98 Legacy 2.2 with auto trans.

Not Ready code on my scanner for Evap. The actual code was on for evap, but I cleared it, and "not ready" stays on according to my scanner.

 

I have to depress the gas pedal to make it start in the morning.

After filling the gas tank on the way to work, I actually have to "pump" the gas to start it, and depress the gas to keep it running, or it will stall before I put it in drive.

 

Any suggestions???

If you are going to tell me a sensor needs replacing, please describe to me where it is

It sounds like you're having two different problems.

 

You're getting a code for the canister purge solenoid, which is part of the evaporative emissions control system. Also, it sounds like you're coolant temp sensor needs to be replaced.

 

The coolant temp sensor is located under the passenger side intake manifold (brown colored connector one)

The canister purge solenoid is in the same area, except mounted to the intake manifold (blue connector)

The coolant temp sensor is about 20 bucks, the purge solenoid 60-80 bucks. I recommend www.subarugenuineparts.com

 

Did your reader give you a code number or does it just say EVAP?

I will have to look through my spare parts box as I have left overs from the original motor. Before I turned the core in I took all the sensors I can find.

 

Yes it did give a code which I cleared, don't remember what it was, but it was for evap.

 

I have a snap-on scanner with the import package.........still learning how to use it.

 

Probably won't get back to this thing until the weekend.

 

I have an EGR code up too, but that cannot be fixed due to it being a motor which came without an EGR, installed in a car which originally had one.

 

I actually can get away with two "not ready" codes to get it through inspection, but the trouble starting problem just developed recently, and I would like to solve it before it really becomes an issue.

 

Occasionally the car stalls as well, but does restart.

It stalls when letting off the gas after pulling away from a light, then having to back off.
