threw a code!!!?!!!!HELP! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Jourdan · 07-27-2006, 04:41 PM

06' WRX...i think i threw a code...but i dont know how...no engine/exhaust smoke, no bogging...nothing noticable.
my check engine light came on and my cruise control light keeps flashing...
i only have catback on now...i need some answers.

Renegade_ · 07-27-2006, 05:34 PM

go to autozone, and get it pulled for free and come back here

I have been driving with "Front Heater Circuit Low" for 5k miles now, and nothing happened. Check engine can mean the smallest little things

Jourdan · 07-27-2006, 05:37 PM

i have no idea what that means...get it pulled for free at autozone???
sorry. i just dont get it....but yes hopefully its something small & easily fixable.

Kerplunk105 · 07-27-2006, 05:44 PM

Yea, Autozone will hook up your car for free to see what is wrong with it.

JoeScooby · 07-27-2006, 06:05 PM

Take that ish to the dealer!!!!!!!!!!!

Jourdan · 07-27-2006, 06:16 PM

im pretty sure my warranty is gone. and im kind of hesitant to take it there if it is something little....i think my suspension voided everything...

if it is major then i will have alot of work to do tonight..then take it in to the dealer.

JoeScooby · 07-27-2006, 06:22 PM

Here is somthing I learned along the years I had my subaru.

A dealer cannot void an entire vehicle warrenty for one item they dislike, however they may void the claim itself or the warrenty on that particulare system of the vehicle.

I went in for a stuck wasegate with - springs, exhaust and some other stuff. The worked on it, found no problem.

You must have other stuff to be hesitant about bringing it in.

Jourdan · 07-27-2006, 06:33 PM

i have the same stuff done to mine.
i took it to autozone...
CYLINDER 1 & 3 are misfiring...
what do i do now? change plugs and wires???the car has a little over 5k on it...

sesolcSTI · 07-27-2006, 06:44 PM

The car is brand new, TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.

Vypurr2 · 07-27-2006, 06:46 PM

^ Agreed. What are your real mods...list them! If you have catback and springs, you will have no problem...now if you have ecutek, catback, wga, boost controller, and your car stinks of race fuel then you might have an issue!

sesolcSTI · 07-27-2006, 06:51 PM

The stupidest thing you can do in this case is to start tinkering around with it yourself. That would be the easiest way to ENSURE that you get your warranty voided. Dont start ripping plugs out, yada yada. If it gives you better piece of mind, spend the 2-3 hrs. to change the springs and exhaust out. Just my .02..............but probably the majority vote.

the06blue · 08-11-2006, 02:58 AM

yo i got a 2006 when i put the cat back on it happend n down pipe its just mostlikly runing to rich thats what my promblem was i thro out flames n it would come on.. i pluged a lil computer thing w.e its called on my computer n it said waist gate b or some **** so ull be ok it wiill go on and off till u get it tuned n it will stay off.2006 get boost creap bad to ull spike alot higher now to... make sure u get tuned

the06blue · 08-11-2006, 03:02 AM

ps ull love the tq after u get tuned ull beat stock evos n stis all night if u can drive look at some kids only barly 300s with stuff i got a stock turbo turbo back intake n i dinoed 299 tq lol

Vypurr2 · 08-11-2006, 03:05 AM

Are you saying that an 06 WRX with a Turboback exhaust will beat STIs and EVOs all day?

TehWagon · 08-11-2006, 09:18 AM

jourdan if this happens again, ask around at the meet - chances are someone has an AP or scanner (myself included) and we can pull the code for you.

ps you don't have wires, you have coilpacks. just for future reference.

Gaze · 08-11-2006, 09:26 AM

a rule of thumb for me has been to always make sure your engine computer resets following any work under the hood. Pull the negative terminal, let it sit for 20 minutes, come back and reconnect, then drive 50 miles and see if the computer relearns itself.

TehWagon · 08-11-2006, 09:28 AM

i heard it was 100 miles... and remember, if you reset the ecu, it will clear the light, but it will still store the code. so in cases of a cat inefficiency code, if you go thru inspection, they can still pull it.

Gaze · 08-11-2006, 12:27 PM

50-100 miles... somewhere in there. I reset my Eclipse after an intake install and the OBDII scanner picked up nothing after a drive to Atlantic City and back.

if the car only has 5,000 miles, id think inspection is quite a ways off.

D Money · 08-11-2006, 12:33 PM

Disconect the battery and it will go off for a couple miles.

I vote you take it to xotic for that ecutek flash.

the06blue · 08-11-2006, 02:14 PM

yea stock ones n a flash no promblem i lose to a evo with 350 wheele by like 2 cars maybe n to a sti external gated n turbo back tune n other **** by like 2 or 3 cars i mean im talkin stock vrs me i will
