Yeah those connectors can be tough. You gotta press the tab and wiggle them sideways. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk no engine codes, drove it for three or so miles to make sure it wouldn't come right back on. if I check the codes with the black connector still shows the same 22 and 33 code, ...

It should read 0 ohms Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk Alright wire's in, no check engine light on the dash but when I check the codes by connecting the black connectors 22 and 33 still show up. nomatter how hard I try, the battery could be disconnected for hours upon hours and the codes will s...

So far I have cut the connector, stripped the connector wire as well as the audio cable tube crimped the signal and grounds to each other, plugged it back into the knock sensor and run the wire through the firewall. checked my continuity and made sure my connections were good. I cant seem to remove ...

It should read 0 ohms Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk got it, assuming I can easily find the signal and ground/shield wires on the ECU B56.5 for signal and B56.4 for the shield as it seems so I'll be cutting the wire as far back from the knock sensor connector as safely possible, peeling the s...

hmmm, then I guess I'll try to check the continuity, if it's unbroken it will read Ohms on the multi-meter correct?

going from the knock sensor connector to the signal pin on the ECU.

The VSS code comes from an out of spec voltage reading from the sensor's circuit, it has nothing to do with how accurate the sensor or the signal is. The ECU has no way of knowing or caring how accurate it is. I'll be working on the Knock sensor tomorrow, I believe the reason it's grounding is beca...

code 33 is due to a bad front ABS sensor... I guarantee you code 33 is NOT related to the ABS sensor. The computers in these cars are stupid in comparison to modern day cars. The ABS and engine control unit are completely separate control units and there is not any wiring linking them together. If ...

I have 4.11 gears in my ss, the vss never came on for that. However I have never had the abs hooked up in my ss. My other ss has the abs light on all the time, but there is no check engine light. I know this doesnt help your knock sensor code, but the vss code will likely put your car into limp mod...

Is your ABS light on? If there's a fault with an ABS sensor, I believe the ABS light itself will be on. I don't think a fault in the ABS system will turn the check engine light on. http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/engine.html#resetecu Now I could be completely wrong about this, but I don't think...

The VSS Code 33 will also put you in limp mode. If the speedometer works, I'm wondering if there's an internal problem in the cluster. code 33 is due to a bad front ABS sensor ( I think I killed it pulling axles in and out ) it had the check engine on after my transmission install for a while, then...

I would suggest checking the knock sensor wiring. Code 33 is the vehicle speed sensor code and has nothing to do with the ABS. A bad or missing speed input to the ECU can cause issues. Does your speedometer work? speedo works (5mph off after changing to 4.11) although a front abs sensor is bad, the...

Cleared the codes turned the key and BAM, there's the knock sensor code again, what the hell... I just replaced it... at this point I imagine it's the knock sensor wire, at this point I'm officially sick of this car, finally get another transmission in it after not being able to drive it for months ...

I can feel the power loss, it's "better" with the knock sensor in but still stuck at 5psi. wouldn't it stop being in limp mode when the check engine light is off... is it possible to be stuck in limp mode.

robertpaige wrote:Possible. What gauge do you have? Does it read directly at 0 when the car is off?

It's actually acting like it's still in limp mode (it was when the knock sensor stopped working) I have no engine codes now, but it's acting like it's stuck in limp mode

how can I resolve this....

Bump, knock sensor replaced, check engine light off, but now I have only 5-6 psi reading on my boost gauge instead of 9.... doesnt really feel like the cars lost power so... maybe my gauge wire got kinked while I was messing about under the steering wheel

1991 legacy ss, the other day my hose going from my recirculating valve back into my intake somehow managed to disconnect, It felt like I had no power, like there was just "no gas" either way I found the hose was off the next day, barely got it home. I pull the check engine light codes and...

It would be far easier to replace your rear diff than swapping the front differential. That takes very specialized knowledge to successfully reassemble an auto. I don't remember what year turbo you have, but if you're worried about keeping the LSD (if you have one), you can swap the ring and pinion...

Any reason you don't just swap the entire diff? That's a WHOLE LOT easier than swapping the ring & pinion and trying to properly set the gear backlash. I wish this forum was more alive, but I guess this is a dying breed, too bad I wasn't in on this five years ago. would I be able to swap a newe...

Are you seating the torque converter properly? If that's not seated properly that could have damaged some of the transmission internals. Let us know how if the other 4EAT works. I don't envy you....the 4eat is a beast of a transmission and a pain to get in and out. Good luck! I planned on paying a ...

cool

I'm about to get the Stromung 3" Cat Back installed behind one of the new Grimmspeed downpipes. I'd like to be sure I've got this right, because it seemed like you contradicted yourself there. What you're saying is, if you wanted all the exhaust hangers to line up perfectly, you would have to ...

Is this possible? changing a 96 4EAT Differential (currently a 4.11) into a 3.9 (from the original 4EAT), I read somewhere it was possible but I have no Idea where to start... or the process involved. is it easier to just install the 4.11 rear differential...? I'm more than capable of changing a tra...

The mid pipe extension can be straight. I'd have the exhaust modified to be a full 3". Doesn't make sense to go 3"-2.5"-3". Also, I just noticed last weekend when my car was on a lift, lengthening the mid pipe causes the axle back not to dip under the diff as tight as it could. ...
