Dear All,
I have a 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback with 100,000 miles that has
begun to stall after driving approximately 1 mile or 5 minutes the
first time each day. The Check Engine light comes on and may stay on
for a while (but it eventually turns itself off) and the engine begins
to run very rough (as if on maybe 2 or 3 of the 4 cylinders). If you
can shift the automatic transmission into neutral fast enough and step
on the gas hard, you may be able to avoid the stall, but its a hit or
miss situation. When the stall occurs all batery powered items seem
fine (no lights dimming or anything). After it gets its almost daily
stall out of the way, it seems to run fine for the rest of the day.
There are some days when this does not happen, but its rare especially
since it has been below freezing each night and I have been driving in
the early part of the day. Would you have any idea what could be
causing this?
Thank you, (e-mail address removed)
