I have a million problems just gone wromng with it over 24 hours #

Problem 1, last night, after a sprited drive i noticed my after market water temp gauge stoped working.

This afternoon i noticed my AC belt had sheared off completly

And on my way back from work the car stoped boosting, well knocks me off boost

When i parked up the car wouldnt idle and the Check engine light is on constant

 

First thing is find out why the engine light is on probably connected to the boost issue,what model do you have,check on here how to self test with the black and green plugs if its a classic that will narrow down 2 problems,ac belt might be over tensioned mine did that after my refit and check the senders havent blown out on your guage and check fuses if its an electro one

 

I allready checked the error codes

Im getting 23 and 24 on cold engine with black connectors
Also
23 on hot Green connectors

Which is 23 MAF
24 Idle control valve.#

I remover both the maf and the ICV today and cleaned them with break cleaner, Problem still there.
The ICV had some oil on it and in the hole where it is located, i wiped most this away with tissue, is this normal to get oil there?

Could my after market Pannel filter played a part in the maf or icv?
Its like a foam filter, would i be better with a standard filter for it?

Temp gauge..
The lights still turn on, on it, i have followed the wire through into the engine bay and under the rad, i cannon get to them tho to investigate further, will have to remove the plastic cover.

AC belt
I am going to replace this along with the Altonator belt.

Where will be the nest place to get new MAF and ICV from? API maybe?
And the dreded question... How many Beer vouchers will they cost me???

Car is WRX STI 5 Type-R 1999

 

same car as me mate ,maf was 88 quid from subaru,i got fan and ac belt from local factors for 20 quid as for the oil maybe should think about a catch can for oil i know i had some in the intercooler when i changed the dump valve but never caused me any problems,new icv is quite expensive tho id rule out everythin else first then try one of someones car that you know does work before wastin 200+ quid

 

Thanks alot dude, alot of info there, thats really a big help cheers

Ill do the maf and belts, thn ill go to api and see if he can help me with the icv, and ill ask him about a catch can while im there.

Thanks again mate

 

no probs thats what this place is for
