Strange problems
EVOthis replied to C150867's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfirst and foremost i would check all your fuses (unlikely but possible)....than i would do a visual for any open exposed wires.....do you know the age or state of your alternator/ battery? how many miles on your car?

92 legacy won't start after big bump
EVOthis replied to diggler1971's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXjust mentioning what others have said.....i had this very thing happen to my 96 legacy 2.2 i was cruising up a semi-steep hill at about 60 mph, hit a BUMP and .....than the car started to sputter and it died......cranked its butt off but wouldnt start.......turns out the timing belt jumped a tooth or two ( it was a pretty hard BUMP)...... anyways good thing is its a non interference engine so no harm done....

How to bring power wire from battery to interior
EVOthis replied to eventoday's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi obviously know its not the best route for it....but when i put in my amp's i ran my power wire through the opening for the clutch cable......though there is plenty of room under there to drill a new hole...... but yes as others have said make sure the wire isnt rubbing against anything.....

EVOthis replied to rox's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXits a pretty easy job...i myself have a 96 legacy with a 2.2 and its prob. the easiest alt. i have ever done (i got a job at work today for an alt. on a 89 prelude and lets just say..... thats why i have a subaru) anyways enough of me babbling on.....if you do get the chance i would pick up a haynes manual, its one of the easiest ways to learn new things....and there only like $20......or im not to sure but maybe this site may be some help.... http://www.endwrench.com .... do a search in the archives section......

Valve Cover Replacement ?
EVOthis replied to elmwood22's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdont use any gasket sealant..new valve cover gaskets do wonders....i just replaced them on my 96 2.2......the new gasket set should come with gromits for the bolts.......i think for both sides it took me like 20 min.....its not hard.....just dont overtorque the bolts....

1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon "needs and transmission mount"
EVOthis replied to TeamPanic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi have a 96' legacy and they are basically all the same.....all you need is a few simple tools, a jack, jackstands, and a couple hours (if that) (for a novice).....i would suggest buying a haynes book for this car they are very handy ( i did my whole clutch job with that book alone).....

1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon "needs and transmission mount"
EVOthis replied to TeamPanic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXlike i said i would def. do a very thorough look over the car and make sure everything is ok...and if it is and you can replace the mount i would see no problem not to buy it.....is it and auto or manual trans?

1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon "needs and transmission mount"
EVOthis replied to TeamPanic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX+1^ it sounds like a good deal to me if that happens to be the ONLY problem.....i would try to get them to knock off the $200 for the mount.....and if you get the mount they are pretty easy to do...even in your driveway......i would get together a list of questions to ask them about recent service...timing belt, head gaskets, rust, anything you can think of....that is a good low mileage car with a great engine but it is 13 years old......

Another AC question...
EVOthis replied to a post in a topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif you can get a set of manifold gauges....its not really a good idea to use those kits because you have no way of knowing the high side pressure.....http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92649

fuel pump not getting voltage in 93 impreza
EVOthis replied to jelly man's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyes i believe there is a cluster there of 3 realys (main relay,fuel pump relay, sub fan#2 relay(if you have A/C)....i have chased problems up the wall because subaru decided to mount every other of the 5 A/C/Fan relays under the hood and this one under the dash... ....pick up a haynes manual....very helpful

2000 Outback timing belt.
EVOthis replied to 2000outback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXit prob. wouldnt hurt to do the upper and lower rad. hoses while the system is drained.....especially if any of the seals are leaking....(my cam seal was leaking pretty bad and my lower hose was swelled up like a sausage)
