98 Forester Flashing AT TEMP


Recommended Posts

It's not the 16 flashes after start up indicating a fault code.

When driving for a while, it will start flashing continuously.

Engine Temp is fine, normal driving no shifting issues.

Turn the car off and start it again and the AT TEMP is back to normal.

Helping a fellow here in Colorado Springs.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Larry

Well he hand a 2+ volt drop in the +battery cable going to the starter.  He changed it today and said it made a world of difference.  Was hard starting, CEL was on for knock sensor...

Computers like good stable power!

Hope it takes care of all issues.

He texted me today and said it did not want to start.  Crancks but not fire.  If he sprays a little starting fluid in the vacumm port, it starts right up and will continue to do so for the day.  Seems like when it sits, it's loosing fuel pressure.  

I suggested he Tee in a pressure gauge after the fuel filter to see what's happening.

- Engine has been changed 2.5 to 2.2 swap.

- He changed the fuel pump and filter to new NAPA units.

I changed the 3 relays on the drivers side next tothe fuses.  I have not had the time to dig into the schematics.

That should be pretty much it, unless the fuel pump is not being powered.
