Cheers mate much appreciated.

That would be great if you could, I can't bear to see this car go to waste! As long as I can get it firing on all 4 il be happy. Compression test came back with 150 across all 4 cylinders so I'm hoping it's something or nothing.

I'm in stockport bud, iv got pick up some coilpacks before I do anything as I sold them early on but would definitely appreciate the help if you could. I've not even looked at it for about 3 weeks, I could really do with sorting the little bits out

Tell me about it, it's sat on hge drive feeling sorry for itself at the moment. there's alot of annoyed people on ebay from pulled items lol

I can't bring myself to break it plus parts are not selling so I'm going to post a thread with the issues I have and hopefully solve it. Cheers anyway guys

I took it to autotecnica in Buxton. Really nice guys and helpful. But my subaru has gone pop last week so I'm breaking it. Well and truly had enough now

I've got a stainless up pipe to go with the ported manifold for 25 plus postage also if you wanted it

The guage on the right is air temp with a sensor or can be used for intercooler air temp. Not sure on the offset but il pull them off in the next day or so il have a look then.

Gutted to do it but this Rex has defeated me so all parts are now up for sale from today. Car ran great although yesterday started running on 2 cylinders so engine wise I'm unsure what's wrong so class it as a non runner I suppose. Loads of stuff to get rid of so il try and post as much pics as poss

Right had a bit of a result this weekend, my idling issue is pretty much gone now. Turns out it was the coilpacks as I did the newage coil conversion this weekend and seems to be running A LOT better now, no stuttering or erratic idle. Running lots better BUT still feels a bit stagey on acceleration but that's another issue to solve but all in all its running quite good touch wood!

I know you can do the old mark it and turn it to find ratio which now I know it needs to be 4.1 so I might check that on the diff in the garage

Cel lights finally gone!!! Turns out once my speedo cable was attatched and ecu reset it's not come back! Winner! Although I do still have idle issues but one step at a time hey! Least that b@stard lights out (unless I've I've blown the bulb haha)

Right so Ive checked my gearbox code and it showing I need a 4.11 rear diff which I thought was correct anyway so I'm happy with that part but how do I tell if the rear diff that's sat on my garage floor is a 4.11, I was assured it is but rather be safe than very sorry? Cheers for the info as well I feel like I'm nearly there with it just need to clear up and make sure it's definitely the right diff

Thought I'd give my diff a change out this weekend and wondered if there's any way of knowing if I have the right diff for my car without having to jack all 4 wheels (tried it but failed miserably as I haven't got the lifting gear for the job). Is there any markings anywhere all I don't wanna pull my diff off to find I have the wrong one. Thanks in advance

I have idling issues on mine it's killing me at the moment but have got 2 icvs knocking about if you need one. I had an issue a bit like that when I swapped engine out, turned out to be throttle body arm where the cable attatches to was stiff but only very slightly. Probably not your idling issue but everything's worth a shot I suppose

I agree with both of you I think I need a good weekend checking over bit by bit then if that fails then have to send it in

Yep good call il give that a go over the weekend It's killing me now I just want it running right if surely can't be doing it much good running crappy all the time!

I've tried that too, should have mentioned It sorry, I've got one from mine and a spare 3 but seem to make no difference which ever one I put on

Yep tried that. I think it's definitely electrical as I've swapped the engine out for a known fully running engine and tried 2 different ecus so I'm presuming that would rule out a sensor issue? It's killing me not knowing the problem. Surely it has to be wiring??

Yes just the idle control code 24, it's driving me nuts I'm thinking of just having done and sending it in for repair now, I don't know which direction to look next with it haha

Well I've changed the clocks as the was a burnt out wire on the back but it's not really made any difference to the idling issue. Regarding the pressure sensor I meant the sensor that sits directly above the 3 port. It's weird as I've got the cel keep cropping its head up and also a click which sounds like it's inside the car under steering/dash area, it clicks generally under very low revs as in setting off etc but when It click it seems connected to my idle making it rise to about 2k. It's very bizarre

Pretty certain my issue is with the idle needle on my clocks not working correctly after all the farting about I've had to do. Seems ok at the moment after changing the clocks but only been on a 10 min drive so I guess time will tell
