ECU & Slip light p0015 ~ p0019 error
 

Is your beloved 86 stuttering, miss-firing, idle-ling between 400 and 500rpm and even stalling, resulting in The ECU and Slip light constantly light giving a P00** error??????

There is a thread CEL error, just search for it.

I know, thought to Start an RSA thread

Touch wood - not yet

Nope, but it seems to me that the alcohol/petrol blends in the states have something to do with it.

Thankfully Sasol stopped blending alcohol in ours in the eighties (? if I remember correctly).

Hpefully the new Engen primax every forum is raving about doesn't cause the same issue. In the newer batches the table tollerences has been increased.

Nope.

well mine was one of six in SA to give the dreaded p0019 error with 90km on the clock, thought i bought a lemon, and demanded a new 86, then they got the guys from TRD to come to Secunda to investigate, the problem lies with the VVTI cam gear as the error code points out, there is a snail type spring inside the camgear that got stuck in the advance position due to red-lining too much before the mandatory 1600km drive in time.

all is well now and almost at 3000km on the clock.

Very interesting, I wonder how long before new cars are governed to 4000rpm for the first 1000 miles?

More motivation for me to keep it below 4000rmp

that's the problem she only comes alive above that 4000rpm mark!!!!!

Sav and me set our buzzer to 4000, helps a lot

what buzzer, there's a buzzer?

apparently the below 4000rpm for the first 1600km is a Subaru thing, has something to do with the boxer engine, as Toyota them selves do not have a drive in period on there engines not even on the new TRD Aurus.
