08 Impreza NA 2.5 MT Replaced Right cylinder head in NC. Drove back to NY State, with no issues, other than vibration at certain speeds. Was ball joints. Both pinch bolt heads broke off and had to drill them out. Once replaced, got P0500. ABS sensor. Friend has MAXISYS scanner and was able to go into the brake modules. Replaced both left and right abs sensors, in addition to the driver side axle. Codes gone, but I now have what seems to be a relay clicking. When the engine is turned to start, after about 5 seconds there is a sound that seems to be coming from the radio area. I get 4 cycles lasting about 1 1/2 seconds each. Even if I turn the switch off, after the sequence starts it will continue to the end. Removed radio and the temp control unit, but still cannot locate the source. Looking under the dash area, there are no relays there. As close as I can tell , the vibration is near the firewall. Nothing in the engine bay in that area. Will add a video as soon as I can, in the midst of replacing a phone. Suggestions???

Look here Subaru IMPREZA — Subaru parts catalog (opposedforces.com) O.

Looks good. Glad to know the carbine brass works if that should happen. I know you are happiy with the three cats and 5 O2 sensors.3

Went back over every detail and found that there were two teeth missing from the crank sprocket. Replaced and starts right up. Will test drive tomorrow.

History I have rebuilt and swapped about a dozen EJ engines since 2004. Currently have a 2008 NA impreza that has me stumped. Bought with busted block last year. Replaced short block, but alas in February the bearings started to go. Got another block from a 2001 Legacy. Of course my heads, manifold and crank. Also the 9mm oil pump with the crank sensor from the last iteration. Issue. It won't start!! It has fuel, it has air and I am triple checking the spark. I have voltage to the coil. Thought it might be a ground issue. But other than the usual, plus a few i added to the heads. It's grounded. Did the timing over, just because, but no change. Sometimes the `simplest answer is the right one, but it escapes me. Where to next?

Get the front end off the ground and holding at the sides, then on the verticals, see if you have play. Check the ball joints by prying between the A arm and the knuckle. Make sure all your lug nuts are tight. Double check the axle nut. O.

same as Subaru :::Stant 48457

Subaru Factory Service Manuals (FSM) - Every Model - USDM/EU (sl-i.net) Look up your model and year and go to the wiring diagrams, find it there. O..

PZEV started in 04. 89-93 1 94-98 2 99-04 3, etc. these are US models. every 5 years, include the year you start with I am partial to the 5th gen styling, but I like the 4th also. O.

pics of your gasket would help. O.

Lift it as you turn and apply inward pressure. When fully seated it should be out about 1/4 inch from the housing. O.

If it's leaking oil from under the timing cover it can only be the cam or crank seals. I've routinely used Fel pro for years and have never had issues with them. Can't speak for other brands. Check #4 plug for oil. Also remove the cam sensor and make sure it is not covered in oil and dirt giving bad signal. Check the crank sensor for all the teeth .

Check blowby on oil rings. After warmup hold clean paper in exhaust and see if you get oil.

Never knew that!!!
