Ok here we are again I get one issue fixed and then she acts up again.. This new one is different. however the other day I was driving into town (45 minutes ) and about 1/2 way there anytime I had to stop or take my foot off the gas it would wait about a second and then die like it was not getting enough gas. then later the shift on light just kept flashing on for about 30 seconds and hten off then in about 5 minutes later it would flash on again (this is going down the hwy in 5th gear at 60-65 mph. so i ended up having to drive with my foot on the brake and gas whenever I came to a stop or slowed down. then to make matters more confusing. it quit doing it for a while and then a day or so later it started 1/2 stalling every so often dieing but not as predictable. and the shift up fhashing off and on again.

 

Now that shift up indicator usually when it comes on when it is not needed in my car it has always ment that the fusble links were loose and I would take them out and mash them in and then it would run fine for months (it was stalling back then too but the fusable links would fix it) We have a new carb, a new fuel pump, new fuel filters, I only buy premium as reg runs bad. she has new oil pump new timing belts, new radiator, the heads were done recently. However the person we bought her from I think redid some wiring and the battery has about 3 things connected to one of the ends they were corroded but I cleaned them all up. She is starting to act like a money pit. but I like it when she runs right my son is supposed to take his driving test next weekend so we are trying to get it in top shape so he can pass his test. (other wise this 1/2 stalling would not bug me as much. )

 

I almost want to say that it is some wiring or some computer part. or ????something to do with the both the fusable links sit in. Do they go bad in the older subaru's?? mine is a 86 with the E82? engine. Any sugestions she has good compression and gets good spark. We just replaced the spark plugs too. ANyone else had this issue. I know my newphews car had trouble with the fusbale links but he just needed to take them out and put them back in and then his car ran fine. anyclues would be appreciated as everything looks fine and I do not want to go out and buy more parts only to have it be something else we have already done that way to many times with this car.
