Valves are bent. Probably all of them. Sounds like you're on a budget with more time than money. Tools and free internet education is cheaper than a mechanic You can often return tools after use - the various auto parts stores do this on purpose to get you in the door to buy parts (not required that you purchase any parts though). Amazon and ebay sell complete valve sets CHEAP - never had an issue with any of them if setup properly. Get HG's from Subaru ($150 for both). Get an Aisin timing kit and some cheap fluids. Unless you keep all the tools you buy (or hopefully you already have some of what you need). this can be a $500 repair. Or if you go to a shop and get the heads rebuilt and a new short block from Subaru because it's old and burns oil, etc then it can easily be a $6,500 repair. GD

Disabled! Thanks.

You would have to consult the network diagram but virtually all "modules" are on the network. Some things that are modules are not obvious - like the entire gauge cluster - that's a module. Everything down to the electronic parking brake has a module. The more advanced diagnostic tools have moved to an interface that shows network "topology" so you can see all the modules laid out sort of in their network diagram. The Thinkcar tools are popular for this: As for "A" - no it likely won't point to anything unless it's a very advanced vehicle that has more than one network. Not likely in this case.

M finally decided the old Impreza wasn't worth fixing. Compression had gotten so low the car would roll in gear with the engine off. In a way this is the one that started all of our Subaru off pavement adventures after I hit a deer over a decade ago. A little disappointing it didn't hit 300,000 miles. Certainly the most entertainment per dollar of any car I've ever owned. inside of the gas tank: Some of the parts we scavenged. The main things I wanted were the wheels (and tires), shifter/console (although most of that doesn't fit my '98), and the front axles and knuckles. The knuckles had been upgraded to the bolt on wheel bearing style and it had the big front wheel drive style axles. We considered removing the transmission (since it's the older style 5MT with the top inspection plate) and a few other things but had to draw the line somewhere. That left us with the question of how to make it roll. The simplest/cheapest idea I could come up with was to weld a tube to the bottom of the control arms (they're kinda rusty and I already have a few pairs of good stock ones). Then I welded some short pieces of tubing inside some space savers to act as hubs. These weren't centered or anything but it was just for getting the car out of the garage and on the flatbed. "hubs" were retained by tack welds. Gave us some hot Carolina squat action. Don't worry we kept the chrome lug nuts and only used a couple old rusty lug nuts per wheel to put some crappy tires on the back. M specifically told the tow company they should come with a flat bed but they didn't. He insisted the guy look at how poorly the "front axle" was attached but the guy was unconcerned. Put the front end on a dolly and dragged it out of town. Frightening. A day or two later when I unloaded the parts the one taillight still had plenty of blinker fluid in it. Have made some progress on the green Impreza too. Will try to post a few pictures sometime. Unfortunately I've been busy with other things. Mainly buying a building to move my machine tools into. In the long run that should be great but it's kept me from finishing the Impreza.
