Subaru Repair: Check engine light, subaru forester, goodyear auto
QuestionQUESTION: I have a 2002 Subaru Forester. The check engine light came on and I had it diagnosed. (I checked the gas cap first and it was on tight and the tank had been filled about a week before light came on.) I was told it was the knock sensor causing the light. The sensor and sensor circuit checked out Ok. The engine checked out Ok also. It was suggested I use a higher octane gasoline. Have now filled up twice with 89 octane gas and also put in an additive. The light still periodically comes on and stays on for a day or less and then goes out and stays out for a couple days. Any suggestions?
ANSWER: Who tested the knock they almost always fail in that ara car

QUESTION: The problem was diagnosed by a Goodyear auto service garage.
AnswerThats the first problem.Most shops have a generic scan tool.The sample rate on a Subaru specific diagnostic tool is much faster.A tire and repair shop such as good year would go broke buying each manufactures specific scan tool.
Best Suggestion i have is to take it to someone Who Knows Subaru.
