    Def time for the SD2. Sounds to me like your F1 sensor in shot. Not a terribly expensive part to replace if that is it. Could also be your F1 pump starting to fail which is a different story. Expensive to replace but luckily you can have a 360 F1 pump retrofitted if you have a knowledgeable shop around that can do it. I know these thing 'cuz they both happened to me. Not sure why suspension light is coming on. Could be a bad ECU or something.

    Checked her again this morning.

    Self test completed . Engine start . Suspension light on . I waited till she warmed up and checked her fluids . Low on F1 Fluid. Just barley showing on stick . Shut her off and checked her codes for giggles even though no engine light was showing . P1448 stored. Know i have been having issues in the past , but figured it was the way i was driving her so i keep her away from sitting near 3k on the tach . Cleared the code anyway. Start back up , no suspension light. Ok , lets go for a drive. Pulled out expecting to see the Gearbox light again , cause i didnt have any oil with me to fill her up . No light. Around the block . Everything seems fine . Took her around for 10 miles . Perfect besides for a rapid blinking left turn signal .

    so the best i can figure what happened its because i pulled in the MR2 next to her in the garage and she got upset. And its been turning a little chilly lately so maybe she didnt like the cold either.

    Anyway , lets hope shes stays off . Ill try driving her a little more . shes been sitting for a week .

    thanks for the info guys
