Timing marks missing on crank sprocket?
1-3-2-4 replied to 987687's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat freaked me out because the FSM for my model and year said I should of had the metal cover above the crank sprocket.. Did they do away with it or something because I did not have one too and I had a MT.. And what good does it do anyway?

Replace oxygen sensor
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI never knew they had a older for it.. Also someone should add some feature here to let other members know what year you have typing it over and over is a pain (not directed at you) I will try the sears site just that the nearest one is like 40 min away. The sensor I will be getting is a Denso. Oh and my car has 2 '95 legacy wagon

Clutch smell when AWD is engaged?
1-3-2-4 replied to capewaveride's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI had to search deep for this but I have a 1995 Legacy L wagon 5MT and I noticed it too myself when I had to push my friends car from the parking lot and when I got myself a bit stuck for about 5 min. Smells just like a slipping clutch but it's not and does not linger as long.

Replace oxygen sensor
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSo i'm looking around here I'm not sure a oxygen sensor would last 236K but nevertheless I have to think that way.. I did not know it was possible to snap them off? I need to get some more penetrating oil but I wonder how much work it will involve. Also it may not be stock because the wire to the sensor seems to be a bit too long.. it was long enough to rub on the inner cv axle and I caught it just as it was wearing away the outer shield cover. For the tube wrench I was thinking a pipe wrench but that does not seem to be it at least looking on google image search.

Is my alt going?
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSo home now and about 3 weeks ago I cleaned the battery terminals and the posts for the cables that picture btw is old back during the fall I did not take one this morning since I was in a little rush but I did check the output and again it was showing fine.. I sat in traffic and turned on my loads again and it was fine :-/ And the main power panel are you talking the box with the fuses in them? I wish this damn snow would all melt so I can start doing work. It can't be the ignition switch since turning things on like the headlights and hi beams and blower on all causes odd idle issues and a drop of almost 500 rpms.

Is my alt going?
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwow I just had the issue again but this time that wire was wrapped from the alt output.. I noticed when driving to a friends house one of my headlights (HIDS) went out.. and I thought ok.. I did not bump the switch.. So I dont think much of it.. So as I drive home and pull in my head lights turn off and my head unit (Alpine) restarts as if you are just starting the car up.. And i'm like what the hell? So I pull in my space and I turn my blower speed to 4 and sure enough my idle dips, radio restarts and my headlights go off for a split second... I check under the hood and the wire is still wrapped.. So I turn the car off and then restart it and try again with everything on and it does not do it anymore... At this point I'm about to call it a day and just replace the damn alt.. I mean it was a reman anyways when I got the car but it's something I need... I don't think the weather would have an issue on this?

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXproblem is the last person that I took my car to (well known nationwide shop) took my brand new bosal center pipe and wielded it to my muffler.. I still got it down in my basement it was a friken mess. And what's $50-60 my gasket was no place near that amount

Cold Idle Too Fast
1-3-2-4 replied to Bluestone's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like a dirty idle air controller I had the same issue here until I cleaned mine.. If you do go that way make sure you have a new gasket on hand.

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAnd about what I expected but not expecting the gasket just like burnt away... with it gone the whole exhaust got misaligned.

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXheh it's late night I should of noticed but I missed a few hours of sleep lol I have a question for the gasket for the center pipe to the muffler do they use some sealant on that? When I did change the exhaust from the stock to one from a 2.5 GT I again had a slight fitment issue I had a tiny gap with the gasket (subaru gasket) but I noticed when I took the old one off it had this like orange looking sealant.

PCV Disaster!!!
1-3-2-4 replied to axgutt's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell I just ordered the PCV plastic part and the fat hose that goes from the motor to it but not the two other hoses.. I hope I will be able to get the piece that snapped off from inside it. My car idles fine just my gas mileage has gone down the tubes From a full tank to a half a tank I only was able to get about 96 miles.. I I know it was snowing for those few days but still that's like what under 16 MPG right? This is my first order from subaruparts.com so i don't know if they hold the whole order up for one part that's not in stock or what.

Intermittent Wipers 95 Legacy
I know the newer models have replacement module stalks but I got curious because looking on rockauto they have the whole assembly (don't need it) and looking up close they have the turn dial for the front and Intermittent for the rear.. the front is not big deal but it would be nice for the rear instead of having to keep switching by hand.. Has anyone ever tried switching them out?

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXcrap I ordered another donut gasket from rockauto (it was cheap) it's a auto parts international one but it's way smaller then the dealer one I have in my closet it can't be right for the first cat to the center pipe? i've got a huge exhaust leak now which is getting annoying. As soon as I fish the dealer gasket out of the closet I will put up the picture and I take it back it's the 2nd cat that's starting to rust out and I'm going to guess because of it not flexing.. at least it's not as critical as the front having said that the concave part of the gasket faces the catalytic converter right? looong time ago when I picked up the parts from the guy (2.5 GT wagon 1999) everything fit OK but the donut gasket (P# 44011AC000) never made a good seal at all and you could see the gasket turning around in circles with the exhaust flow. I was wondering did anything with the piping change? Because it all looked the same.
