Hi all,
Well I took your advice and went to AutoZone and got my check engine
light tested. It came back with: "P0325 Knock Sensor #1 Circuit
Malfunction Bank #1 or #1 Sensor." Anyone know what that means? Advice
on what my next step should be? The problem has gotten a lot worse, my
poor baby's not doing well at all, then there are some trips she'll act
like she's just fine. The light had stayed on solid for the last four
days or so, but then went off again on the way home tonight. One thing I
forgot to mention, about a week and a half ago I was turning right at a
red light. I came to a complete stop, then when I went to turn, it acted
like it wasn't in gear at all. (This is an automatic transmission.) I
took my foot off the gas, put it back on the break, and when I tried again
it slowly moved forward. During this time I hadn't touched the gear shift
at all.
Ok, that's my story of woe, any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi there,
This is probably on the site somewhere, but I haven't found it yet, so
sorry if this is a repeat.
I have a WONDERFUL 1999 Subaru Forrester that I adore, but it's
apparently not feeling so well. When I put my foot on the gas it takes a
minute to catch up and actually accelerate, and sometimes it shudders as
it does. It idles very rough. It's worse in the rain, especially, and
when first driving, but doesn't do it all the time. The check engine
light is coming on and off, (not blinking,) but sometimes it's on and
sometimes not. : / My mechanic said he thought it was the transmission,
(at about $3400,) and to take it to the Subaru dealership. I'm planning
on doing that, just haven't had time with my work schedule. A friend
who's
had several Forresters says that it should go away if I have the Fuel
Filter serviced? It's only at about 75,000 miles, so it shouldn't be the
transmission anytime soon, should it? Also interesting is that my mother
has the exact same car, and she has the same issue, mine's just worse
right now.
Anyone experienced this? I'm planning on taking it in, but I'd love
to have some idea what I'm dealing with.
Thanks for reading!
