Im getting old and my memory is not so good these days, when it never was great.
Your fine lol looks like a pretty human mistake to me friend.
-
Coils are new, boot inspected when installing, shes solid. Thanks for input though.
-
Sorry I should mention that Car is v7 sti. no ignition leads, coil on plug.
-
Confirmed #2 by unplugging coil with no change to idle or running.
No fault codes.
New coils, new plugs.
Worth knowing that for about 20 seconds the car dropped another cylinder but returned to firing on 3 again. This has not happened again.
No smoke at all and engine still sounds mechanically mint, no knock not even a tick. just the rough 3 cylinder sound and the smell of petrol.
Spark plug comes out black and returns to silver with the rub of a cloth which makes me think it must be seeing some sort of ignition like a very weak spark from hidden electrical problem or extinguished by huge amount of over fuelling.
With no codes its pretty hard to figure out. At this point Im thinking a damaged tooth on the sprocket.
Any ideas?
v7sti bug eye
update: Under boost car runs alot better with the coil plugged in than without, but does not feel smooth, micro jerks felt. I'm thinking that the injector might be fire hydranting into the cylinder and making it null on idle but giving a weak combustion under boost. No smoke, sometimes 1 or 2 bangs when taking off in first gear from cold start. I'm gona try replace the injector unless anyone thinks otherwise?

My v2 had a silver alloy slanted inter cooler factory. That one looks like a black one they have sprayed.

Could this maf connection be causing an issue with low tps voltage? It looks to eventually end up in the same loom.

New genuine subaru tps installed and have confirmed its the correct part. With a multi meter im seeing .52v closed throttle and only 3.9v at wot. What could be causing the low 3.9v? Also noticed my radiator is giving off a bit of voltage too. The photo shows 3.47 at wot because I moved it on accident when taking the photo. Usually gets 3.9
-
yes. the last vender i used was off trademe and was not oem. prob why there compatible parts numbers wrong.
found this site https://partsouq.com/en/search/all?q=22633AA210 $24 shipped
-
cheers suby sign. the retailer iv been using has listed there product a replacement suitable for the 240 and the 210. so thanks for clearing that up. Ive ordered the 210 ill update once its arrived and installed. fingers crossed.
-
yes 22633aa210 interchangeable with 240. strange that it only wants to turn anti clockwise when facing and looking at the white key hole holding the tps in my hand. The ones on our cars should be turning clockwise from the default position.
-
Purchased brand new oem sensor but the keyhole in it turns the opposite direction as my one. Its as if it was designed to be installed on the opposite side of the throttle body which brings me to the question: Do the USDM cars have there tps installed on the otherside of the throttle body to ours? in which case I would have to order RHD TPS specific.
Really hoping someone can chime in on this as I know for a fact my TPS is faulty because it only reads 3.8v at wot and I cant get my car tuned until I get this sorted. Alternatively if anyone has a TPS that will suite a v7 sti they would sell that would help me out alot too. I dont want to start purchasing new tps before knowing for sure it will fit and function because there costly.

Can anyone confirm that fk0140 are the correct ignition coil for version 7 sti. Net says they are for 02+ and one site said 98-04. So much variation in information I just dont know. But cant find anthing related to my00-01 wrx sti. If they have incorrect dwell timing is this somthing my tuner can work around?

Car was running with exact same symptoms as a big vac leak. 15inhg, bogging,misfires and backfire etc. I Unplugged the tps and shes alive again holding boost well. Im on the hunt for a tps and wondering if I need a v7 sti one or is there other model subie tps I can use? Makes sourcing one easier. Thanks clubsub.

The software with it is likely more dangerous. See the bit about turning off anti virus etc.
The official software may brick it as counterfeit. Heaps of brands do that if no official serial number etc can be read.
They are cheap as no development cost when you steal design. CPU and chips maybe lower quality and spec too.
Well answered bro thanks

Not much different to a obd2 reader.
Just want it to be reliable while it’s flashing and not stop part way through.
Are cheaper counter parts known 2 do this?

Would anything be wrong with these. At a glance i cant imagine how a cable could go wrong. Rated 4 half stars outa 5 if that counts for anything.

Ok so turns out the new housing is actually a p20 and it wont fit without some machining first. Its seen less than 10k kms so is a total minter if any wants. Im just going to order aftermarket p18 housing i know iv seen them somewhere. Thanks for the help though guys.
-
Thanks loren. Might have to get a specialist to put her together then I cant get it to seal in the least
-
I did give both surfaces a good clean. Im tempted to sand down a bit and use exhaust seal to insure no leaks. Thats the last scenario though
-
I cant merge the hot and cold sides together. I have the pin lined up with the hole while the turbo was in a vice, I tried using a cowhide mullet to tap them together but no luck. I havent tried smashing with great force although tempting. Turbo is vf30. Any advice?
-
My Headers have no flexi. Yes im going to try use it again. Before I put the turbo together would getting the exhaust housing PP be a worthy thing?
-
Came out of exhaust housing. No shaft play turbo appears to be mint. Turbo would only spool to 11psi on free boost. My question is: would this have caused the vf30 to only hold 11lbs? Dont wana waste my weekend + gaskets just to install a faulty turbo again. Dont know where it came from. Looks like a bit of flexi but my upipe doesent have internal flexi so im thinkn the turbo was working just fine with this weged in there. Was about 600 rpm slower spool then it should have though. Its a risk I know but just thought id ask you guys. Thanks.

My first wrx with basic sti bolt ons and a ecu ripped on everything reliably for years. Heavy abuse.
