  1. position 15 is: meter and airbag indicator light, 16 is :engine ignition system and srs airbag....which one is it?
  2. what does reprogramming or letting the ECU relearn everything intail?......do i just do that idle till warm up thing and its reprogrammed?
  3. hey everyone, i noticed that my car is getting about 18mpg on average, its a 97 legacy gt 2.5, i thought this car would do alot better.....and 18mpg is mostly highway doing about 65mph (110kmh) I dont get it.....the other day i filled up the tank from about an 8th left and i put just under 10 gallons. The car is supposed to have a 15 gallon tank.....where did the other third of a tank go?.....i think the guage is wrong/broken....does anyone else have these problems?
  4. like what?....the engine light is on but it'll cost me 75 bucks to get the code i dont know where to go to get a reading for cheap im in toronto canada by the way
  5. if its the fuel pump shouldnt it happen at anytime....this only happens when in 4th gear at 3-4000rpm
  6. yeah its around 65mph i just got the head gaskets replaced and now i have tis to worry about
  7. 1997, legacy gt, auto, does it while cruising in fourth well after the shift.....clutch....should i replace the tranny fluid....it looks good
  8. hey everyone at high speeds 110+km/h my car seems to jerk/lurch forward and the rpms go up and down....it happens around 3-4000rpm. I dont know what it could be....transmission....i thought subaru trannies were bulletproof?....is it the engine or just a stupid symptom of a faulty sensor HELP!!!!
  9. is there a way to get the engine light to flash a code at me and if so where do i find the codes?
  10. its a 1997 subaru legacy and the engine light came on after driving 400kms after the head gasket was replaced.
  11. hey everyone i just got the head gaskets replaced on my car and now the check engine light is on...when i go 120km/h the car does a jerking motion forward and backward and the rpms go up and down about 200rpm......i dont know what that means.....so i was wondering how to get the beeps outof the car so i can match it up with the code to see what is wrong.....you know the diagnostic beeps? thanks
  12. hey i got it checked out and its the head gasket.....there was exhaust coming out of the rad
  13. what is this knock sensor that everyone is tlaking about and how do i know if mine is bad or not?
  14. I replaced the coolant and the thermostat in my 97 legacy.....everyone told me that my head gasket was gone on my car and that was the problem but when i did the coolant change (i put the manual stated 6 litres in but only drained 3 litres) and replaced the thermostat the temp would go up and then come back down.......i would get off the highway and get stuck at a red and the temp would go up but as soon as i would start moving it would go down again....this would happen a few times but eventually the temp would stay up and the heating in the car would not work. do you still think its the head gasket? thanks
  15. so, apparently i have to get a head gasket replacement done on my car. (97 legacy 2.5) usually if the headgasket goes it means you have to start looking for a new car. has anyone had problems after replacing the head gasket on their car? thanks
  16. hey, dealerships are brutal i used to take my chrysler minivan (yes i know its not a subaru) to the dealership and within a week there was another problem....so i decided to take it to a private shop the next time i had a problem and told them not to fix it. I took it back to the dealership and told them what the problem was...they fixed it and i then brought it back to the private shop.....turns out they had torqued bolts to the wrong pressure and didnt even tighten other things.....so i had them write a report and i took it to the dealership....they ultimately fired the mechanic who worked on my vehicle and apparently my ole reliable and totally awesome van was finished due to his mistake.(its actually my dad's van) so my dad was offered a deal (to avoid legal action) he would get 10000 dollars off a new van of his choice. try it out you never know if they are screwing you over or not
