19impreza95 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm sure you've covered this a thousand times, but I can't find it. Hard start problems, bla bla bla. Occording to the Chilten's auto manual it should be "on the side of the radiator" but I've spent hours looking all over that engine compartment and still can't find it. I also read a bunch of post here and didn't find any specific to the 1.8 liter impreza. I'm at my wits end. The more specifate you can be the better. Pictures would be brilliant too. Thanks a lot Samson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 There a coolant crossover tube below the intake manifold, It should be screwed in to the tube on the right side of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19impreza95 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Do I have to take off the intake manafold to get to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Do I have to take off the intake manafold to get to it? No but it's a little involved. Start at the PCV valve, go down from there and towards the front of the engine going under the passenger's side intake plenum and you'll find it. It's screwed horizontaly towards the front of the engine.You'll have to put aside some vac hoses and some wires before getting free access to it. Takes a socket with extension to remove it after disconnection. A small amount of coolant will seep out but since's it's pretty much on top of the engine, noting to worry about. You could lower the coolant level by an inch or two if you want zero leak. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19impreza95 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ok, I'm going to go look for it right now. But just to clarify. it is NOT the sensor sticking out verticaly right by the engine code, but around in the area screwed horizontaly into the "side" more or less of the engine. Here goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes Not sure I understand what you mean by «right by the engine code» and no it's not screwd into the side of the engine but goes front to back (connector is towards the fire wall and threads are towards the front of the engine right under the driver's side rear intake manifold plenum. You get at it from the rear. Also take into account GLCraigGT's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 picture is worth a thousand words http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2477.JPG It's the brown connector sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19impreza95 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thanks a ton legacy777! I don't think I would have ever found it with out that picture. Frag thanks a lot too. the whole time I was looking right where you told me and it was correct, but the wire harness seemed to converge right over the sensor. I furgured it was connecter to the radiator pipe ontop, but since I couldn't see it I didn't want to start taking things off till I new where it was. Thanks again Samson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
