There is a problem if you leave a check engine light on to long there is what techs call. Check light burn in the code get burn in to momery. first have a code check due fix the basic line problem if you have done that you will need a new computer ECM

Trust me it is quite an excercise and not worth doing yourself. With the proper tools, a hoist and a my mate who is a Guru Subaru Mech it took 4 hours. Without having done it before and without the Hoist ( which is wha I was going to do initially ) I'd say you wouldn't get much change out of 8 - 12 hours.

Can't gaurantee it but the catalytic converter would be 1 thing to check. Had the same problem on a mondeo 3500rpm max and gutless as, I found the cat had fallen to bits and blocked the exhuast pipe loads of back pressure etc. hope this helps.

SOURCE: wont pass nys emission inspection. check engine

Have the computer scanned (see my tips and tricks section for a free way to do so - click my screenname and go to Tips and Tricks). There are either latent codes (codes which are set but are not tripping a check-engine light) or you have an issue with a readiness code.

Once the codes are scanned, post them here as a reply/comment and I can work with you on solving the issue.

How do i get ride of code FUEL TEMP SENCOR

Codes related issues have to be diagnosed & find
a problem & fix it

There is no getting rid of dash lights,MIL Lamps,
check engine lights or any resetting of things

You have a vehicle fault or failure & it has to be repaired

ALWAYS--- ALWAYS

I fail to see after 35 years of these systems, no one
knows much about their vehicles

It will pass inspection. No check engine lights or codes. Problem is communication with inspection machine.

I still do not know the answer to the problem.

2003 subaru legacy 2.5L engine misfire at cruse after climbing a long grade all

Sounds likely to be the fuel filter which is located under the hood on the left hand side close to the brake master cylinder. It is of the cartridge type, so if it has not been serviced lately, throw it away and get a new one.

Service Engine Soon light on Will it pass NYS inspection?

as of when they put emission tests on vehicles,if the check engine light is on for any reason, they will not pass it in n.y.s. until the problem or light is off. have the car scanned to find the problem, if no scanner any auto parts will scan it for free.
