OCC4me Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi all, I bought a 1990 Legacy wagon from a frustrated former owner who couldn't get it to keep running. I replaced the fuel pump and FP relay (kinda challenging to reach) and it acted much better, but still dies occasionally. I figured out that the fuel pump circuit would stop powering the fuel pump for some reason and the POWER light for the AT would start flashing. So I straight wired the fuel pump with a fused circuit and it ran better, but she still dies although not as often. As Grandpaw said "Beer and patience conquers anything". I have found out that bykeeping the AT in manual mode and keeping the RPMs above 2100 it seems to keep running. It kills my gas mileage but it's better than the 6MPG Ford F250 and this techniquedoesn't work on the back roads I have to run often. I'm suspecting the TPS and will test it according to the Chilton manual this evening. Please let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance.
