Subaru Forester woes

Sounds like wiring to me? Boy those can be hard to track down.

Oh yes. Let me guess the last person to do your brakes thought it'd be a good idea to machine the rotors? Or the last yahoos to rotate your tires used impact wrenches to put your lugnuts back on but decided to forgo the use of a torque stick? These are two rather common ways you end up with warped rotors.

This actually has an outside chance of being related to the first issue. Check for corroded grounds, frayed wires, loose connections and the like. If you have a wiring diagram and seeing how that airflow thingee connects to the world, that might give you where and what to look at before giving the pros another shot at debugging it.

"Warped disks" are usually "pad-deposited" disks...operator error. The clock malfunction looks to be a bad solder joint; have an electronics tech friend touch up the joints for you.

Warped disks are often caused by not torquing the wheel bolts to the proper values i.e. impact wrench instead of a torque wrench or torque stick extension. Ed

I had repeated problems with the Check Engine light coming on in a 1985 Honda Prelude Si. Under warranty, the dealer tried everything, even replacing the computer. Finally, they kept the car for a couple of days to take the wiring apart, clean all the contacts, and put it back together. That solved the problem.

I would remove and clean all under hood ground connections. i.e. battery, chassey (spring tower), to engine, and including the starter. Next clean the alternator connections.

couple of seconds before driving normally again.

Try new plug wires.

ByeBye! S.
