Scottyfridge Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I have just bought a 1993 wrx wagon import but it misfires any ideas? Done the plugs
Jay762 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wotcha and welcome - not too familiar with that model myself - however I would want to know some more details - has the car had any modifications, plug in ECU etc or is it totally standard?
Scottyfridge Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 It's got straight through exhaust dump valve & sti inter cooler on it not sure about anything else only had it a week
Scooby Pete Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Welcome to the Club. You can do a CEL check and this will give you a code number for the fault. A thread on scabbynet has details on reading and resetting the ECU. http://bbs.scoobynet...elp-please.html 1
