    Seem's like a good enough excuse to get out to me 2 night's a week :D we have a lot of people from your way here i'd be shocked if nobody else on here goes unless they haven't looked at the post :D
  11. I don't see many I get a little excited when I do. I'm sad I know :D
  12. On Classic shape only (not Newage) faults can be displayed as pulses of the Check Engine Light. If the Check Engine Light goes out there is no fault. In order to perform diagnostic (and ECU resets) you will need to connect some wires together under your steering column. Note, the following procedure only works for Classic shape Impreza’s, not for Newage. Make sure your ignition is OFF Connect the Black ‘Read Memory’ connectors together as illustrated below. When the above are connected you are in diagnostics mode. Turn your ignition ON and ‘read’ the ECU code(s) being reported according to the following instructions. Note, you may here relays clicking and your fan starting and stopping - this is normal when in diagnostics mode. In Diagnostic Mode – No Fault is indicated by the Check Engine Light continuously & evenly flashing on/off (this is also used to indicate the successful completion of an ECU Reset). Figure 2 - Check Engine Light Pulse Width The long pulses (1.3 Seconds) indicate Tens and the short pulses (0.2 Seconds) indicate ones. Pulses are separated by Short Pauses (0.2 Seconds), multiple codes are separated by a Long Pause (1.8 Seconds). The simplest way for an inexperienced mechanic to retrieve codes is to write the codes down in a sort of Morse Code (dots and dashes), and start a new line when you get a 1.8 Second pause (for NEW code), and then add the actual numbers up after code retrieval is completed. (See Example Below) --- CODE EXAMPLE, SINGLE CODE --- 1.3 second pulse (10) 0.2 second pause 1.3 second pulse (10….for a total of 20) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 21) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 22) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 23) (Code 23 — MAF Sensor) --- CODE EXAMPLE, MULTIPLE CODE --- 1.3 second pulse (10) 0.2 second pause 1.3 second pulse (10….for a total of 20) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 21) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 22) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 23) 1.8 second pause (this means NEW code) 1.3 second pulse (10) 0.2 second pause 0.2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 11) 0.2 second pause .2 second pulse (1…..for a total of 12) (Codes 23 and 12, MAF Sensor and Starter Circuit) How to clear them! Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature, turn engine off Locate the two ECU connectors, located under the steering column and consist of a black plastic male and female connector, and a green male female connector With the ignition OFF connect black to black and green to green. Turn on ignition, do not start the engine, depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle, then return it to the half-throttle position and hold for a few seconds, and then release Engine Check lamp turns on Start engine and then drive for at least one minute, keeping road speed above 10mph. ECU is now re-set. At this point the check engine light should start to flash the all clear signal (steady 1/2 second interval flashes). If the check engine light does not flash, or indicates some other sequence, there is a fault present in the system, and should be professionally checked for necessary repairs. Stop the car and turn off the engine. Disconnect the black and green connectors. Job complete
  13. I think it's the classic shape. Can you do the black wire connector to check. Here's how to do it guide :) http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-manually-reading-ecu-codes-classic-impreza%E2%80%99s-only/
  14. I would check the MAFS always a good place to start with idle problems. Throttle body could be all blacked up but I'm not sure that it's an easy fix unless you know what you are doing but I guess some cleaner sprayed into the intake manifold would do the same job but not as good. Tlag or MD might be able to aid better then that. 02 sensor another thing that could be doing it :( I know these are never easy fixes idle problem's from when I've had them before :(
  15. Just be careful with the rear wheel drive I know when I had my beemer I nearly lost it from the back even just on wet leaves :D but very nice cars and they are nice to drive. And at least you didn't say you had got an Audi I hate Audi driver's :D We had a guy from Poland that lived near me who's head gasket went on a Seat and needed to store it at our's as we have outside storage. and he said it was over £1000 cheaper to ship the car back to Poland and have it repaired and brought back then what it was to have all the work done here. :(
  16. I have to agree one of the thing's that won me over to have a scooby and not an evo :)
  17. That's ok mate funny enough I past an 06 the other day and thought about this thread and for the 1st time ever he waved back to me. I did wounder if it was you :D
  18. Gambit replied to Jonny b's topic in General Subaru Chat
    Ohh a Landaner I take it then :)
  19. What and you don't want the picture of Steve in a thong ? what is wrong with people ;)
  20. You're are more then welcome to stay mate and maybe before to long you will be back behind the wheel of a Subaru once more. And you're English is fine far better then my Polish I can't speak a word :)
  21. I guess it depends how good you are and if you want to spend the time cutting your grill out the one you have now and using some bodyfiller to patch it up and a respray. I would say possible but a lot of work :(
  22. Haha can be arranged Do anything for extra petrol money ;)
  23. That's ok I'v PM'd you my address so will expect my £10 in the next couple of day's ;)
  24. Nice remember get some pictures to share we like our picture's of the weekend I don't mind if there not all Subaru's but helps with any future brown nosing. Other wise I don't mind sexual favours or beer But hope the wether is good for you I take it you will be camping. Had nothing but thunder storms here today on the east coast, and I washed my car yesterday :(
