SUBARU3

Couple notes: ** Yes, the power windows are operational. ** I "thought" there were 2 motors....one is in the back I know and then one to tip the glass up and down. ** This sunroof is completely different from my 1995 Legacy...that car does have 1 motor and it's up front. ** Fuses are checked and good. Will look at the switch. What relay exactly? Thanks! Todd

Can anyone tell me how the power supply to the sunroof motor is supplied? Can't find a fuse, and or relay. Rear motor is not working to slide the roof back. The front motor that tips it up/down is working. Lost and manuals are worthless! Thanks, Todd

Make sure that your pedal box/frame under the dash is not flexing when you push the pedal down. Flex can add an 1" to available cable. Flex is common and they do break if the cracking gets severe.

That's a stock SOA roof rack. Typical front fender rust. Look at the front inner wheel aprons inside the car where they meet the floor of the cowl and the top of the firewall. More pics!

I have heater cores and I have some limited parts of the steering column. (Universal joint, rag joint connector, column plastic cover, ignition switches, maybe some key lock assemblies. No complete columns though.

No problems Olnick Thanks for some tips...I will try

I have 4 (1995) EJ engines, but my 95 Legacy is the only one that when it's started cold, it "revs" up to like 3000 for just a second, or 2 immediately on startup. It then has normal cold idle and then warms up to a lower normal idle. No other issues...perfect car. I just HATE to have a cold car REV, even for just a second! The colder it is out the higher it revs. Summer is no issue. Ideas? Can this be adjusted? Thanks! Todd

I'm completely confused on starter applications. What starters are interchangeable with...(1995 2.2 automatic Impreza) I know that they need to be specifically for automatic and that Legacies are different. Are they the same for 1.8 Impreza automatic? Are they the same for Impreza from 1993 up to 1999? (or is 1997 and up different)? Are same year 2.2 and 2.5 automatics different? Thanks! Todd

It's kinda sad that Subaru cannot seem to replace the EJ22 reliability! It's like get the best Legacy/lowest mileage up to 1999 and then get the same thing in an EJ22.....do the plug and play swap and then keep it and be buried in it at some point!! LOL So consensus is that 2010-2012 is as close as I can get to a 1995 EJ22?

I'm going to dig into this deeper... I will report back! Thanks guys!

I already have a 95 Legacy 2.2 and 2 1995 Imprezas. Great cars. BUT ... I am wanted to look at newer cars for technology, style and other reliability issues. Don't get me wrong, I love the 95s - 99s, just starting to want a "change", a fresh new style....etc. So like something from 2005-new. I keep cars a long time, so I just don't want to get into anything other than Subarus BEST!

It clearly right side and it's rhythmic when throttle is applied. (bump. bump, bump, bump...speed related) Increases a lot when turning right, with throttle applied. Fades when in straight line, fades more when turning left and more noticeable when car is cold. Let off the gas...all goes away. I'm wondering if it's in the differential!

I currently have 3 1995 (EJs).....I'm there with you on that they are great. I'm looking "forward" and "newer". So from 1995 all the way to 2010, Suby engines were marginal? So the 2010-2012 engines have finally made it back to the EJs in terms of reliability? And yes....the EA71s and EA 81s just NEVER die! I have some 70s wagons too.

OK....I will open a can of worms here. I'm a dedicated EJ22 and EJ18 person, (outside of the EA71) I love the power, the reliability, the hydro lifters, the non-interference design and the gas mileage. BUT, they are starting to get old and I'm FINALLY looking at newer Subarus. If you wanted a close 2nd in reliability to the 90-96 EJ series engines, what year cars/models would you look at, new or older. Subaru of course. Why do you like that year/model? Thanks!! Todd

The ONLY time I get a knock is when throttle is applied. Never when coasting in or out of gear.

Great ideas to check everybody! I know the trans mount squeaks when it's cold. It might have given up after the axle switch.

Yes, this was the last of the FWD only models. The 1.8 is just as good as the 2.2 also. (same EJ engine). I get about 32 on the highway and about 28-30 in mixed driving. If I am 'gentle' I can break 35mpg on the highway. 2WD is so much lighter. It's only barely broken in at 75K.

Yes, that axle was an absolute BITC-H! LOL... I stripped everything off the assembly and it landed in the "recycle bin" at the curb. No the car is a Texas car and was never in a winter. I going to go over this again with a fine tooth comb.

1995 Impreza Front wheel drive only. 1.8 5 speed. I recently replaced the right front CV axle. I ended up replacing the entire knuckle, because the original axle shaft would not come out of the knuckle! NO WAY. Multiple machine shops with presses could not even do it!!! Never the less, I just got a replacement knuckle, had professionally pressed in bearings. (Not Chinese bearings) and a rebuilt CV axle. All went together just fine. NOW, I have a new problem/noise! I get this rhythmic light "knocking" from what appears to be the either the wheel area, or the tranny area. It happens mostly when cold. Happens more when firmly turning to the right with gentle acceleration. With no power applied, there is NO noise. When turning to the left, no noise either It's not the outer CV typical clicking. That is ruled out. Could this be IN the tranny? I did get a little rough at times trying to get that original axle out of the knuckle, but I was not that rough I hope! Could this be in the differential? Could something have broken with the process of axle removal? The transmission shifts and drives fin and there are no other noises. Could it be a bad rebuild on this inner CV? I've done lots of axles and this one is the first time I created a NEW issue!! Thoughts anyone?

No, I sure don't. Long time ago I had a few!

Fairtax....that make absolute sense! Thanks for that explanation and now I see why on Legacy, it's easier to do the top hose fill, vs through the rad cap.

Ahh...I found that on my Legacy....but the 95 Impreza's don't seem to have it sadly. (Both have the stock radiators).

Let me know Caboo. I have a working ashtray, but you would need to refinish it in blue.

I don't think the 95's have a bleeder screw. I will look again.

I think I have the coolant full, but I will recheck that level again. I have found that the car will not pull back coolant from the overflow during cool down, unless it actually pushed some out. So what is the absolute BEST way to burp/bleed/belch these cooling systems? Todd
