Drive light on or flashing with the engine running means a transmission problem. Often it's a bad sensor. Many auto parts stored will read the odd code for free, in the hope you'll buy pat from them. Don't delay diagnosed, even if you have go pay a deal er to read the code.

SOURCE: Check engine and d4 lights on

d4 is flashing as a trouble code for the automatic transmission... i would say without research that it is a code for a transmission solenoid. maybe while washing the car some water got in and caused a short...these solenoids are usually weatherproof....you could try disconnscting the battery for 30 secs..to clear the trouble code and then start the car. remember you may lose your preset info!

SOURCE: drive 4 light flashing when i put the key in.

This light is flashing to indicate a fault has occurred in the transmission, have a test run on the control module of the trans to figure out what that might be, it could be a simple fix once you have the trouble code.

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

2008 subaru outback xt, has rattling sound under hood, check engine light is flashing and it seems to be loosing power espically up hill, any ideas?

If the CEL is flashing you need to stop driving. The rattling could be anything from a bad valve to a thrown rod or bearing within the engine.

My 2001 Avensis started fine one morning then while

Hi:
Does your cars check engine light come on or off at all? If you had a misfire, it would trip the check engine light. Often a misfire is caused by a bad ignition module, and not just one sparkplug, but the only way to see what your car is doing is to have it scanned to see if anything is stored in the memory. Often , auto parts stores will do this for free, and that way you might have a clue to what is going on under the hood!

Flashing oil light/ loss of power

Check your converter on your exhaust when it's running and see if the noise of rattling is coming from there.If it is you have a plugged converter,it's broken up and in piece's which will make noise and no power especially when calling for power.Be sure to let exhaust cool before repair is done.If the engine is making the noise like a knocking sound you should bring it to have it checked.Hope this help's.

Flashing check engine light

If its an orange light its a service engine soon light, the car can be driven, if its a red check engine light DO NOT DRIVE because of risk to damage the engine. However if there is an auto zone close by they will check the light for free. Then I can work with you from there. Good Luck
