  1. I have a 1993 impreza 1.8 2wd with a automatic it seems that it takes 5 to 6 miles of driving for the trans to lock up even on the expressway the fluid has been changed used dextron sythentic I REMENBER HAVING ISSUES MAKING SURE THE LEVEL WAS CORRECT CAN IT BE A LITTLE LOW.it does not matter how long i let it warm up it still takes an easy 6 to 10 miles before it will lock up is this normal?also don't laugh at me fellows is there some type of resistor that we can use on the temp sensor to make the coumputer think the car is warm so it can lean out and burn less gas?i think my car should get better mialge only gets about 22-23 in mixed driving suppose to get 24city and 30 hwy i fiqure it should get 26 in mixed driving.34psi in tires has a light weight under drive pulley tuned up and easy driving no jack rabbit starts.

  2. i have a 93 impreza and i beleave it gets poor gas only 24 combined city and highway.its tuned up new o2 sensor tires have 35pounds of air it even has a little lite weight crank pulley driving slow no speeding no jack rabbit starts clean air filter,it was rated 24 city 30 highway whats up???also the dealer did timing belt and water pump and the cars seems to have a very slight pinging like the low octane even with 93 it stills does it the car is a 1.8 134,000 miles auto trans.

  3. your car has a puter, it has two modes, open loop and closed loop. Open loop is when the runs off of preset programs. When the car is warmed up it runs in closed loop. the car is now communicating with all sensors and making decisions.

    Limp home mode is the car runs on the bare essentials cause iot has a component failure or is getting information that doesnt make sense to it from its sensors, or the car isnt reacting as it should. never ignore a blinking light, be it a cel or tranny temp light

     

    hope that helps

    check engine lite only comes on when starting car never while driving should i change the o2 sensor any way??
