ok they got 2 codes. po 325 which is a knock sensor code and po 420 which is the cat converter apparantly. what do you guys think? is the knock sensor anything serious?

thanks, ill ask them to give me a list of the codes it pulls up and see if you guys have any advice on it after that. it makes me feel better that other people have been told that too.

im going to go look at a 98 forester for sale. The girl had the engine replaced at 94k cause she was on a long trip and forgot to add oil. it now has 150k on it. the engine was replaced at a dealership. so now the check engine light comes on. she said shes been taking it to the local dealership and they say that some of the foresters have a glitch where the CE light comes on and nothings actually wrong with it. they say this is the case with this forester. im gonna go have it checked out by the dealership today before i go and buy it. has anyone heard of this before? is it common? also any thoughts on the new engine and what i need to watch out for when buying a 98 forester...besides cv joints of course. Thanks,

ive been trying nasioc. their are quite a few people on nasioc from their but no one seems willing to go down and take a look at it even if i pay them. Ive even posted on craigslist classified

I found a subaru i really really want at an awesome price. I live in Utah and would have it shipped out to me tomorrow if i knew it wasn't gonna break down on me the moment i got it out here. (its happened to me before) If someone lives near 9820 Parkway East Birmingham, AL 35215 and could go check it out and preferably take it to a mechanic (on my dime) I would pay them. ive done a ton for people on usmb and im hoping that now the favor will be returned. ANYONE?

no check engine light. i will try change back to stock and see if it changes at all. has this ever happened to anyone?

hey guys, i have a problem. my car will just completely lose power at no particular time or gear. The car and electrical do not turn off, but the rpms go down immediately right in the middle of trying to speed up. (i was merging into omcoming traffic yesterday from a stop and pulled out only to completely lose power with a huge truck barreling down on me, fortunately he was able to swerve out of the way, because he was a ways back when i pulled out.) i recently bought a maf adapter and put a haf filter on, but i don't think that would cause this problem. any ideas? i don't particularly want to die anytime soon.

I am purchasing a 96 outback (manual) this week with 99k. Is there anything specific to this year and model that i might need to know. (besides the usual stuff, timming belt etc) like anything going out earlier than its supposed to?

I have an 84 gl wagon and when I drive it the volts go way up when the rpms are high. if there is such a thing as a regulator could that be it? I also took out the alternator a few weeks ago and thought it could be the tension of the belt? anyone know what it could be?

To: coloradosubarurules if you like fj40's, my family has one that has been completely redone and extremely packed with sh** and still has a little classic FJ feel to it. they have finally realized that they will never recoup the costs of all of the stuff on it so they are taking reasonably low offers on it but not advertising it. if you want to know more pm me.

so get this, My battery died and I had to get someone to jump me and after that,,, It just started working??????? whats the deal with that? is it my battery?

hey everyone, I just bought a 98 impreza and its factory cd player worked just fine for about 2 days and then quit. I haven't been able to get it to work since. The stereo/radio still works just not the cd player? any ideas

in that case I would be willing to pay someone for a trade (: ha, (i'll probably have to find one wrecked at a junk yard, but if it was totaled, it would most likely have taken out the front end.) I have a feeling it might be a very long time before I find one.

I want to put the 2.5 rs style hood (hood scoop and vents) and spoiler on my 98 impreza L. Would a hood from an rs fit on an L model? and if it does is it likely that ill ever find one? Also would a spoiler from an rs fit on an L model?

I am buying a really awesome black 98 Impreza 4dr sedan on thursday and I want the RS looking hood and maybe the spoiler. does anyone know the how, what, where and possibilities of that are? Its has WRX rims on it and someone painted the rotors red,,,looks pretty sweet, im so excited. one weird thing about it is,,,the rear bearings, and rear sway bar need replacing, why would the sway bar go out? luckily im getting it for just under 4k because if the replacements. and since im getting a new subie im going to be unfortunately leaving the older generation club and fortunately joining the newer generation by selling my 84 gl wagon, the only reason anyone would want it is because it has the origional chrome rims, brand new 195 tires, and the engine has new heads and stuff. so be looking for it in the marketplace next month.
