New ambient air temperature sensor fitted then did a reset on the ECU and the car is running the best it has done for years...............2 weeks and no issues

It went to David Hendry cars in Malmesbury.........funnily enough it ran ok on the way there!!........they could not find anything obvious when checking and driving it.....the only thing they are looking at is the outside temperature sensor was reading 9 degrees out.......mine read 3 and 3 other cars when they checked all read 12!!........I am going to fit a new one and see if that is the cure......fingers crossed.

I have found one, so it is going in tomorrow to be checked.

I live in the Cotswolds, do you know of a specialist in that area or one that you could recommend?

Thanks for the welcome and advice, I was considering a Terraclean which seems all the rage at the moment to see if that helps...........the car has been doing this for nearly 2 years but it would go months without any issues. It is only in the last 2 months that it seems to only last a week to 10 days before needing resetting again....it drives spot on after the reset

Hi, I have a Forester sg5 2008 with 134k on it, the car is fab and easily the best car I have ever owned.......sadly though it has started to play up a bit. For some reason as yet unknown it just does not run properly.........I have had to reset the ECU 3 times in a month. It drives great for a week or so then it will not pull cleanly from low revs......it seems as if the engine is being held back. I have had to take it to my local Subaru garage who could find no fault codes, the only thing they did find was the knock sensor was reading slightly out of parameter( it was changed but the problem came back ) the car has had a new MAF sensor last year and coil packs from a car with 20k on the clock last year. I have cleaned the throttle body recently. Has anyone experienced similar and did they manage to sort this out??
