Question Flashing cel...

anyone gotta scanner for me to check the codes on it before i check/change the spark plugs?

I did a short blast of 1st & 2nd gear... hitting about 1.1 bar ... then after slowing down.. my already lit CEL starts flashing.. so i freak out & stop on the side. It stops flashing, but is still lit.. and then i drive home w/ no noticeable difference. The CEL is still on.. as it's always been... and the car seems to be ok.

Any help would be appreciated

I got the solid CEL and flashing Cruise still. Forgot to have Tim reset. What do you guys use to pull codes and reset? Does whatever it is work on all the subies or is it model specific?

He was outta control on the course. San and I stepped back each time he came by. He was really throwing the car around. I think I overboosted. Who knows. Doesnt bother me much. Running stock boost now til I can get time to mess with e-01.

yeah, I would just a bit. Is it holding at 1.15? Or just spiking then going down to something else?
1.15 bar is about 16.67 psi (just multiply what your gauge reads by 14.5 to get psi) You want to run about 15.5 PSI at most. I usually try to keep it as close to 15 psi as possible. (So like 1.05 bar max)


now on the STi, it's different, you could run a little more I think without injectors, EM, etc.

I wouldn't worry too much about the cel, .... but you may as well get it pulled.
