  1. Check out with the dealer. It might be covered by the TSB. My grandson's 2017 was. Good luck, Sam
  2. Oh and I forgot to mention that the head gasket was done at 187000 miles.
  3. I wonder if anybody is interested in buying my one owner 1992 Loyale 2wd. 197000 miles. Still driveable, I drive it around the town. I live in the area between LA and San Diego but it will make it to wherever you need to take it. Heat works. . The car will come with some extra parts (brand new front shock (one), used oil pump, brake pads). Things not working: AC (probably low on R12 refrigerant) Shift interlock (sometimes works) Driver side shoulder belt (sometimes works) Some rust holes (passenger sided fender) Thanks for reading, Sam
  4. On my 1992 Loyale my son used to honk the horn with his fist :). No surprise that after some time the horn started honking on its own. I removed the top from the steering wheel, bent down those tabs and it is fine since that. Worth to try. Good luck, Sam
  5. Turn the steering wheel all the way from right to left (there is no need to start the engine). Easier done with the wheels in the air. If the fluid level drops add more fluid. That is how you bleed the power steering system. Whoever installed the new pump probably did not bleed the system correctly. Good luck, Sam
  6. I love the attitude of @GENERAL DISORDER II - that is the way to be when you believe in what you are doing but my Camry, Accord and Loyale ALL easily reached 200, 000 miles with the cheapest oils I could buy, the factory specified viscosities and 5,000 miles oil change intervals. The only rule I have - I avoid Fram filters at any cost. My Forester is at 122,000. I may be lucky... Sam
  7. At the ECM connector try to find a wire that sends voltage to the injector and connect a test light to it. If it lights it could be a broken wire like Dave mentioned. Good luck, Sam
  8. I have bought them many years ago but never changed them. Since they were sitting in the same package I assume they all go to the driver side of my 3AT. I hope this helps. Sam
  9. I recommend you to post this question in the "1990 to present...." forum here on USMB. You will get more views and answers to your question. Good luck, Sam
  10. If you post your question in "1990 Subaru" subforum you will get more views/replies. Good luck, Sam
  11. Post the question in the 1990 generation of Subaru. You will get more views/replies. Good luck, Sam
  12. I am driving 2010 Forester since new. New alternator belt at 86000. New O2 sensor at about 100000. Broken sway bar link dust boots still waiting to be replaced. No leaks (so far) Sam
  13. As far as I remember you are correct. Either the throttle body needs to be removed or the AC compressor. But if you unplug the connector you can test in place. There is a testing procedure in the FSM Good luck, Sam
  14. 2010 Forester with 116, 000 miles. Is it possible to replace just a dust boot for the sway bar links? Or should I just wait for the links to fail completely and then replace the entire link? Thanks for looking, Sam
  15. I guess you get no codes? TPS may be acting up. Could be a poor contact at the TPS connector. How about the regular stuff: distributor, wires? Good luck, Sam
  16. Are you going to save the freon if you have any?
  17. I drive the 2010 Forester since new. I have now 11500 miles on it. At about 80000 I replaced an alternator belt. At 100000 miles I installed a new O2 sensor. That is all. Good car.
  18. I believe you need to drive a mile or two for the system to reset itself. And, of course, one of the sensor's battery may be dead as well. Good luck,
  19. There is also a sensor on top of the AC pulley that is held by one 10 mm bolt (14 mm head) and one 6mm bolt (10 mm head). Make sure the sensor is as close to the pulley as possible. Good luck, Sam
  20. No regulators or anything. The inlet hose had to be rerouted. I bought an extra hose and routed it as a letter "S". I also bought a 2 and 1/4 inch U-bolt and drilled two extra holes in the original bracket. Shoved a cork under the pump to cushion it. That was it. My main concern was the lack of barbs on the pump's tubes. I was afraid that the hose may slide off. Checked it yesterday. Everything looks fine.
