--00 (rev) or redline setting
 

Ok, I am writing this to maybe help others. I've been having problems with my car. First of all, at take off it bogs down until 1000 rpms. Almost like the fuel cuts off or the throttle gets stuck then abruptly it takes off. Second it been feeling really unstable at first I believed I had bent something. The car would sway almost as if the a wheel was loose, or really warped. Taking a corner wasn't smooth, almost like the car was really loose. This was all the bad and I had no idea what was going on!!! Almost gave up on her!! Well today I was watching YouTube and there's a video on ther about 10 free mods for our car. One of them was how to set redline!! I thought to my self---why not--- so I checked the rev limiter and it said (--00) wtf. Does anybody know what this is or what it stood for? Anyways I set the rev limiter, turned on the shift light, and turned on the transmission shift numbers! Low and behold took it for a drive and like all my problems have disappeared. Doesn't bog and drives straight as an arrow now. And turns like it use to!!!!!!! All I can think is I was having some programming issue and some how it was reset!! Any ideas??? Hopes this helps someone!!! Check yours to be on the safe side cause I'm not sure how my got this way!!

Activating, deactivating or stting the rev indicator (which is NOT a rev limiter) shouldn't have affected any of those aberrations your car had. Note, a deactivated rev indicator will read "00".

How many beers did you have setting the rev indicator .......?? :popcorn:

Well....
The "rev redline" is just a glorified shift light. You can set at any rev for shits and giggles.
My guess, seems like you bought your car used right? If so I'm betting it has some type of shitty tune before.

That's the problem with shitty tunes, they are linked to some weird dash controls. One has the cruise control to switch tune maps. Great if you know it's there, sucks donkey **** for the next owner that doesn't know.

As far as the swaying, check your rear tire's pressure. Having 10psi more or less on one wheel will make it act weird.

I went in to change the rev limiter! And instead of showing something like 7400. It show --00 on my dash. So I set it and everything seems to work. And yes I wouldn't think it would effect those things too. But I'm telling you it's like all my bugs are gone. Thought about it if the computer has a faulty setting on the rev limiter then maybe it was cause some kind of limp mode or something. I mean when I took off maybe the rev limiter tried to kick on at like o rpms and big it down. And the other prob I don't know but there gone. As for the steering it seems as if the computer has relearned something too cause my steering is stable now and before like I stated it was loose feeling

Yea I believe u might be on to something maybe I set the car back to factory setting some how, and yes it was used but I didn't experience these problems for nearly 6 months and then over night they seem to be there. As for tire pressure I've already checked them and I check the alignment every was spot on seen the printout! I'm telling you some how some way when I reset it everything got better including the how the car rides and turns don't know why??? Still wonder what --00 meant

Shitty tune. Yep.

--00 means that you can only modify the first 2 digits, thus the --. it comes from the factory at --00 if it wasn't programmed. nothing wrong with it

Why are you letting the clutch out below 1000 rpm?

Well, -Willis-86touge ...... if it's running right now and driving straight, I wouldn't worry about it ...... :burnrubber:

I do appreciate your heads up in case my car gets cursed that way .....;)


humfrz

please read the manual.

Please.

I beg you.

This ^

Our cars like to be in the higher RPM ranges in general. Letting clutch out below 1000rpm will feel like the engine is dying. Low RPM while going up hills will also make you think the engine is dying.

Also this ^

You can find the manual online very easily.

Other than that, --00 shouldn't affect anything unless its tied to some weird tune the previous owner put in the car as previously stated.

Cat got your tongue, there swarb ......... ;)

So setting the shift light indicator (it's not a rev limiter) fixed your suspension/wheel? Yeah, OK. Sure.

I love how online you never get the full story, only bits and pieces either of the before or the after.... Ah well, who gives a shit, it works now :iono:

This is the full story didn't fix any suspension the problems disappeared after rev change also I don't let the clutch out under 1000? Where did that even come from?? Lol O well like people said its fixed now.

I Re read my post. Don't let the clutch out under 1000 just using it a a ref point. What I should of said as soon as I let my clutch out it bogs around 1000 to 2000 and yes I know how to drive. It does it if I'm really carful too, I have read we have a tsb or re flash for sum thing similar

Well...
Ummmmmm......




The indicator.....
Too low RPMs will....
Ahhhh shit, forget it.

Dude what would happen if you shifted to 2nd on the highway? Your RPM's would skyrocket. Same thing is true of the opposite. If you're moving slow and in a higher gear, the RPM's drop drastically low. The engine requires a certain amount of RPM's to produce enough power to move you. If you are in too high of a gear, any car in the world will bog (manual transmission, of course). If this is happening in first gear and you can't go any lower then you're letting the clutch out too early or not giving enough gas. Geez, I thought this was common sense for anyone who drives a stick shift.

You basically just said "If I turn the temp up in my freezer, then my ice cream melts. I don't do that though, just using it as a reference point."

I know how to drive bro I can fill the clutch engage and disengaging it's not that! I'm almost sorry because I might not be saying this right. It's not in the SHIFT! After I give it gas and drive... The car takes off... One second later... The car bogs... In first gear... With the gas fully depressed. And I'm not in the middle of a shift! And yes revs are between 1000-2000 rpms. The point being it is gone now so I beleve maybe the throttle position was acting up. And yes before this was done, I had did a throttle sensor reset and it did not help. I have also thought about it with the setting showing --00 I was curious if it as possible if my car was reading that and trying to redline at low rpms causing the bog. Almost as a glitch then the computer realized the mistake and allow the car to rev to a normal rpm. Hence this would not effect other gears seeing how I would stay above the fake redline setting. I have read about other with a Similar prob! So maybe like I said in a previous post, other have had to take their car to the dealer to get a update or reflash.

OP:

you may know how to drive, but you're definitely not good at conveying your problem/issue and putting it into words. The indicator you speak of is a shift light. Adjusting it does not affect redline in this car.

I beg you, read the manual.

I re-read your posts several times, and... aaah shit, forget it.

You dummies got trolled

How long have you been driving a stick? Sounds like you are fairly new to it. Let out slow under 1000 you may very well stall under a light, I wouldn't suggest that. These aren't lazy cars, they expect to be gone in first and gone more in second. You're casual driving can happen in 5th def. in 6th. You should be throttling down when you are letting out in first. As far as the shift light its just there to say hey you its time to shift! You're shift light fixed none of your problems, perhaps you were having a good day. It def. didn't fix your stirring problem
Sounds like you are new on the clutch and need practice. How is your traffic driving?

Forget it arguing just ain't worth it, but one last thing a person might get told their good at having sex but 9 out of 10 she's lying to you and in turn you lie to your self, fuc**** is just like driving but in my case I don't hear it from her I hear it from her friends who want to fuc* me!! Morale you can tell yourselves what you wish and I apologize for not being able to completely explain what going on! And I never claimed anything I just stated the facts and was looking for answers not criticism. Boy no wonder why the world so fuc*** up, everyone knows every thing!! Have a nice day! Enjoy being hateful if there is such a thing.

Page 201 on the Subaru BRZ Owner's Manual is what answers your question, sex fiend.

In case you are lazy:

Adjusts shift light and loose wheel becomes stable:suicide:

Yup

You should reverse those settings to what they were before.
Now there's two possibilities:

1. The problems comes back: You have a shitty tune connected to one of those settings.

2. Problems are still gone: Your car was cursed and your powerful spells has worked.

I could sure use some tacos just about right now right now. Some asada and al pastor. Unfortunately, they don't add guacamole.

That's how much some posts made sense lol


I'd check my transmission, clutch assembly, injectors, then if no issue found, take to dealer and test drive one of their twins to see if I am the problem or my car is.
