Yes I have searched, and I'm sure some people will still tell me to, however, this car is seriously fucked. I have a friend in SA with a 00 WRX with a fmic, exhaust and a flashed ecu, and the car has run like absolute crap for a really long time. The company that install these ecus in SA have got his car and still can't get it to run. Basically everything leads it to the AFM being fucked; when the afm is plugged in it dies, unplug it and it goes into limp mode. So generally that would be the problem right? Anyway so grab a new AFM, same deal, throw a new computer with the same flash on it, along with a new AFM and it dies, throw a standard ecu along with a new AFM still dies. They've also done all the normal other problematic checks (O2, compression...etc). The car just doesn't run, these guys can't figure it out, and I'm not expecting anyone to pinpoint the problem or anything like that, but just some suggestions for them to look at.

Cheers, Alex
