Hey,
A couple of times over the past week my 1998 Subaru Outback has stalled when shifting down gears, when I restart it, the speedo doesn't work and it sounds like it's missing.
I've pulled over and turned the engine off then back on and it fixes itself right away.
I got codes P1507 & P1540.
The P1540 is the speed sensor and I researched that and seems fairly straight forward to replace.
P1507 is Idle Control System Malfunction (Fail Safe). Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be for this.
Could the fact that it happened both times when slowly down and shifting down gears give any clues?
Also I haven't got time to fix it just yet, is there any problems with continuing to drive it for a little bit more before fixing it? It hasn't done it for a few days now and it seems to be idling fine and the speedo is working fine.
