The problem always occurs at the same time. About 3 to 5 minutes after start up with the temperature gauge just starting to move above the C. LIke Landshark I have to go up a long hill leaving work.
Once the car is warm there is never, and I mean never a problem.
What sensor or operating conditions are becomong active about that time?

The only issues with the SVX 96-97 OBDII monitors are they reset after each cycle. It has no affect on the ecu ability to properly store the fault code. Landshark has a 97 SVX which is OBDII and if he is getting a CEL/MIL it will help point the way to the problem. It will surely make it easier for a tech to track down the problem with a subaru select monitor. You can either keep guessing and replacing parts that don't need to be replaced and tell yourself if it doesn't fix the problem it's good preventive maintence. Or bite the bullet and TITTD.
