Both codes refer to the LH driver side tgv.
To repair the tgv faults mentioned above requires removal of the intake system, intercooler, fuel lines and the tgv units.
I would highly recommend a professional fot this repair.
Used parts can be located at the link below.
The sensor is actually a throttle position sensor.
They are not cheap and can run $200+new.
The tgv units are an emission control device and need to be working to pass an emissions test.

My car is a 2004 Subaru WRX STI, and the code is cylinder 1 misfire. what does this mean? and how do i fix it? Thank You

That means that the fuel being injected into cylinder 1 is not being ignited at the proper time.

Check your spark plug wires for damage and make sure that the plug boot or coil assembly is seated properly on the plug.

If all of the above are correct then it needs to have the spark plugs changed.

only advice i can give it take the instrument cluster out of the dash and remove the light bulbs for both items. although it's not smart advice but it will solve your problem of not wanting to have it fixed correctly.

What does the diagnostic code P2181 mean on a Subaru Impreza WRX?

this is a coolant performance code. Usuallly sets this code if the connector was left unhooked to the coolant sensor or the thremostat is stuck open. By any chance do you have a gauge that seems to be on the cold side ??

Need to change clutch on a subaru WRX 2-1994 model

no it does not, the wrx has its throw out bearing attached to a shaft that needs to be removed before you seperate the trans from the engine. you will see a access plug on the drivers side just below the starter,remove the plug with a 10mm hex to gain access the shaft,install a 6 mm by 1.0 bolt into the threaed portion of the shaft and slide it out,the throw out bearing is attached to the pressure plate with a large cir clip, make sure the throw out and shaft are reinstalled on the trans before it is installed,when it is, push fork while standing in front of the car to attach the the throw out bearing to the pressure plate, good luck!

Subaru check engine light

Under the steering column there are two clips, clip them together and your subaru is in diagnostic mode, turn your reds on and you will get a series of flashes, count the slow flashes, thats your first number then count the fast flashes and thats your second number so * * * * ***** would be fault code 45. Find the fault and fix it then disconect your battery and turn your lights on to drain the power from and reset your computer. disconnect the clips and connect battery and the check engine light should be off.
