Prodancer1 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello all I've just bought my first subaru, after years of owning Honda's It's a early 98 impreza reg in feb, it's a 2.0 turbo 2000 awd. Now to the issues, I put on a autobahn fmic, and that's where my issues started ran fine for 2 days little bit more power and sounded really good. But the the management light came on and wouldn't rev past 4k wen you go hard on the throttle. Then if you slowly go on the throttle it will rev past 4k but the will fuel cut, the code it's coming up with is code 44 turbocharging control signal. We have changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, and boost solenoid but no change and I'm running out of ideas, the speedo has now stopped workin! Any ideas guys? Cos I'm getting to the point of regretting getting a subaru :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You need to get it remapped so it knows that it has a fmic. Subarus are very fussy with what you do to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodancer1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Do you think that's the cause of my problem? If I put the top mount back on do you think that would solve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yeah it should do, may have to clear the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodancer1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Why would the speedo stop working I have no code for the vss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Speedo could be a different problem altogether. I just know that you can get the car out of limp mode by putting the original intercooler on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodancer1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Could not having the restrictor pill cause this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yep the intercooler may be the source of the problem , most older imprezas don't like them and you will eat thro mafs at a alarming rate !! Speedo I'm unsure on , damaged sonething while fitting the fmic. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodancer1 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ok refitted the top mount, and did ecu reset and no differance, it now has resistor pill but I'm still getting code 44 I have no idea what to do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Maybe try blanking the dump valve off , as it might be leaking air which might cause that code . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
