New Stubborn Valves Won't Seal After Lapping on an EJ25 After a Timing Belt Break
ocei77 replied to dirty_mech's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmay not be the valves, but the guides/seals.. If they were tweaked a little in the original bending of valves, they won't seal. O.

Tachometer question
ocei77 replied to Sangerboy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXExactly which codes were in a pending state? Numbers please. Pull an injector plug. You should be getting 12v on the white wire with key in the on position. Make sure your vacuum hoses are on and whole, especially the small hose from the intake manifold to the pressure solenoid on the IM. O.

1998 Legacy Outback 2.5 Engine
ocei77 replied to Gurm70's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRelays seldom go bad. I'd make sure the ignition fuse is good. Pull the outlet line from the fuel filter. Turn the key to on, that will short cycle the pump. If you get fuel, that's not your problem. If you don't I'd check the fuel pump, Just remove the cover and the connector. You should get 12v when the key is turned on. If you do, and the pump is not sending fuel. You have your issue. Download the fsm and go down the list. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/ O.

Tire score! Woot!
ocei77 replied to CNY_Dave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI saw that ad, but my daughter wants all seasons. Good find tho. 2 years ago I bought 4 Continental Contacts in 17" with 7/8 tread for $175, but had to drive 2 1/2 hours each way (to Syracuse) to pick them. Totally worth it. Am just about to take them off now. (17" tires are not my ideal snow wear) O.

1998 Legacy Outback 2.5 Engine
ocei77 replied to Gurm70's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLook under the panel near the driver's knee. There should be a black push button/switch on wires. When the system loses power via a removed battery, once installed the security system will act up. If she has a remote, that should fix it. Go to cars101.com and look under programming remotes. Otherwise just push the button and hold it while cranking. The system will randomly flash and or lock and unlock the doors until the button is pushed. Without the remote it will act up again, unless you disable the security system. O.

important....! anaerobic sealant.....?
ocei77 replied to bgambino's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe spring portion of the T stat goes into the block side. Should only fit one way(as the oem/stant 48457 will be too long to go in incorrectly). Would only use either of the aforementioned T stats. O.

Undercarriage Rust / Corrosion normal for a 2005?
ocei77 replied to jet200's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRust is not only affected by the salt roads, but also by where one parks. Over concrete etc is one condition, but over grass/soil generates more moisture and helps rust to form. O.

Tackling the PO440
ocei77 replied to Mikevan10's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe 440 is a catchall. Most of the times, it's not a low input, but no ouput. The terminals corrode allowing very little flow or just break completely. Other times , the hose becomes loose or develops a pinhole. Inspection is the only way to be sure. O.

Having a similar issue with a rebuilt ej25d, and it's been sitting outside for about 3 mos. Sprayed carb cleaner in the intake and it wants to catch, but.... On way now to siphon the 1/4 of tank in there and put a few gallons of premium in to get it running. O.
