Hello
When the service engine
soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management
light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain
Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the
systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the
engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission
system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these
faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control
module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine
control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then
you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the
appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was
performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

This car is a 1995 Subaru Legacy and I was wondering if it could be the Mass air flo sensor that is making the engine light to stay on?
Would like to find out where to buy a OBD1 for a 95 Subaru?
Would also like to know where to buy a Mass Air Flo Sensor for my 1995 Subaru Legacy?
Thank you very much

i have the same problem with my 1997 legacy. i bought it used with the check engline light on and spent $700 tryin to fix it for inspection. they signed a waiver because of all the money i put in it tryin to fix it, so they put the stickers on my car. now my check engine light is still on and just this week my car has been stalling like its running out of gas and just keeps dying out. its the the shop now and the only thing the machine is reading is a transmission code. I really think it is the MAF. Email me at [email protected]
bought the car used, from the 1st owner, this past July 2008 and the check engine light has been on continuously. Apparently AutoZone stores can read the code problem, but there isn't one near me and I don't want to spent $100 for something that may be a $20 fix. Anyone else come across this or how you went about fixing it? The car runs and drives excellently and is in great shape for being 13 years old with 207,000 miles on it. It's a head-stratcher.
