Default Question..

Hey all,

I've owned my Wrxy now for a few months and have noticed that mainly when I get it sliding and it hits rev limiter the check engine light comes on.

I have taken the negative terminal off my battery. Left it for a fair amount of time and when I start my Wrxy up it's still there. But always by the 3rd time the light goes.

Just wondering if anyone else has had something similar or know what it is?
Cheers in advance guys

I am assuming you are talking about sliding the car on a skidpan or race track right ?

Sweet as man, I'll probably have to bring it around as soon as it comes on cause it goes by the 3rd time I start it up

stop being a sook and get up a gear so it doesn't hit the rev limiter

You shouldn't hit the limiter. Limiter bashing will cause your motor to drop a valve.
