Well the motors been stood for 4-5 months now, I went to start it and obviously the battery was dead.
So after a good charge I gave it a start, after a few goes it started........... well more spluttered into life.
The engine check light never went out and both radiator fans are running at full chat?

Anyone got any ideas?

Checked all the plugs so far, but cant get it into the light of my garage until I clear it out and make space. Grrrrrr

Cheers

 

could be coolant temp sensor, this will bring the check light on and make the fans run, the speed sensor also make the fans run and CEL but as it hasn't moved anywhere it wont know that its not working yet, try resetting the ecu.

 

Oh its a 1995 WRX BTW.

cheers

 

had this problem , if u open under the dash u can get rid of light by turning the igniton off then connecting the two green connectors together then turn the ignition on but not start the car. then turn ignition back off and disconnect the green connectors . this will then remove the cel light and my car has run fine since then . if this still occurs then u need to do an ecu reset or ecu check to see what the fault is... hope that helps

 

Well still got the fault codes even with an ecu reset as per the procedure?

I was under the impression these would dissapear?

I have changed a coolant sensor, and now the rad fans are behaving but still have

throttle switch
tps sensor
coolant sensor (although its been changed)

No engine check light though.........

When in reset (plugs connected) it flashes a code for lamda fault??????


Cars runs great btw


any ideas?????

 

Un-plug the loom connectors and spray with WD40, clean up any corrosion !

Only guessing.....

dunx

 

All connections are like new.

Strange it runs so sweet tho.

 

maybe earth issue?? for so many sensors to be showing up. i am guessing but is the engine acting as earth for these sensors, if so clean up where the engine earths to the body,
if they dont use the engine as earth they may share the same earth which has a rusty or dodgy connector to the body
