167K miles on my 96 OB. Runs great EXCEPT for two things:
1-The CEL going on within 70 miles after reset and the $%^& temp gauge. The last time the mechanic reset the CEL he said he cleaned something out but I don't remember what (he's not available for me to inquire).
No detrimental codes, gas cap is fine. Why the CEL?
2-The temp is fine and the gauge remains in the 8:30 position...EXCEPT if I stop. It will remain in the 8:30 position until I start to accelerate again. The gauge will run up to the 10:00, 11:00 and even the 12:00 positions and then drop down. The car will not overheat. One mechanic at Subaru told me that antifreeze is mixing into the gas and I should cut my losses. That was five months ago. I do often add antifreeze.
Again the car does not overheat. One mechanic used a laser thermometer and told me that the temperature was fine. Another told me that there could be air in the line.
Why the gauge problems?
Thanks to all.
