1999 Subaru with Engine Light

[Eyolfson]

My 1999 (92,000 miles) Subaru Outback’s engine light came on about a month ago. It also lost power. I took it to my mechanic and it was determined that the idle solenoid needed to be replaced. After it was replaced, the engine light continued to come on—not all of the time, but several days a week. The car also had intermitted loss of power as well. Yesterday, they went ahead and replaced the computer today it continues to have the exact same symptoms. My mechanic is a good guy and he has not charged me since the original repair. Any ideas

What code is the CEL giving? You say loss of power but, how? Does the
engine miss or stumble or what?

Mine had the same symptoms and it was the Knock Sensor.
Save your self a lot of bother and got get someone to read the codes who
know what they mean.....either dealer or other mechanic.
