dvries Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My 2002 Forester has a off-and-on problem that a Subaru mechanic cannot fix.....it gulps and gasps when cold and then runs good most of the time after warm-up.....except occasionally when coming to a stop. Premium gas seems to help a little bit. Mechanic has done compression test, new wires and plugs, etc., etc. everything else checks out according to spec's. Dash warning light does not come on.

cookie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'd try a coolant temp sensor if it is only while cold. They often don't throw a code and they are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
