Re: water temperature sensor engine code

yeah. there is still some hidden issue where the engine light comes on when the car is really cold (over a night of 45 degrees or lower), but then it goes away when it warms up. One of those annoyingly hidden issues.

best clutch?

I searched for this but it kept on saying that clutch was too common a word so here we go. What is the best clutch for the buck on a 1991 Legacy L FWD. I really don't want to pay over $160. My clutch is probably going to last only a couple more weeks since the pedal nearly comes to the top and it sl...

Hi does anyone know what the operating temperature of a 1991 legacy 2.2 FWD? Also does anyone know what the temperature is by judging it off of the gauge. By this I mean when the gauge is at 1/4 or 1/2 whats the temperature? And finally at what temperature does the thermostat open? I know its a lot ...

Re: water temperature sensor engine code

Well my canister purge solenoid valve is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I know that should have nothing to do with my current issue but we can all pray right?

Re: water temperature sensor engine code

I have the exact same issue but i thought it was because of the fuel system cleaner I put in. Also I decided to check the fan relay. When I put the car in the start position I hear it click on and when I turn the key all the way off it clicks off after about 3-4 seconds. Although if when the car is ...

Re: water temperature sensor engine code

I just flushed the coolant. The car sort of has a hard start when I turn it on but thats mostly to a Red Line fuel cleaner that just made things worse. I dont hear the relay when I turn on the car so I will check that and the ac pressure switch.

Re: water temperature sensor engine code

The black and green wires are tucked under a little bit of tape. The green connector is a T shaped clip while the black one is a tiny rectangle. They are also both single wire clips. I would send pics but I cant figure out how to do it on this forum. :smt017

water temperature sensor engine code

Hi everyone. I purchased a 1991 legacy 2.2L fwd about 4 months ago. When I first got it everything was perfect. Two days later though the check engine light came on when I turned on the car. Then the code eventually went off (soft code). But then it came back and never left. I tried to run a MODIS o...
