Thank You John for your input and welcoming me to the Board So far I haven't had any issues with overheating as you have mentioned that occurs with the Outbacks so far I've been pretty lucky regarding that situation I so agree with the CEL diagnostic difficulty the last time I brought the car into the Dealership for this problem they couldn't find a code stored oddly enough but hopefully I can find out what it is this time before it eludes me again and not have to worry So far the light is still off but My husband is still going to get a reader to be on the safe side Thanks again for your help

Hi Porcupine thanks for the welcome Thank You so much for all your information that is very helpful I do have another dumb question regarding the plugs is it possible for one to become loose from the contact and cause the light to come on?

Last time I got a PO304 (if I remember correctly it may have been 09 can't really remember now) my Husband is going to get a reader and see what is saying this time and I'll let you know what happens Thanks for your help

Hi Rooster that same thing happened to me when I brought it to the Dealership, there weren't any codes stored while it was off so I told them I had aftermarket plugs in it so they checked those out and replaced them How much does a knock sensor go for and is it a pain to install yourself?

Hi Skip thanks for the welcome to USMB I've approx 145,000 plus miles on my car (it brought me across the country from MA in 04)and other than the routine service oil changes I've never had a major problem other than the plugs . I had the dealer put OEM plugs and wires and everything was fine I'm hoping its a plug issue again and nothing more serious Thanks for the advice

Thank You Four Fleet I'll give that a shot hopefully it won't turn out to be a major expense

Hi Everyone not sure if this topic was covered before I'm new to this board and wanted to ask a question regarding a Check Engine Light on my 96 Legacy. This problem occurred before about 6 months or so back the code was a plug missfire so I had those replaced and it was running great until this past Tuesday when the light came on again. The car didn't sputter or feel like it was about to stall as it had done the last time this occured it just flashed then went steady. This morning I noticed the check engine light was off and seemed to be running fine Any advice would really be appreciated Thank You
