Re: Fuel cut after 25% throttle??

My car did pretty much what you are describing and I found the hose off the boost solenoid if I remember right. It was on the passenger strut tower with oll those other electronic devices. You couldn't give it much throttle at all or it would just die. I just went out to give troubleshooting this i...

Re: Fuel cut after 25% throttle??

Well, I replaced the knock sensor with no luck in fixing the problem. I am still getting the fuel cut and a CEL. The harness wiring was cracked and broke while pulling the old sensor. I depinned the old male end of the plug and soldered it to the intact end of the old wiring and sealed it all up wit...

The speedometer does work. I don't know what that means in terms of what transmission it must have in it to give a mechanical speedometer signal, but it does appear to work.

Re: Fuel cut after 25% throttle??

Thanks everyone for your input! A few things; firstly I'm picking up a knock sensor in a few minutes and will replace it before I retry running the engine since attempting to reset the codes by disconnecting the battery for more than an hour. Also, I will clean the maf and try to find this pressure ...

Clearing the codes is the same procedure as the d-check mode just with both the black and the green test connectors hooked up, right?

I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight, if so.

Re: Fuel cut after 25% throttle??

I'll pick up a knock sensor tomorrow, it's cheap enough. I do wonder then why I didn't get the knock codes while I was driving it in d-check mode and experiencing the same fuel cut scenario as usual.

Fuel cut after 25% throttle??

Hey everyone, I am having some tricky issues with my 93 touring wagon that had a 5spd from an 07 legacy swapped in by a previous owner. The issue I am experiencing involves what I've determined to be a fuel cut if I open the throttle too aggressively past about 25% when the engine is warmed up. I ch...

Hey all, this is my first post and it seems like this is a common question: I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my 1993 Turbo Wagon and I'd just like to confirm my shopping list before I start buying parts. In terms of rim clearances, I've got 16" 03 WRX rims. As far as I can tell from researc...
