Here you go mate.. Its really simple.. Scroll down to Manually Reading ECU Codes (Classic Impreza’s only)

I wouldnt go doing any mods to it until you've sorted out what the problem is chap. Had a similar problem on mine, turned out to be the knock sensor so had to change it asap.

Have you heard of "Google" ?? Very helpful place.

Theres also a function called "search" on here, again very useful.

You really need to stop asking questions for EVERYTHING mate, eventually people are going to get jacked off and stop offering advice, especially when you keep posting in the general section and not the technical.

You need to do some SERIOUS reading about Impreza's, if you cant change a knock sensor then you're in for a very long, expensive journey.

Oh dear, here we go again. Yet another retard on the forum.
And people ask me why I've cancelled my subscription.

Just for your info....
If you actually read the ******* advice people were giving you, you would realize you don't need any special device to read the codes.
