Wouldn't it throw a code? or is it the ecu reset that tells it that it's not really sure what's going on yet and so doesn't throw a code unless it cannot fix the problem? (Errm, that's not a very technically orientated sentence is it ). Then in this case why do we bother adjusting the TPS to get the idling voltage right? Regarding: TC locking/unlocking; My mothers SVX doesn't seem to do this though - do you know what controls the locking or not of the TC? (I suspect you're right though). Solenoid actuation pressure in the 'box too low? Cheers man Matt

Whenever I store my car when I'm overseas, I always disconnect the battery of course (so the ECU completely loses all "learned tuning"). But when I get home the car goes like a bloody rocket for the first few days and then seems to cool down a bit - funnily enough the fuel consumption only takes a slight dip. Wish I could figure out why this is... Matt

To update, cleaning the TPS apparently corrected my odd downshift problem. Hasn't happened once in 30+ miles, and I've tried repeatedly to recreate the constant throttle/light load condition that caused the misbehavior. So, on to the next thing. To anyone giving thought to doing this, there's nothing to it; the hardest part is pulling loose the stubborn breather hose to access the sensor. As someone mentioned, an "office duster" air can comes in handy. There's a small hole inside the socket that's perfectly sized for blowing excess solvent back out of the unit. Subaru gets $200+ for this part?! It's a Bakelite snuff can with a toylike coil spring and plastic sewing machine bobbin inside. Must be some wildly exotic alloy in those electrical contacts. Thanks to all. dcb |

The TC lock-up can depend on the how the throttle is used and the load on the engine. A quick tap on the throttle will bring it out of lock-up. Going up a hill will bring it out. Taking the foot off the gas will bring the TC out too. All of this while cruising 50mph or so. If you haven't tried to reset the TCU, give it a go. Is there a lot of play in drive train? After the SVX is warm-up just with the ebrake applied so the SVX doesn't move and shift from D to R and listen for banging noises. U-joints? CV joints? I can always feel some drive train backlash when I take my foot off the gas and then reapply. Along with this a slight jerking motion.

Hey if you can take a picture of the TPS. I would like to clean mine but I dont have a clue of what it looks like or where it is.
