One of the most important things the fan does is stay on when you shut the engine off. Temperature can rise in the engine block with the car not moving. The fan causes the temp in the radiator to lower and the natural motion of hot and cold coolant causes flow through the engine block.
Check coolant level or possibly a bad coolant level sensor. If either of these are at fault, it can cause the engine to shut down or run with reduced power to keep from damaging the engine. Had this problem with a 2005 Freightliner w/ Detroit engine. (bad coolant level sensor)
The engine has an automatic shut down if it reaches a certain temperature to protect the engine. Possibly it could need a new thermostat for less than $20. It is possible the thermostat is stuck in the closed position not allowing fluid to circulate throughout the engine. Try it and see. Cheaper than a mechanic to replace it for you.
Is your Subaru automatic transmission or manual? If it is Automatic Gear box one possibility is the bands inside the gear box stay slight close causing the move stiff.It is Like the Handbrake activation. If this is the cause,please try to see you mechanic and ask for his help and advise,and do not try to do anything on your own. The other possibility is the handbrake itself,even you put it down might the cable do not release the handbrake shoes inside the drums and move stiff and as your reverse speed is low cuts out immediately.
code p3190 refers to low engine power--malfunction. Possible causes ---intake system, fuel system---mechanical fault---Mass air flow sensor---engine coolant temperature sensor---crankshaft position sensor---camshaft position sensor --- ECM. I would start with the water coolant sensor as if it reads boiling it will shut down the engine.
The issue you describe can be caused by several possible conditions. The best advice I can offer is take the vehicle into an authorized Hyundai Service Department to have it properly diagnosed. The worse thing about chasing parts is you may or may not just get lucky on the repair. Then again you may end up shelling out $100's of bucks before you actually hit on the cause. Possible Causes 1. Malfunctioning thermostat in the evaporator - monitors evaporator temperature so it doesn't freeze over. 2. Malfunctioning A/C control head (panel) 3. System is possibly UNDERcharged (insufficient refrigerant) 4. Malfunctioning Tripple Switch (the switch monitors pressure in the system: i.e., if pressure is too high, it will shut down the A/C; if pressure is too LOW, it will shut down the A/C) If this switch is malfunctioning, it can cause the symptom you describe. 5. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor malfunction - if the sensor is lying, telling the engine computer that the temperature of the engine is above 230 degrees, the computer will shut down the A/C. This is why you should have the problem properly diagnosed. Hope this helps.
The emissions problem Should Not cause a shut down, It sounds like the Ign module could still be the problem, (if something happened on instillation, as they are VERY fragile) or possibly the Crank Position Sensor, You should have a Scanner used on it to determine the exact problem or you could end up spending alot of money chasing the problem ? The Ign coil is NOT a common problem with the 3.8
computer possibly has noticed a reason to shut down engine try checing the oil low oil psi will cause the computer to shut down engine before damage occurs
The most likely senario is that the water pump went bad which caused the overheating in the first place. Then after the engine shut down, the water pump seized up. When the engine was restarted, the timing belt started to smoke because the water pump, which runs off the timing belt, was not turning. Since the engine overheated to the point of shutting down, blown head gaskets are a possibility. Put a new timing belt and water pump on it and start it up. If it runs OK, you're good to go.
