Car is running like complete shit.

Post by turbolegacy93 »

I have a 93 legacy ss.. When you start it the idle stumbles really bad and sounds like its missing a little bit. When you get on it the turbo spools but the motor looses a lot of power an the check engine light flickers. I can not figure out what it is! Please help!

probably like mine. knock sensor/maf sensor. get under the drivers side dash and find a single prong black plastic cable. There should be a male female end. mate those together and turn the engine to acc or on but dont start it. the codes will flash slow and fast. for example. 2 slow flashed and 2 fast flashes like mine showed followed by 4 long and 9 short made my codes 22 and 49 which explained the two about things possibly failing.
