CEL on. AccessPort reads the code as PFFFE, with no description behind it. Subaru dealership's OBD-II diagnostics don't read any codes. Code returned after being cleared with AP. Ideas?

Re: 04 STi CEL on...no description with code
Mmk, doing a little reading on IWSTI leads me to PFFFE being a misfire code. Double you tea eff, mate? Is this correct?

Did a lot of reading here and on NASIOC, and it seems that a lot of people have had this code, but no one has actually figured out WHY. Any help?

Re: it's the dreaded PFFFE code! dun dun dun!
Yea, mine was solved by re-attaching the coil back when it somehow backed it self out...dont know how till this day, but been working like a champ ever since..

Re: it's the dreaded PFFFE code! dun dun dun!
well was born in Russia if it helps. Well about your car, does it drive normally, any smoke out of the exhaust or oil cap, rough idle, have you changed your sparkplugs since you bought the car? problem can be caused by bad sparkplug or coilpack or injector. The only way to find the problem yourself is if you find out which cylinder is misfiring to switch the injector or sparkplug with another cylinder(one at a time) and see if the other cylinder is misfiring. I haven't had this problem so im sure somone that has can give you better advice.

I have to stop and wonder if this issue is connected to the car's main issue...see this thread.

Haven't changed the spark plugs since I've had the car. And the car pulls like a monster, no smoke, and idles a little rough, but isn't too bad. We'll see what we can figure out.

Re: it's the dreaded PFFFE code! dun dun dun!
yeah, thats not good. should have left her stock. You might as well start with trying to figure out if she is indeed misfiring, maybe check your coils, plug wires, if all seems well inspect your plugs for discoloration to find the problem cylinder. Your partial throttle problem is over my head, if i had to guess it would be a problem with the tune or a leak.

Re: it's the dreaded PFFFE code! dun dun dun!
A leak sounds more likely...since it was doing it both before and after the tune. God only knows where the leak would be though. Everything I've inspected looks solid.
Should have left her stock? Are you kidding?!

anyone get "???????" along with the P30x codes?

Have you swapped the coilpack to a different cylinder yet? See if the misfire follows that coilpack. Same thing for injector. Otherwise, Compression/leakdown test next.
Compression/leakdown test was performed while we had everything pulled apart enough to get to the spark plugs. Came back A-OK. And the PFFFE code doesn't designate a cylinder...it's not even readable by dealer diagnostics...only AccessPort. There's no description by it. If it weren't for IWSTI, I wouldn't even know it was a misfire code.
I had the same problem on our LGT. It ended up being a bad injector that had to be replaced under warranty. Make sure that your spark plugs are gapped correctly also.
