Well, It all started when i decided to get married.

So sold my Celica GT4 and bought a Subaru Impreza WRX (put the difference in the wedding fund).

On the way back form picking the Impreza up, the check engine light came on. After much digging and hair pulling moments, i found that the error codes were 24 and 33.

I managed (with a little E-Help) to sort the code 24.

But the ever irritating code 33 seemed here to stay. I tried posting on several Impreza sites, everything i tried didn't help. I tried calling several Subaru specialists, no one seemed to know what the issue was.

Then i was pointed to Duncan at Hypertech, after sending him a few photos of my ECU etc, he advised that the SML-M thing i had installed may be the problem. He pointed me toward the pin on the ECU that deals with the speed sensor, upon inspection i found that this indeed had been snipped to add this SML-M thing in. So with a hope and a prayer, i disconnected this connection.

Still didn't work,

BUT THEN!

out of the corner of my eye, i seen that another wire leading to the SML-M was connected to the same colour of wire that went into the speed sensor port. Hmmmm i thought, could it be as simple as connecting these 2 back up?

So long story short, i got fed up and tried it. Checked the ECU for codes, 33 was still there, so with a heavy heart i did a quick wee reset, and let me tell you, there was nearly a tear in my eye when i got the CEL flashing at 0.5 second intervals! HURRAH!!

After three weeks of driving an Impreza restricted to 4500 rpm and 95 mph, i can drive properly again.

well now i bored you all i'm off for a wee drive......... :)

Excellent news mate. These things are worth persisting with.

Enjoy 95+ on any private roads of course. Nothing over 70 on the regular stuff :)

Can you arrange a code word with cops... if we mention SIDC... we'll be ok, providing its not anything ridiculous. No, worth a try I suppose?! :)
