So I checked the code and it's a P1137. Something to do with intermittent o2 heater connection for sensor 2 (Post Cat?) Check the ground on the Post Cat sensor connection, seems to be running @ 0.337V Seems a bit bizarre, gonna try to ground it direct to the battery tomorrow (after disconnecting from sensor of course 😉 )

I've got a 2006 Subaru Impreza 1.5 R, just replaced the oxygen sensor (was throwing p0130) 😮 Now I'm receiving a new code. I don't have too much idea where to go from here. I have cleaned the contacts on the connectors but nothing has changed, I reset the code, it flags up after 5-10minutes. Would anyone be able to provide some suggestions? ☺️

Looks like I'm gonna be carrying a volt meter around wherever I go for the odd occasion when nothing happens. The ignition trigger wire might be a difficult one to test but when it happens I'll be ready Thank you so much Mr B for the advice!

I have no idea how old the battery is, but haven't replaced it in the 3 months I've owned the car. As far as I am aware the car was sat on the dealers lot for 2 years at least, would've imagined they needed to change it in order to sell it to me as working. I'm not too sure how to run diagnostics on it aside from the old volt meter and patience way. How would I go about testing the fuel pump? I'd have thought that the car running as normal would indicate the fuel pump is coolio, but idk. How long would a battery (fully charged) last without the alternator charging it? The car always seems to start up and the problem has been around for at least 2 weeks. When the weather finally picks up (I've nowhere to maintain the car except the drive in the rain), I'll be checking what I can. I'll try to post back soon, if the weather doesn't pickup I guess I'll just put on a coat and deal. Hopefully one of those turns up positive, leaving hopefully just the starter and immobiliser. Think I'd be replacing the starter before the immobiliser.

Hello all, I was wondering if you could help me diagnose a problem. So recently I've been having trouble starting the car, the key is turned, ignition on, radio turns on, sub turns on, dash lights up; I push disable the immobiliser and turn the key: *nada*. 1 of three things will happen: 1. Nothing at all, everything (excluding sub) turns off, no clicks, no nothing just the faint plees of myself: "please, not now" 2. everything in 1 happens except there is a fairly high pitched buzzing sound then a loud click/clunk, then nothing happens. 3. the car starts normally, albeit 2-3seconds of whirring before the engine comes to life I have tried to establish whether it is related to weather, but warm (12celcius +) or cold (<0celcius) means nothing to this problem. The only thing I can think of is it is just due to the way the position the motor internals stopped in but if I turn the car off and immediately turn it back on it starts up every time guaranteed. If I sit in the car and repeat the following steps like a while loop: while (Started == false){ disable immobiliser pause 2 seconds turn key if (engine.isEnabled == true){ Started = true } else { turn key back } } Eventually it will start, this could take 30 seconds, it could take 3minutes. I believe my frustrated truffle shuffle helps, but that could just be a coincidence. All the other electricals work, if I turn the interior light on and blast some dubstep there is no dip in illumination. It's only done 55,000 miles, would anyone have a scooby as to why?
