Hi All,

I got the dreaded CEL light today when starting my car.

It flashed 8 times, paused and then falshed twice. Performance wise seems to be ok...

Any ideas? No Subaru dealer to take my car to over here... help!


Thanks in advanced!

Remember your running an autronic ECU. I dont think Subaru would be able to help you too much.
