Hi ALL Again!
My 1997 GT Leagcy Wgn just FLASHED it's check engine light! Let me back track....................a few weeks ago my check engine light came on. I went to my Buddies Garage, used his Snap-On engine computer. Found code to say something about 2nd ignition wire. I cleared code, DIDN'T replace the wire (Yet). I drove it around for another 150 miles, check engine light came back on, almost exactly were it came on the first time! So. I've ordered new wires....NEVER been replaced in the 127K miles of this car. I looked at the end of the wires at the Coil PAck, they are clean here. So today, I had errands to do. I kind of Got-on the accelarator for a bit......the Check Engine light starts flashing....then just goes back to being normaly on!! No overheating, full of oil. Is it just a reminder to simply replace that 2nd plug wire? I didn't go to my Buddies garage the second time the light came on. I just ASSumed that it was the same code coming up!

Ya, I'm going to replace ALL the wires soon, the plugs only have 4K miles on them.

HELP! SubeeTEd

Probably a misfire or detonation warning, especially since it occurred while you were getting on the throttle...Utec'd Subaru's do that, but I'm pretty sure its a feature of Utec. However, I do remember reading a while back that a stock Subaru can do the same thing. Someone else will have to verify. It blows me away that those wires have been on the car for so long....you should be on your 5th set by now
