So you could just get a magnet and a generic pulse generator to send that signal to the ECU?

Ill keep that in mind.

Im gonna see if i can get time to throw in the other ECU i have and see what happens..

This is my effort, It works for me

This is first for me in terms of checking resistances but shouldnt their be very minimal resistance through the wiring.. So basically if there is 'some' resistance it'll be a problem? I have not tried another ECU.. I have the ECU that came out the liberty that the engine came out of. It had a 3 plug...

Well i gotta check it anyway just to confirm if its a dodgy cluster or a resistance issue how ever unlikely it is. In the event of a cluster being dodgy id either have to find another cluster or get a sensor put inline..

Guy, ill get in contact soon and have a look.. umm Dibs lol.

This time I checked the codes properly.. still getting code 33 for the VSS and then i cleared them properly and went for a drive. After about the same time as every other time the engine light came back on. POOP!

Next i guess ill try test the speed sensor and its circuit according to the manual.

So something has happened between when it was running fine and now that doesn't throw a code.. If the AFM was faulty it would throw a code (???) It wouldnt be a vacuum leak cos you would hear it and it would be noticable at idle too.. So yeah fuel pressure test would be your best bet I reckon. But i...

Not yet..

When i cleared the codes originally i did it the 'battery dance" way.. Good point though.

Ill give that a go tomorrow seeing as it is the subaru specified way and see what happens.

Whats Code 38 for your EJ25?

Well, i connected the black plugs and im still getting just code 33 for VSS. Connecting just green plugs putting it into test mode (?) gets rid of the light until i start up and go again. I've been checking it and each time it comes back on after roughly 9mins. The manual says that the sensor gives ...

Sorry Paul.. its this weekend but ill go again when your back.. ill also supply the CCs even though you haven't fixed my problem lol haha. (refer to my latest post about the speed sensor.)

Hey Guys, Long story short. I have recently converted my carby L series to EJ22. After that I had a few issues where the engine was in limp home mode, ecu controlled fan stayed on all the time. (with ign on) and it was bumping up the idle.. After some chatting and hard work with RSR 555 (Paul) with ...

Yeah it'll be awesome if you can come.. Im going for fri-sat, dean's (remember that big ass silver landcruiser??) only going for friday and im meeting up with my mates on sat.. some are going up to jurien bay first on thurs night and coming down and others are going on sat-sun.. so theres people com...

Hey Guys, This long weekend starting on Friday Im planning on heading up to Two Rocks and Wilbinga for some Subaru L Series testing in Ruby and also some overnight fishing and then meeting some other mates for a day out in Moore River and maybe Lano for sand boarding n swimming etc. Firstly if anyon...

You in the driver's seat might not notice the difference the changes you made makes but you're L series will love you for it

Im a 4th Year Apprentice Mechanic at a Ford dealer. Spend the day working on Fords and laughing at the some of stupid designs and ideas they have among the great ones and then come home and enjoy working on my 2 suby wagons. As for other hobbies, i play soccer (indoor and field) on a social level. C...

I get secondhand tyres all the time (for my L series and oldish small cars), yes they are secondhand but they are always 90-99% tread and either a full set or pairs. Last time I got an decent set of 14"s for $160 and 13"s for $100. If anyone ever needs a set for bunkys or trailers etc pm me cos the ...

Right you are Paul..

Hopefully I get some time this week to look into some options, im leaning towards Kings cos i can get a decent price and its easily accessible to me. At the moment im thinking that for the L series with impreza shockies maybe std outback springs will do the trick or are they the same height as the i...

Why did the scare crow get an award?


Cos he was outstanding in his field..


I do apologise for that haha

Ill put myself in for a maybe mate.. My beast is 90% done and should be a road goer in a few days. But im going to lancillin on the long week of this month so who knows what might happen! Im looking for a set of lifted springs to go on my early impreza shocks to go in my L series. Do you guys know w...
