[Legacy auto trans issue-Help!]

Hey, I am back, and with a new problem with the legacy...(btw-it's a 92 non-turbo)...

 

Around 50mph the car shudders really bad going into overdrive, and you have to let out of the throttle a couple times for it to go away. It is an intermittent problem an isn't always there..

Does the legacy have an overdrive solenoid inside the trans that is known to go bad?

I am in no way trying to spam this site, so I hope this doesn't get taken that way...

Just wondering if anybody is in the midwest area, please feel free to check out http://www.midwesthorsepower.net

All makes and models are welcome and it's a really cool site to visit.

I first posted on this site about a week ago concerning a bad ECT sensor on our 92 Legacy, and from all the feedback I have to once again thank everybody over here for all the great help!

 

Thanks again,

Shawn

YEP! The Coolant temp sensor was definately bad....Car fired right up after replacing it...

 

I tested the old one for ohm's and got nothing, tested the new one and the ohm's would lower the hotter it got

 

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR ALL YOUR AWESOME INPUT!!!

I didn't put the fluke meter to it yet, but I unplugged the sensor with the car running and it had no effect whatsoever. Something tells me that if the sensor was any good, it would make the car run differently if unplugged ?

Another quick thing....The cooling fans come on immediately when the key is turned to the on position. Is this a good sign of the ECT sensor or is it the ECU going into a failure mode?

Thanks in advance,

I can unhook the battery overnight to reset the ECU right?

Thanks,

Is there an easier way to test it than to put it in hot water?

What does it take to get to the outside driver cv boot to replace it with a one piece?(removal process)

Thanks in advance,

Did this give you any codes, ?

 

Yes, the codes it spits out are:

-11-Crank Angle sensor or circuit

-12-Starter switch or circuit

-13-Cam Position sensor or circuit

-21-Coolant Temperature sensor or circuit

-42-Idle swich or circuit

Anybody know what kind of behavior a 90-94 Legacy will exhibit if it has a bad Coolant Temp Sensor?

[95 Subie Parts fit 92 Subie?]

Will the 95 Crank Angle and Cam Position Sensors work on a 92?

[92 Legacy Sensor question]

Anybody know if I can use post 94 sensors on a 92?

[92 Legacy Sensor question]

Would the car run immediately better after replacement or does the ECM need resetting?

Thanks in advance,

Anybody?

Is there any place to get these sensors cheaper than $131 and $183?

Thanks in advance,

[92 Legacy Sensor question]

Whats up, Noob here!

Anyhow, I have a 92 Legacy non-turbo...

I am pretty sure the car has issues with the cam and crank sensors.... Looking in chilton's they say you have to remove the crank pulley, timing belt cover and timing belt....Is there an easier way?

Thanks in advance,

Shawn
