a couple of lighting questions
EVOthis replied to 2point2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXit is def. possible to rig the fog lights to come on with the high beams...but you could just get a set of aux. driving lights...(i dont know what the laws are were you are but here in PA if your fog lights dont go off when you switch on the high beams you will fail state inspection).......if i were you i would just get a set of driving lights if you want more light with you high beams on...... .......as for the reverse switch....what exactly do you mean its intermittent? the reverse lights are only working part of the time? nonetheless its a grey connector kind of next to the A/C reciever drier the connector is mounted on the bellhousing......to test to see if it truely is the switch....just unplug the connector and use a paper clip to jump the contacts and walk to the back of the car and see if the reverse lights are on....also check the wiring...could be a loose wire or something.....its fairly simple to change.....i think its a single 22mm it screws right in the side of the trans....(after you find the grey connector just follow the wire into the trans tunnel).

Automatic Transmission Grinding?
EVOthis replied to IdiotSavant's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwhat we do to fix loose heatshilds were i work is just take a few self tapping screws and screw them right into the heat shield.....just enough threads until it hits the exhaust pipe and you will see the heat shield kind of backing away...give it a few more turns for some tension and wola.....

when storing Subaru, whether to start up car or not
EVOthis replied to subarut's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX+1^......also if you have next to no gas it gives plenty of room (and time for that matter) for moisture to gather on the inside of the tank.....i have stored my old saturn for months at a time and have always kept the tank topped off.......but thats me...

EVOthis replied to PaulMidi's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXnot sure how it is on this year...but my 96 legacy had kind of a similar problem....it turned out i was missing my sub-fan relay #2 i believe....in my car 3 of the fan realys are under the hood fuse box and one is in the junction box under the dash.....so i would make sure you have all the realys in if you havent done that...

PCV Valve
EVOthis replied to nveilleux's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi could be wrong but i dont think i am........take a look at the throttle body from the front of the car....stand directly above it and look straight down on the left side of it....(use a flashlight) you should be able to see the hose connected to the top of it......if you can pick up a haynes manual they are very helpful.....they arent that hard to replace......i believe its a 19mm with a long extension.....
