Rooster2 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 A good looking ride! You sure have addressed the problem areas on the car. Do you have a grill to install? I would hate to hear that a rock got flipped into your radiator to cause a leak. The grill would prevent that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubaruJawn Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) i see in Tom's Post he got Forester springs for his Legacy. would those lift my outback ? so would it make difference on my outback ? or could i just put 90-94 legacy wagon springs on ?

johnceggleston Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Starting issue fixed. more to go Problems needing fixed are: Speed-o Some times works Gas Gauge Slow and some times drops to E Rough Idle but drives fine. any have knowledge fixes ? the speedo is a known issue in the 99s, replace it with one from a different year. i'm pretty sure a 98 will work but you better confirm that. gas gauge is a known problem as well. a bottle of techron fuel system additive may help. but mostly you just live with it or buy new replacement parts. the tank has 2 senders, one on each side because of the rear drive shaft. they get dirty and just don't work like they should. mine is the same way, but techron helps and the light still comes on with about 2 gallons left so i just use the trip meter and the light. rough idle could be anything from plug + wires to o2 sensor. when was the last time you replaced the plug wires?? use subaru only!!

SubaruJawn Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 ok. if i replace it then mileage would be off. but then i could roll it back to the actual mileage. hmm Techron Fuel Additive.. I'll try that. it works 70% of the time but i still want to fix it so i know how much gas is left. I'll check those censors. i thought it could be bad ground. plugs and wires are new. said the previous owner. o2 ? hmm i didnt check that. i just got the car Wednesday. Thanks for the Info Greatly Appreciate it. the speedo is a known issue in the 99s, replace it with one from a different year. i'm pretty sure a 98 will work but you better confirm that. gas gauge is a known problem as well. a bottle of techron fuel system additive may help. but mostly you just live with it or buy new replacement parts. the tank has 2 senders, one on each side because of the rear drive shaft. they get dirty and just don't work like they should. mine is the same way, but techron helps and the light still comes on with about 2 gallons left so i just use the trip meter and the light. rough idle could be anything from plug + wires to o2 sensor. when was the last time you replaced the plug wires?? use subaru only!!

987687 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Rolling the mileage back or forward is really easy. I had to do it for my '96 legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic23 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cool i saw this one on craigslist....glad it went to a member. Hey yall thats the ac condenser there behind the grill the radiator is safe and sound. I have a grill if you need one. The spedo is a 99 only problem and a 99 only part.. I have a 99 oBW and have installed 3 spedos in it...ALL FAIL. Trying to figure out a fix involving a different year. 95-98=2 wire 99=one wire Mileage is easy to reset. Come to Columbus and ill show you and we can put a grill in so people won't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm it really helped me. When my Outback randomly misfired on the freeway, the service technician who diagnosed it recommended I run Techron fuel system cleaner/additive. The gas gauge was slow as hell, and after running a full tank of it, I noticed the fuel gauge moved at a more accurate rate and moved faster upwards after fill-ups. got the new windshield. $79.50 total yet to put in. (tomorrow maybe) Best of luck to that! I heard that installing a windshield is a PITA though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to get a bottle or can of that techron fuel system additive. not if I'm not doing it my neighbor works at safelite auto glass. he is taking an hour lunch so he can do my windshield off the clock. $50 for him to do it. i cant beat that ! when i do it i finish busting the windshield out. i have done it before. i told him that what i do.. he shook his head No.. you don't do that creating more work for your self he sais. so hopefully today it'll be in.

mdjdc Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Nice car. The speedo issueis a problem with one of the contacts. Open up the back of the speedo and you will find one of the solder joints bad. Just resolder it and you are good to go. One of my friends had the same issue and she fixed it very easily. As far as the gas guage goes, try the techron. If that doesn't work let me know and I can send you the secondary sender out of one of my parts cars. Known good. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Run NGK Plugs and Wires - they are of the same quality and less then a genuine part. Buy a Genuine PCV. Clean out all the Air intake hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdjdc Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The easiest way to get at the plugs is to unbolt one of the motor mounts and jack up that side of the motor. You will then be able to get your socket in there for removel and reinstallation. Not a fun job, so use the good NGK platinium plugs. They are rated for 100K so you won't have to do them for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
