  1. Went outside and it started right up again. All the might be this and could be that will make me replace all kinds of parts. We know now the battery is not the problem, its new its tight and the cables are clean. It is 3/4 full of gas and if it was not getting gas it would not start.So fuel pump must be good. We are getting spark now but not eariler this afternoon. Put brand new plugs in today as I said eariler. Coil pack must be good or it would not run. Ignitor module must be good too then right. No code or check engine light and never was. I'm lost here.The Subaru dealer will take my next 3 SS checks if I take this one in to the shop. What do I do besides push it over the hill.
  2. Is the coil pack on the 95 Impreza 1.8 the same as on the 2.2 and 2.5 or are the plug ends different ???
  3. Fully charged battery, good alt. How do you check these sensors and where do I find them ???? Car was running fine. It turns over fast and thats all. It has no spark. Cant smell any fuel. It did this twice before but got in it next day and started right up.
  4. Put new plugs gaped at 44,and plug wires. Bought spark tester from Advance and find no mater which plug wire I hook on to no spark at all. Even held wire in hand while wife cranked car no spark. Now what ???
  5. Some times it will ,and some times it wont. What size socket do the plugs take? Cant get anything I have to go down in that hole. When it starts it runs just fine. No miss, no smoke, and will not bogg out when down to the floor.
  6. Went back outside and looked under the hood to see if I missed anything,lose wire or blown fuse. I called the car everything but a Subaru. I got inside for 1 more try and it started right up. You tell me cause I sure dont know.
  7. First time for this. Ive had dozens of Subarus and when nothing else would start on the coldest days out here a Subaru always would. Its a 95 Subaru Impreza 1.8, 5 speed, fuel injected,4x4. Never had any problems,ran great. Left sit about 3 weeks and now will not start. Full tank of gas,new battery. Turns over like crazy but either no spark or fuel is my guess. This is the first fuel injected so I need a bit of help.So what should I check first and how do I go about it ??? What kind of testers do I need ???
  8. 95 Impreza 2dr coupe. Left brake light is dimmer than right. I changed all bulbs and replaced with new ones. Checked wires for bare spots and found none. Bulb sockets are clean inside. I do have a good ground. Right side brake and trunk lid break working fine. Also found when I push down on the brake that you cant see clock light on radio till you let off of it. I unpluged all 3 lights to left side and clock light stays on when brake is pushed down and works fine. What could the problem be. All other lights on car working fine.
  9. How do you get to the ashtray light on the 96 outback ? I took ashtray out and cant se a thing in there. Where is the bulb ? thanks
  10. Wanted to know what other wheels from other brands of cars out there fit the 95 Impreza and has the same bolt pattern. thanks
  11. I thought with the car being over 10 years old and with 15000 miles on it it would need new springs by now. When I had struts replaced on the wifes Outback I was told by the shop that did the work that you should replace springs when you have new struts put on. Is that just a sales pitch or do I just replace struts ? Car is bottoming out on bumps now with no load in back. How many years can you get out of the springs before replacing ??? thanks
  12. Time to replace rear struts on my 95 Impreza 2 dr coupe. I have the new springs I ordered from Subaru so now I have to buy some struts. Need you guys to let me know which one gives the better ride, the KYB non ajustable or the Monroe Sensa-Track. Maby one of you even have a new pair for sale. Let me know what you think. Thanks wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com
  13. Try your pets favorite toy and an open passengers side window at about 40 mph. Smell and pet will be gone forever. No really I love dogs.We have 6 Dobermans and run back and forth to the vet alot. Cant take em all at one time cause they would kill eachother over jealousy. Hard to keep the smell gone. I think its the hair left behind from the dog on your seats. I cover mine with a old blanket and pull it out after the ride. Havent found anything that keeps the smell gone forever.
  14. Thanks for all the replies. I will let you know which one works best. Too cold out right now to work on.
  15. Wife has 96 Outback with those plastic headlights. Every year they get worse in the winter from the salt. I tried rubbing coumpond and scratchout and good old soap and water and soon as it dries its back. They want way too much for bran new ones cause they are all one piece. Anybody know what might clean them up ??? wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com
  16. We dont have blocks or sidewalks out here so its hard to keep track. But I park my Impreza up on the hill next to my wifes Outback so thats 2 Subarus. My son and I have more fun at Wal*Mart counting how many toothless women come out the store. Try that for fun.
  17. What should I know about changing the fuel filter on my fuel injected 1.8 that would be different from changing the filter on a engine with a carburetor. Is the gas going to spray all over when I remove the lines ??
  18. Great info on the timing belt. Was just going to change mine and my parts dept guy I saw today could not tell me the difference in belts just that one had a CA and the other did not but both would fit my car. LOL
  19. Thanks guys, I will go with the Subaru parts. Belt,new seals and all. I only want to do the job 1 time. Too cold out to have to do it all over again. Then I should be good for another 155,000 miles. Also read post by rainbow123: Any timing belt difference between CA and non CA timing belt. My dealer could not tell me the difference in the two belts. You learn something new each day.
  20. Need to replace belt soon and called a few places for price of belt. About $50.00 from Napa ,$27.99 from Autozone, and Advance has a whole range of prices on the same belt.What is the difference in who you buy the belt from ? Can you tell me what you think ? Is one brand better than the other ? Thanks
  21. Thanks guys for the info on the antifreeze, Went with the 50/50 mix and changed the stat. Was easy to drain once you find the plug. Thanks for all your help.
  22. 95 Impreza 1.8 holds 6.2 quarts in cooling system. So if I put in 1 gallon Prestone and the rest water I should be set at about a 70 - 30 mix right ?
  23. Need to drain and change mine on a 95 Impreza 1.8 but can not find drain plugs for block. Is it ok just to warm car up with heater on till temp goes up turn off and wait a few min then pull bottom hose and drain from there ??? And it gets pretty cold up here so how much Presstone would I use To be safe ??? Thanks
  24. Had to change mine a week ago. Blower fan would only work on high and no air would blow through any vents. Took glove box apart to get to blower motor and found a mouse had made his home in there. He put all he could find in cage of blower motor and thats why no air came out. Any how thats where I found the relay mounted in a small metal box held by 2 phillps screws in the black cover for your heater core. One plug goes to it with I think 3 wires. Go to the junk yard and pull one.Subaru dealer wants an arm and both legs for one. Good luck
