iv had nothing but trouble with my 03 wrx from day 1, nd now its gettin on my nerves so much im actually thinkin bout selling it!!!!

anyways, felt sluggish wen i was driving home so got the code reader out nd had a check;

P0037 - heater control circuit 1 sensor 2 high
P0113 - Intake Temp Sensor high
P0420 - cat efficiancy below thresh bank 1
P0328 - Knock Sensor 1 high
P0546 - Exhaust gas temp high
P0244 - Turbo Wastegate Solenoid "A" range

P1088 - Undefined
P1096 - Undefined

can any1 explain any of these? car is a 2003 wrx ppp, few mods, decat exhaust, walbro 255, nd forge dump valve.

thanks

 

We'd re set first, and see if they come back. Failing that, take a look at the MAF or MAF circuit which could explain a few of those.

 

Has the car been remapped for the decat

 

nah it hasnt, iv got 550ccS vf35 etc to go on but im not gonna get it mapped or upgrade it cos im gonna sell it!

 

4 of ur error codes are due to the decat and no remap tbh

 

the two undefined codes are for the tumble generator valves in the intake manifold.

the o2 sensor is the rear one in the 2nd cat pipe, check the wires not rubbed though on the prop as most folk never bother to clip them back in after changing the exhaust.

 

You might have trouble selling it with all that going on...... why not take it to a local specialist for a once over?

PS Impreza likely be coming your way Rob, someone reversed into it at Carleton Garage and hit the bumper whilst it was parked. I was walking back to the car and saw it all happen. The driver didn't admit liability and didn't want to simply pay someone like Steve to sort it so it's going through the Insurance.......silly cow!

 

so you decat the car and not bother remapping it.

imo most of your problems are self inflicted.

 

do ya not think i know that?

the reason i put the exhaust on etc, is cos i intended on the car goin to evotune at the start of jan, but its just had the headgaskets done, new clutch and sump, so its cost me a fortune, so im not putting the turbo etc on cos im not mapping it cos im gonna sell it asap, and buy a p1 hopefully hahaha

ps.....i reset the codes and only 1 has came back after a good 20 mile drive, P0037

 

well im confused at what the point of your thread is.

you know why the car is throwing up the faults, because you didnt remap it after decatting.

 

yes but its never put any codes out since i put the exhaust on at the end ov november, i was just wondering why its spat 11 codes at me!

 

No worries shaun, I'm back in from Wednesday onwards. I hate people like that

 

Rutt, the de-cat is really a red herring.........all that would do is throw a P0420 if a turbo back decat.

Did eveything go back together OK after the engine work ?

Shaun

Rob, yup, nightmare. Are you still OK to give the Clio a lok at sometime?

 

With respect , you've not helped yourself with what you're doing with the car and how you're running it
So if you do manage to sell it you're probably gonna have the same problems with a p1
All to often folk mess with this type of car and f***s it up , and causes grief for the next owner .
Who will then probably run it without a remap and bang , the spending starts again for the new owner
Either leave alone or do the job properly

 

Yeah no probs. Friday night after work ok Shaun ??

 

Happy new year

Friday after work shoukld be OK......I will be picking up horse poo but Laura will be around LOL
