Thanks for the reply. When I first checked for codes ther were none- now there are. The intake manifold has failed on cylinders one and two. I guess it was a progressive deterioration. A spray of starting fluid confirms the problem. I'm not sure why it failed since its been replaced relatively recently. Oh well! Maybe its the nitrous (just kidding!).

I've read a number of threads about rough idling, but none seem to address my problem. The car idles okay when cold, but when its hot it gets really choppy, the rpms drop and it feels like it wants to stall. Otherwise, it runs well and the idle gets better when the AC comes on or I step on the gas enough to get the revs to 1000rpm. Any ideas?

HELP! My subariu is partially diassembled and I'm stuck while trying to add a CD player. I cannot get the fascia/cover off that surrounds the radio. I have removed the screws holding the cup holder in and the two screws on the bottom (ashtray screws in earlier cars), but the cover seems pretty stuck on the passengers side where the 12V outlet is, I've pulled pretty hard with no luck. Is there a screw I'm missing? Do I pull harder?

I believe the word idiot applies to more than the dash light in this case. Shawn you are correct. The irony is that while you were posting your reply I was fishing about under the intake manifold and found the sender and its attendant wire. The sender seems to function a great deal better with the wire actually attached to it as opposed to just being in the vicinity of it. Imagine! DOH!

Help. I just swapped in a new motor for my 1996 Legacy GT and the engine temp gauge is not working. I checked the resistance and the ground at the block temp sender (single blade sensor just to the passenger's side of the alternator and this seens to be in spec. Any ideas? The manual calls for then checking the gauge with something with a known resistance (it gives exact specs). Has anyone done this? I hate to replace the gauge if its not broken. I am also considering the possibility that the ground for the gauge is bad. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am in the process of installing the timing belt on my new 2.5l motor, I've followed the recommended procedure in terms of lining up the marks etc. The concern I have is that there is that the belt doesn't seem to be all that tight on the right side, i.e. there is more slack than I would expect. Is this normal or am I missing something (other than my mind which I lost some time ago:) ).

Thanks for the info. Subie Gal your car is very nice (saw the photos in another thread). Rigfennid, you may want to start looking for a nice box. There is a tuning firm in England that sells a steetable WRX with 700 plus hp. Docile enough to putter around town, but able to 0-60 in 2.5 sec and the quarter somewhere in the nines at 143 or thereabouts without nitrous. Hit the nitrous and its good for more (about 800 plus hp). My copy of EVO magazine is at work so these numbers are approximate. I would guess these numbers are pretty close to a lot of bikes.
