EVOthis

im assuming that you have 4 headlights....2 high beams and 2 low beams.......i would check for power and ground at the headlights sockets but going off what your telling me it sounds like a switch problem.....

thanks frag....i will def give that a try tomarrow.....appreciate the response

does anyone know what year they stopped putting the FWD fuse holder in Subarus?......

so i was taking a look at my 96 legacy today and i had it up on a lift and i started shaking the passanger front wheel to notice any movement....i noticed a little movement when i grasped the wheel at 6 and 12 oclock and gave her a shake....enough movement that you feel it but you cant really see it.....i also grasped the tire at 3 and 9 oclock and i had NO movement there....the ball joints are good and the tie rods are good.....i did take a look behind the wheel and i notice NO movement where the axle meets the hub when i give her a shake.......i notice no noise when coming from there while driving.......my question is how much movement is considered "normal"?.....i dont belive its my wheel bearings....because i dont hear anything........any help would be appreciated......

i was reading about it the other day..its really amazing some of the things they changed...i think it was at http://www.cars101.com

well not that it doesnt do harm on anything but you could always throw in the FWD fuse if its an automatic......... i remember in the late 90's it was by the shock tower and i think they moved it to the fuse box on some models.......by the way does anyone know what year they stopped offering the FWD fuse holder on Subarus?

excellant suggestion.....that would be the outback to get......little more power.....dual timing chains i believe which dont have a scheduled replacement interval.......and the sporty logo H6 3.0.....

http://www.subarupartsforyou.com i know there are a few other sites but i cant remember them......oh http://www.1stsubaruparts.com

http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/VarNov06EW.pdf ......might be of some help....

sucks about the gas mileage with AWD.....but it sure makes you smile when you have 8 inches of snow of the road and drive right by that FWD honda struggling to get moving after a stop light........

yeah there pretty neat.......they have like sets that you can buy from Snap On or MAC but i think they make you sign something that says you wont go stealing peoples cars....or is that for the lock pick set.....

every suby has been AWD since 1997........the 4WD era was mostly the 80's and they didnt have an outback at that time.....so it must be AWD

dont forget PCV valve...only a few bucks and often overlooked....

man you would know if the starter is still trying to engage....it is the worst sound in the world......the starter is acutally trying to keep turning the already spinning flywheel

im not exactly sure what years this took place on but i believe it started in like 97 or 99 and it might just be on the 2.2 L....right after startup there were some noises coming from the engine because of new internal componants that subaru considered normal with no fix available.....what kind of engine is it? does it ONLY happen right after you start the car? does it go away when the car is warmed up? Is there a certain RPM range were it occurs?...........is it a grinding? tapping? knocking?

oh man!....looks like he has some serious work to do....ill bet he got them for a steal though.....

thats great...it looks like you solved your problem......if the PCV was that neglected im sure it wouldnt be a bad idea to clean out the IAC a little bit...

yeah my bad forgot a letter here we are..... http://www.autopartswarehouse.com

give http://www.autopartwarehouse.com next time i bought a front axle from them about 20k miles ago and havent had any problems yet....knock on wood.....

well has the car ever stalled when you were driving? or is it just a no start condition when you come out in the morning to go to work?

that is awesome bluestone..i read part of the artilce..do you know if that thing was even street legal? would be nice for today with almost $4 gas prices

usually when it clicks and doesnt start or crank you could have a dead spot in the starter...keep in mind that im trying to help you on solely what you post here so i could very well be wrong......

along with the... water pump timing belt head gaskets clutch kit (with new clips for the throwout bearing and a new pilot bearing) i would do...... cam seals cam cap orings front and rear main crank seals reseal the oil pump valve cover gaskets reseal oil pan new tensioner and timing belt idlers reseal or purchase metal updated seperator plate

here we are....i had the same problem on my 96 legacy manual trans though.....heres the thread on it...... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83952

so the car doesnt crank at all?....do you hear a click or anything when you turn key?......
