Hey everybody, I'm new here (yeah, like you didnt know that, lol) and i just wanna say that this website is AWESOME!! theres a TON of great info on here!!
Now to my problem. Ok, my mom drives a '98 forester with about 179 thousand miles on it. over the past year, the check engine light has started to come on for no apparent reason. I say "no apparent reason" because the first couple of times it came on she took it to a mechanic, and he ran a diagnostic check on it, and could find no problems. so after the first couple of times, my mom decided it was getting too expensive to keep checking, so she just ignored it. It doesnt come on rite away, but after driving a certain distance it will come on, or if you go up a steep hill or down one. now, last week, the speed sensor failed, so my took it to the dealership and they replaced it, and also found 68 error codes recorded on the computer! the car now runs and shifts much better, so naturally i figured that the speed sensor was causing the light to come on. Not so. today i was driving, and I went up a fairly steep hill, and BLINK! there it comes on again. anyone have any advice?
