the way home.

Felt like i hit fuel cut and then the engine just died.
For one worrying moment i thought i saw smoke coming out of the back of the car.

I pulled over on the side of the road and thought i would try and reset the ecu to see if that would help, instead it throws me up the error code 23. Car is now stuck in limp home mode.

I hope this isn't the MAF sensor again. (4th time)

Have called my dealer but i cant get it down to them until tuesday for them to check it out.

Mel.

STI5 Type R mods include Full decat, HKS Plugs, Blitz Panel Filter, Tar-ox Discs, Mintex 1155 Pads and AP Racing clutch.


Wouldn't mind as much if i had an induction kit on but i still have the orginal airbox.


The sooner i get a link ECU the better as i can do away with the MAF altogether.

p.s had it confirmed from dealer that it is the MAF sensor and they wont have one in until tuesday.
Still at least i wont have to pay for it as the one theyt changed less then a year ago is still under warranty.

4 bloody maf sensors, you would think the dealer would buy you a Link, it would save them money in the long run

Glad you are getting sorted.
