I have a 2002 WRX. I just swapped out the turbo for a VF39. The car ran fine before I did that, although it did have a slight ticking to it. We put the turbo on and I installed my APS intake that was previously installed. (it is the the older version, not the new ones that are stamped with a number) I had it on the car before winter started, but took it off. At first the intake makes the car idle a little rough but the car learns itself out of it, so that wasn't a problem.

This is my problem:
We installed the new turbo and intake. I let the car run and idle for 20-25 minutes and then I took it out to see how it drove. It was fine at first, but the pedal felt a little empty, if that makes sense. After that, the car started shaking a little and the CEL started flashing in about .5 second on .5 second off intervals. The car was idling very rough when we got back. I put the stock air box back on and then turned the car back on. The CEL was still flashing and the car was idling a little better. I then pulled the neg terminal on the battery and pumped the brake to drain the excess power. After a few minutes I reconnected it and started the car and the CEL was still flashing at the same rate.

What could be causing this? I looked under the dash above the pedals for the black and green plugs. All I found was 2 green plugs, 1 black, and 1 white. When I connected the 2 green plugs the CEL flashed faster than before, but it was still a steady flash.

Any help would be appreciated, and the sooner the better. I will probably leave the car at my buddies house, and go to AutoZone tomorrow and have them put their scan tool into it.

If you want to reply to this you can, or you can e-mail me at nvoils@indy.net

Thanks to anyone that can help,
Nick
