I'd like to get something looked up if anyone feels like being nice?
-
no,you sure can't,especially in the snow. My honda doesn't like to go anywhere in snow.
I hope I can find another Legacy soon.
-
Yikes, a wild ride that you will remember the rest of your life. Glad you were not hurt. What is your next ride going to be?
My next ride? I want another Outback or a Legacy,I was very impressed with how gentle the whole accident was conscidering what happened and I loved that car. I have a 1990 chipped Honda Accord I am selling to hopefully make up some of the money I'll need to get another OBW.
The Honda is quicker but feels far less safe and sturdy,and it ust never felt like it "fit" me.

Long story short I was driving in to Ontario,I almost missed my exit turned in a little late,hit a patch of gravel,slid sideways,it jumped back to the other side,I almost had it back under control when I clipped a curb. The next thing I knew the car somersaulted and I was looking at the road out of my windsheild as the car spun and slid on it's roof.
Luckily these are safe cars and the only scratch I had on me was aquired when I released the seatbelt and crawled out through the broken glass.
The car was still runningbut would cost too much to ship home and fix so...it is no longer with me.

I had that happen to me whenever my battery terminals somehow worked themselves loose,could be something that simple really.

Ok,managed to finally get a obd reader on my car to check the codes I've been getting for a while,accompanying my misfire and hesitation problem.
p0507 IAC circuit idle speed higher than expected. it is sitting at just over 1100 rpm's at idle.
and this is probably my misfire
p0170 Feul trim bank one.
This is a '96 OBW with a 1995 2.2 in it.
I'd like some advice as to maybe where I should go from here,especially on the second code. Any help is appreciated.

Shallow mount definately,unless you never put your windows down the whole way.

OK,my poor Outback has been sitting without a motor for the better part of a year. Just haven't been able to find one in my busy schedule,until recently. The problem is,my Outback is of course,a manual,and the motor I've found is from an automatic. It's all the same year,but before I buy it I want to make sure that it can be converted,with parts I have already of course,to a manual from an automatic,preferably easily.
Quick answers are appreciated as I have a large trip scheduled to somewhere there is a fair amount of snow,and I'm reasonably sure my modified Honda Accord is going to do VERY poorly in snow.

My 96 OBW 2.2 5mt doesn't do too bad. One thing Subaru's have that a lot of other 4 cylinder cars don't is torque...and it's great in a hilly area like where I live.. Oh,lots of dirt roads too,or really rough roads,I can blast down those at barely reduced,or even normal speeds. Let's see a Honda do that.
-
a 96 OBW should have a 2.5 in it right, not a 2.2. was the engine swapped or is it an OBS?
'96 manual's are 2.2's,auto's are 2.5's.

Just had the 2000 OB out in the deep anow we got here in the northeast. I am in awe of how well this plows through Foot deep or more snow. I know my 98 Legacy is great, but just doesnt have the ground clearance to plow through because non of our streets have been plowed here in Scranton. I am glad to see that Subaru hasn't lost its since of dependability and ruggedness over the years and believe that this Outback would stand up to my 82 4WD wagon in the snow anyday!!!
Heheheh,I love how good my 96 is,I wnt through a snow drift that got my freinds 03 Jeep Wrangler Sport stuck...granted he is new to a manual transmission,but still heheheheh.
-
Hmm,I happen to have a mostly healthy looking 200k mile 2.2 sitting with a cylinder head off too,it's kind of interesting to compare to.
What year is that engine? The pistons look different from the ones in mine.
-
I can't tell you how nice it is to have a good vehicle back..I was stuck driving an Izuzu Rodeo,and while it's not too awful,the indistinct steering and high ride height do nothing at all for me...that and,well,it was pretty gutless.
-
There are slight differences in the nozzle type, which affects fuel flow for a given pulse length. You need to use the injectors that match up with the ECU you are using.
If your current motor/ecu uses the red injectors, you should pull the fuel rails off and swap them over to the new motor.
The other injectors will run, but I experienced very poor mileage and loss of power, which I contributed to the fact I was running richer then I should have been.
Thanks,that's kind of what I suspected,but I wasn't going to go through teh effort if there was no real difference.
That's probably what's responsible for my occasional sputtering problem.

And you'd never know a deer jumped onto the hood just a few long weeks ago.
The bumper pulled out well enough that I didn't worry about replacing it yet,I'll look for a cheaper one than what I was going to get,other than that,I am vry pleased. The hood looks so nice i think the car's set for a respray over the summer.

They both had 16s. I wouldnt call that small.
My Outback has 15's.

I have two 2.2's,one is my outbacks original,it has red fuel injectors.
The replacement motor has gray fuel injectors,is there any signifigant difference? What is the difference if any?
Would it be worth switching the red ones on to the motor in my car?
I don't miss my OBW any more.

It is in fact,and always has been,a 5spd.
