adamsimp Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have a 2008 Legacy 2.5i and the check engine light is on and the cruise light is flashing. Also the car won't rev over 4000 RPM. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbhrps Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 adamsimp, These are the items that come up for a code P0028. Possible causes - Dirty engine oil - Low engine oil level- Faulty intake valve control solenoid- Intake valve control solenoid harness is open or shorted- Intake valve control solenoid circuit poor electrical connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 the car is in limp mode. If the car has been well maintained and oil level/quality is good and there have been no wrecks/recent repairs (have there?) , I would start by clearing the code. A code reader can do this - or, disconnecting the neg. battery terminal, stepping on the brake pedal a coupla times, and maybe also waiting 10-20 minutes (or, disconn. neg. batt. terminal at bedtime, re-conn. in the morning) then, see if the code comes back immediately. If it does, probably needs the attention of a mechanic that could properly diagnose it according to the factory service manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ths is interesting. I had a customer in my oil ship that had this code the day after her oil change. Did you do an oil change? I suspect the code was dripped in the mmentary pressure loss during the initial startup after changing the filter. Prime your filter, folks!
