I have the same spooky issue on my 2000 Outback but it is reverse of yours. Turn off car, get gas and supplies, total time off 10 minutes. Then check oil, it's low. Top it off. Then at work after hours of sitting check oil and it is high. It's like it doesn't drain into the pan very quick. If that the reason then how bad is it while it is running to not have oil return fast enough. I don't get an oil light. I've learned to only check oil after sitting for hours.

I just can't get it. I can't tell where to squeeze. It looks like the release is on the side I can't see facing the center of the engine. I was reluctant to put pliers on it since in the past these plastic connectors have shattered but not worried any more. I'm ready to just rip it off, buy a new connector and splice it in. For those that have got this off, is the release lever near the back end just after the wires or further up the connector. Thanx

Well I finally found a post where it talks about this. Looks like I just squeeze which I have tried but no luck. Will go squeeze some more!

Hey guys, should be simple but I can't get the plug off of the coolant sensor on a 94 Legacy wagon GT. Must be a clip on it I can't see way back in there. No on else seems to have had issues with it so I'm feeling stupid but feeling stupid still doesn't get it off. :-\ Cold start probs and it looks like this needs replaciing.

Thanx guys for the increased info. I finally got to do some testing and it looks like is is fuel related and not electrical. It is also related to how hard I corner, have done extensive testing in parking lot. I lock the car in various turn radiuses and start acelerating. It reaches a point where it cuts out. I am at 1/4 tank and today will fill it up and repeat tests. Fuel Guage is OK. Will let you know. Ahh! But fuel injection at least does not have THAT problem. While the Zero was supremely maneuverable at low speeds, its controls became heavy at high speeds, and it rolled to the left much more easily than it rolled to the right. Also, due to its float-type carburetor it tended to stall under negative gees, as would be encountered if the Zero were climbing and then had to bob back downward while remaining upright. An American fighter could escape the Zero by bobbing up, diving while the Zero's engine stalled, and then rolling to the right. Japanese writer Masatake Okumiya, author of the classic book ZERO, claimed that the loss of Koga's Zero was no less serious than the Japanese defeat at Midway.

Thanx guys. I looked into "torque bind" and while it is something to be aware of that is not the problem. I put in the fuse, got the FWD light on the dash and car still cuts off or hesitates badly on hard left turn. (all tires up to proper pressure) It does seem fuel related since I doubt amy electrical components would be affected by a hard left turn only. Right turn doesn't affect it. Will top off the tank and see if it is any difference. Tank has been lower than half while I first started having this problem.

Hello everyone! This looks like a great place to get some help with my 2000 Ouback. Suddenly I am having problems with the engine cutting off or comming close to it on a hard left turn. I have seen a reference to this symptom when i do a Google search but no real info or resolve. Car has 110,000 miles on it. Anybody know anything about this or lead me in the right direction for help. Thnx for any help.
