"AT OIL TEMP" light coming on upon cold start

SCHM1AN · 11-21-2012, 09:13 AM

Hi all,

I drove my fiancee's 03 I-OBS to work today after she told me she had some issues starting it last night. She said it wouldn't turn over for 4-5 times, then did, then it died... So this morning (cold start) the car turns over just fine, the revs climb up to about 1500-2000, then suddenly drop to around 300, and around the same time, I see the "AT OIL TEMP" light come on. The car didn't die like it did last night, but I'm wondering what could be throwing the light-- a faulty sensor? What could be the issue with starting the car and the revs falling? I'll check the battery tonight, but do you think the injectors could be clogged up? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Car is 4EAT, 90k, 2003 Impreza Outback Sport, and kind of sounds like a tractor.
