martini Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've got this 97 Impreza OBS, and I've been trying to keep it running. Recently replaced the tranny, and that part of it is running fine now, thank god. Problem now is I have a vacum seal thats been corrupted. The nipple is busted off, so fixiing it now is important. I found it after having the car limp home in gimp mode. I tried to do a fix up job w epoxy, knowing its a botch fix, and is only temporary. What I need to know is, what the part is, where I can get it, and how difficult is it going to be to put the damned thing in. It location in under the passenger side intake(?) or it could be the manifold. What ever, its on top, under some stuff, and I gots me big hands, so I'll have to take stuff apart to do it myself. Or should I just take it to a shop and have them do it? follow the majic link for photos: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=10204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I believe its the Canister purge solenoid valve. Thankfully they fail fairly regularly so dont feel bad about breaking it. Theres going to be a part number on the side of it when you get it off. Just use that to order a new one. No need to take it somewhere its easy with a 6" extension and a 10MM socket to remove from the rear side of the intake. Just 1 bolt and 2 vac lines.
