Hi, Yes, I did post this question on Car talk as well. Sorry, I did not get a chance to find the exact location of the sensor. And it seems the procedure is complicated on getting this replaced. Are there two level sensors on the tank, one main sensor and one sub sensor? I have downloaded the diagrams from the 1stsubaruparts.com site and it did not reference any temp sensors but it has two level sensors. It seems one is the wiring(main) and one is the sub (attached to the fuel tank). I don't have the shop manul to compare to so I don't know if this is correct or not. It seems this might be a trip back to the dealer...

The code reads P0183, fuel temp sensor. Autozone did reset the code however, the CEL came back after 45 minutes of driving. And they don't have the part other than getting it from the dealer. I tried to find the part near the fuel tank but no success. Is the evaporative emissions system look like a "black box" behind the right rear wheel? I'll look at the trim panel tomorrow.

Thank you. I have changed the fuel filer and spark plugs on it and thought CEL would go out but it has not. I'll take it to Autozone to double check the codes. To be continued...

Finally, I have found a site dedicated to Subarus. Hi all. I have a '00 OBW with CEL on. I've taken to the dealer and they said the fuel temp sensor is bad and needs replacement. My questions are what's involved to getting it replaced by myself and is there a diagram or procedures on the web that I can follow? I have parked the car in an unleveled ground, front on concrete and rear on grass, and the CEL went off. However, it came back on when I drove the car for five minutes on the road. This puzzled me. I don't think the ground level could affect the sensor's working condition but could it? And 2cents is appreciated.
