1 Lucky Texan Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) limp mode? My 06 WRX has done that twice due to spurious TGV codes. cleared the ECU and everything went back to normal. knock sensor bad? full of low octane fuel? carbon deposits in cylinders?

afterbang Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 are you experiencing overboost? the ecu will cut fuel if there is an overboost event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
