Thanks for the suggestions. I drove the car after the secret handshake method told me it was a 77 and the light went out. The check engine light is on still but I haven't had a chance to drive the car much since. I'll put some miles on it this weekend and I hope the CEL light goes out too. If not I'll take into consideration the idea of taking it back to the shop it came from and asking them to follow up with these suggestions. I'll update if I find out more. What is the rpm supposed to be at 70 mph? 2002 2.5 TS

I just bought an '02 impreza TS with a blown motor (It ran out of oil and melted most of the inside and put a hole in the block). I had the engine swapped with a rebuilt one and when it was done the AT light and Engine light were both on. The mechanic scanned the code and it said it a gear was in lock up. None of the gears are locked up and it shifts fine. I just drove it home last night and the light stayed (flashing) on the whole (20 miles) way home. I haven't tried anything yet and in reading the posts it seems like the most likely starting place would be to check the connections. I'll also see if I can try to read the code with the secret handshake method mentioned but I think it is blinking twice per second indicating that there are no codes. Is it possible that when the engine went out it caused the tranny to overheat and the code will reset itself with more miles put on? Is there a way to make the light stop blinking if it is not reading a code? Thanks for any help I just got home and tried the secret handshake and it shows 7 long blinks followed by 7 short blinks. Does anyone know what a 77 code means? Thanks
