Check engine light
Open a panel below the steering column. You will see your ECU with a tiny bulb in the center. Turn you key to ON (motor not running). Count how many blinks you have. Come back here and search for answers. Good luck, Sam

Oil plug crush washer vs. Fiber one
somick replied to charm's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSince the question was about a fiber washer I forgot to mention that on my Camry the fiber washer got stock to the oil pan after the second oil change (year 2004). It is still there! No leaks! Sam

Oil plug crush washer vs. Fiber one
somick replied to charm's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI once tried to leave the old crush washer in. It did not leak it POURED. I switched to a copper one and stll using it. Probably for 15 years by now. A month ago I bought a crush washer from a dealer for my new Forester and they charged me $1.20. What a rip off! I did not use it, because I bought another copper one. So far so good! No leaks. Sam

Head Gasket Adventure
My coolant is leaking through the heater core. But the whole expantion tank is of course too much coolant to not notice it dripping on your legs. Try to do a compression test. It should tell you the conditions of your head gasket. Good luck, Sam

Holy Cow! ... Three in a Month! ... (invisibility Paint?)
I am pretty sure that the drunk driver that crashed your garage door was driving Kia. Sounds like a Kia attack on Subaru. Let us know what you decide. Good luck, Sam

Emission hose
I will stop by and see what they have for future, but as of now it is too late to return used hoses to the dealer. Thanks, Sam

Emission hose
I failed inspection in Pennsylvania because of ... bad wiper blades!

Emission hose
I learned the hard way the difference between heater hose and emission hose: they fail my smog test with the verdict - "MODIFIED PCV SYSTEM" Could not find any 5/8'' emission hose anywhere. Had to spend 50 dollars at the Subaru dealer for three foot long pieces. I hope this information will help somebody. Sam

SPFI'd brat poor idle and pinging.
If this is automatic, check transmission modulator. Sam

timing in check...?
Open access hole under your spare tire. Rotate your engine clockwise. You will see three lines on the flywheel. Like this: |||. Line up the middle line with the mark on the housing. Check your cam marks now. Sam

EA82 Pinging
Regular channellock will do that. You will loose some ATF, but not much so be prepared to add some. The fluid in the lines will be burnt off in the engine. Do not worry about it. Vacuum is applied to your transmission for gear changes. I do not think you will be able to go far... Good luck, Sam
