My 93'Leg is acting strange ,,,i have 226K ,AT,awd,.....it has been completly dying on me. ..drivin along and then like somebody turned off the key...it will start right up again and go for wks then out of the blue it will shut off dead..

any ideas? i bought the wagon about 2 months ago haven't changed the fuel filter since i got the H2(legacy)..could this be a air sensor prob ,ive dump lots of injector cleaner in at fill ups and has worked a lot better.....Spark

Is the dying the only thing? When does it, going down the road or at idle such as stop lights and such. Does it start hard? Could be the dredded Temp Sensor (the one that goes to the ECU. Seems that one sensor causes all kinds of issues. Hopefully someone else will chime in

sometimes when i pull in the driveway to stop the idle then goes down and it kills...but most the time it's out to the blue......it was happening a lot the first 2 wks after if bought the wagon then i started using FI cleaner in my gas and it stopped.....iam puzzled on this one....

 

sounds like a number of things..from loose coil wire to the injectors needing to be cleaned ect ..

I'd suspect the mass air flow sensor. The black thingy right after the air filter box.

 

I had similar issues with my legacy. It would just lose power when driving on the highway, most of the time I could rev the engine and keep it from dieing. If the rpms were low, the car would just die.
