I cleaned the battery cables on a 1998 subaru forester and when I hooked the cables backup the parking keep blinking. How do I stop this problem before it kills my battery.

The hold light is probably for a fault in the HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system holds the Forester on a hill without using the brake pedal, as long as you keep the clutch depressed. It's very useful when towing.
I will check my workshop manual as soon as I have some free time and try to get a definitive answer for you.

Sounds that the magnetic pickup on the vehicle speed sensor has stopped working. Dirt or grease usually. That will cause an erratic reading. Also check wiring to sensor. Poor connection is rare but possible. Good luck and have a good day.

Check the cap and rotor for internal carbon tracking or, just change them. Also, take a look at the coil when its dark and rainy and see if there is any arcing where the coil wire goes into it.

Having the same problem with my 2000 Legacy Outback. A mechanic friend of me said there is a limited number of things this could be (in order of likelyhood): plugs, plugwires, coil, fuel injector, bad compression/valve. He said he has 2 Subarus in his shop with a rough idle and bad gas mileage and both needed new coil packs. The coil packs in Subarus has 2 coils, one for the 1 and 3 and one for the 2 and 4. Each one of those coils has two coil wraps in each. These are wear parts and eventually they wear out. He said in Subaru they usually last 90,000-150,000 miles. So all things considered, he said it is 99 times out of 100 the coil pack. I would shop it around they seem to vary in price wildly from store to store. I found one for my car for $126 while another store had it for $200.
