P0183 intermittent 99 SUS
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThanks. I found it. Next question: Wat exactly is the fuel temp sender? Alldata says to replace the fuel pump but there are only two wires going to it. There is a sensor buld of some sort separate from the pump and the feul float assy. Is this the fuel temp bulb or is it the low level bulb?

P0183 intermittent 99 SUS
I have a 99 SUS and I'm having a intermittent P0183 code. The alldata diy says to pull the access plate under the seat to t/s. The problem is that I have no access plate. Anybody run into this? BTW, the problems only started when it started getting over 100F here and the car is black.

Wierd turn signal action
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe bulb socket had some corrosion on the side of the socket. Cleaned it up and it works fine. The funny thing was that it was lighting the wrong filament. The bad ground caused it to look for a ground through the other power wire. Cleaning the socket took care of it.

Wierd turn signal action
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI changed the bulb and no help. I noticed that it is dimmer than the other side. Has anybody seen this before?

Wierd turn signal action
When I use my right turn signal, it blinks more rapidly than the left ONLY when the headlights are not on. When I put them on, it blinks properly. There don't seem to be any bulbs out. Is there a double bulb un one of the housings? 99 Legacy SUS

99 Legacy - Is it worth it?
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOK. Long story short. Yanked the motor. It was easy. I took the intake off to get at the torque converter bolts. I had a heck of a time getting the rh intake cam pulley bolt off. I had to use a pipe wrench on the cam. A 1" wrench spun along with heating, freezing, etc. One of the cam cap bolts stripped so I beat on it with a 3/8 and got it off. Anyway, the headgaskets had failed. New ones went on and in went the motor. Test drive and the temp gauge was dancing. After we put on the a/c it got hot. Pulled over and opened the hood. My son didn"t tighten a heater hose clamp properly. Tightened it, topped it off and burped it. Runs good now!

99 Legacy - Is it worth it?
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhile I have the engine out, what else should be done at this mileage that I would have to yank the motor out again for it it failed?

99 Legacy - Is it worth it?
dart67eb replied to dart67eb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI bought it this morning. Motor runs good. I didn't let it heat up. Coolant all over the radiator cap and overflow area. It has a new radiator. Pehaps a good burping is in order? Anyway, I bring it home tomorrow night.

99 Legacy - Is it worth it?
I'm going to look at a 99 Legacy 30yr anniv tomorrow. 126k , auto leather, sunroof, etc but it has an overheating problem. From reading this forum, it sounds like head gaskets. Is $1000 too much to pay for it? What else needs to be done at this mileage while the motor is out? I'm buying it for my son's first car and both of us will be working on it. I'm a fairly decent mechanic and hope to teach my son a couple of things. Thanks in advance.
