Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

CEL, is it Air charge temp related?

CEL, is it Air charge temp related?

I just purchased an 02 WRX. The PO had a Kaminari reverse cowl hood with no scoop because he was running a FMIC. I had to drive it home tonight 20 miles with virtually no flow to the stock TMIC that was included in the sale. I shut it down twice for a few minutes as I got gas and stopped at the store. Once I got close to my house (about 19 miles into the trip) I got a check engine light. Is there an air charge temp sensor that would trigger this if the IC was running hot? I stayed as deep into vacuum as possible and stayed away from boost the entire ride. Please let me know what you guys think for a n00b. Thanks...

Becuase of the gas station check the gas cap and make sure its tight I sorta doubt you have a/f problems on the fmic.
