howards11 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'm having a wierd CEL problem. The last few weeks I was having a CEL problem right after I would fill up. The problem would clear once I removed the gas cap, put it back on and started the car about 4 times. The other day on the way to work the problem started again. I replaced the Stant locking gas cap with another locking one I have around as a spare. The spare is new. I went out for a meeting last night after work with the new cap in place and everything was A-OK. I think I drove about 8-10 miles round trip. This morning I started the car and everything was fine except after driving about 2-3 blocks the CEL came on AGAIN ! I'm clueless at this point. When the CEL happens the car feels like it has lost power. Does anyone have some suggestions as to what the problem might be ? I know Auto Zone can read the codes and I might stop there tonight on the way home from work. ~Howard :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have the fault code, I'm sure it will be much easier for someone here to help you get a handle on the situation. Otherwise its just going to be a bunch of speculation.

howards11 Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I finally got to Auto Zone and they pulled the code. The code is P0325 which according to my list means KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. Is there a easy fix for this problem ? Thanks in advance for your help. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howards11 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well it's off to the mechanic on Monday. I found out that my extended warranty which expires in 8/18/05 might cover the knock sensor. That would make this repair only $50 which is my deductible. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howards11 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 All well that ends well ! I had the knock sensor replaced today under my extended warranty. The Forester seems to be running better. Hard to explain. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
