Well after changing the plugs and air filter, it don't seem like it helped a bit... It still starts out very sluggish. Im at a point where idk what to do. The motor has 163,000 miles on it and i hate to keep adding money into something that is never going to run as it should. I paid 1000 for the car and it's the GT limited, the interior is mint, power everything and leather. The body is in good shape, but im starting to think that the motor is beyond help. I do love the car and how it looks, but is it worth my time and money to swap the motor out? I can get one with less then 30,000 miles on it for about 900 bucks. Is it a hard swap?

Just picked up the plugs today and i ordered the wires for it, I'm doing the plugs now, talk about a pain in the butt place for them lol

Well, i just got back from autozone and here are the codes 463 170 440 400 325 301-304 ( all four cylinders ) 9 codes in all It still didn't overheat at all though and that was a good 40 mile trip... It was still sluggish off the start though until it seemed to "warm up" for about 10 seconds....

Wow, thanks so much already guys! I stopped and got gas, so i figured i would pull the fuse, i didn't notice any difference, but i just might not be sure of what "torque bind" is. I haven;t noticed any leaking yet, but what i have noticed is then when i start to take off, its real sluggish till around 25-30mph, then it's fine, but other then that, i haven't noticed it heating up at all and i just drove it nonstop for about 30 min. The check engine light is on, so i'll take it to autozone tonight and get the codes. Thanks a bunch everyone

This will be my first subie, so i don't know much about them... Ya, i hope it's not the head gasket too, I did see that there is a fuse in the FWD under the hood, maybe it was put there to save on gas, idk.. i'll have to check it, ive drove it a few miles and it hasn't overheated on me yet, so idk. I would like to get the gas gauge working though, going by miles would be a pain. Thanks for the help, so far

Ok, I just picked up a 98 Legacy GT sedan, I LOVE THE CAR, but it does need some work, First off the gas gauge don't work, the check engine light is on, the guy i bought it from said it will overheat from time to time... etc But for the price, i couldn't pass it up, cause i have always wanted one!!! Also, How do i get it from FWD to AWD? lol Any help with some of these problems would be great, Thanks Bruce
