i know i forgot to say the model...99 legacy wagon anniversary model 2.2. thanks kit

good morning. i havent been here in a while. i was wondering if anyone has the procedure to remove and clean the fuel sending unit. the "chip" that the floater arm attaches to to give a fuel level reading. it was gunked up when i got the car...and i was getting a check engine light..that was 5 years ago and i can't remember the whole procedure. well it's doing it again so i wanted to take a look. i was also wondering if that particular piece can be ordered...since it was also a little worn in the middle and when it hit that area , the gas needle would just go to empty. thanks kit

hello does anyone know how to get this information...a link or something online ? do recalls expire ? or does it matter if i am the 2nd owner ? ARE ALL COSTS TO REPAIR COVERED UNDER A RECALL ?

99 Legacy Wagon 2.2. Can I Unhook Battery ? If So How Long ? Or Do I Need A Scan Tool Since It's Obd2 System ? Thanks Kit

thank you nipper kit

thanks for the info ...kit oh, by the way can i reset by disconecting battery + ? or is that just on odb1 ? don't i need a scan tool to clear it for odb2?

ok....since i'm new here...first let me thank nipper for the cordial first reply...anyyyway...car is a 99 legacy wagon..automatic...2.2. 120k miles. exhaust smells rich.{is the ecm in knock sensor "safe mode" ? }. also had an oil change recently from meineke {shame on me}....i've red some posts here on the knock sensor acting up from oil changes. problem seemed to happen right around this time.is it possible the o2 sensor is picking up the rich mix and faulting the cat.conv ? tranie only slips a tiny amount only when its cold and only for the first couple of accelerations from stopped. no noise in the exhaust..sounds tight. car slows noticibly quicker now at low speed when foot comes off gas..didn't happen before. so thats it..all this has happened pretty much at the same time. should i try resetting the ecm ? to rule out the oil change ? if i do get a new sensor..what brand ? the oem ones seem to suck from what i've read....is bosch better? ok thanks in advance to any replies. kit {not a native maine-a by the way}

Hello..got a check engine light on. had car scanned. came up as knock sensor...and catalytic conv. both seem to have happened at the same time. soooo... first..haven't had it fixed yet...is this a serious problem for the engine since i've been driving it ? second ..does cleaning the contacts on the sensor rectify anything generally...or should i just replace it ? third......is the catalytic problem ? a result of the knock sensor being problematic ? if anyone can offer any advice ....thank you first post kit
