bork

Ok put ngk wires on & still have problem. I did change the knock sensor when I 1st got car about 8 months ago. & made sure not to put it on hump & torque down & stress it. (in other words put it in correctly) & CEL went away.(back then) About a month ago there was an o2 code that was tripping but hasn't come back for a few weeks.

Just changed plugs, all electrodes looked ok but enlarged gap. (approx.050-.055) 2 & 4 were autolite , 3&4 were ngk. # 2 well had a bunch of oil. cleaned out as best as I could. put all 4 new ngk's. Test drive & still same. Wires are blue 7mm Belden(napa?) . I suppose I'll change them next to ngk wires. Is this best, next, choice for elimination?

Sorry 1999 impreza L 2.2. I'll check replace plugs today, & then if problem still exist, replace plug wires. (I located ngk wires). I wouldn't think vacuum, idles smooth. I bought car about 8 months ago with 146k on odo. Did timing belt kit, replaced all fluids & filters.

Starts fine, idles fine, but under load going up steep hill in 1st, dogs or bogs until 2500 rpm, then feels like the dead cylinder kicks in. Also noticed from complete stop, sluggish till 2500 then instant on. Confirmed CEL light does work at start up mode. Soo if problem is plug or plug wire, would CEL definitely come on ?

Oh joy, now my daughter wants hers fixed! My fingers may not be small enough, but maybe,once apart, I can get my daughter to do change bulb. Thanks

Bookmark is ok, unless the site goes down. right? Isn't better to save the file on to your pc somehow?

I think someone is jealous of your sube!

Ok, Thanks, thats works to bring up list & I see it in there, but cant do anything with it. Normally , right click shows open & others etc... but the open is not bold , it is gray & wont apply.:-\

I downloaded(I am running mozilla) Took about 12 min. but cant find it now or open from the download file. The open is in light grey? How to save it properly? RRRRrrrrrr

I think I jacked mine up on these plates that hold the bushings, & may have bent them slightly, because it seems like I'm hearing some transfer of noise. Looking at them they look like they are not bent. Do these bushings ever fail? The drivers side seems more pliable, when I pry wishbone up & down with crow bar.

I hit bumps and sometimes passenger side gets real dim, where is this fuse at ? 1999 imprez L

They take your old core? I thought they were supposed top be new?

This is what I was concerned about. I feel like painting 4 bright yellow spots under car & printing "jack here". I wish there was some kind of aluminum block, 4"x4"x1" thick, with seam depth grove, to clamp to pinch-weld seam , to give it a little sturdy-ness. And with little diamond teeth for jack grip, or a thin layer of urethane.

Yup, you told me, but this is his 3rd post, Welcome & now you know.

For a 1999 impezza, can a remote start be installed? Or is there an OE plug & play? Are there good & bad sytems? . My brother used to have a Corolla & the thing would malfunction, & keep him from starting. Leaving him stranded.

Do you guys usually watch to see where the lift pads are placed? The factory recommended pinch welds are still the preferred spot? when a garage puts up on lift?

I jacked up rear only & hand spun wheels, with my stethoscope against each rear spring, & I dont think it is a wheel bearing. I think something is rubbing metal to metal somewhere, and transmitting sound.

:lol:All this time, I thought you guys were talking about a DIY kerosine & oil mix!

:lol:

I wanted to jack all four off ground & run in gear so I can isolate wheel bearing noise. Anyone ever do this? Where is best placement of jacks? On pinch weld seam where factory jack points are?

A dollar bill over exhaust tip will work for the piece of paper. But not sure of its effective diagnosis. The next time someone has a definite TB jump, they should try this for the heck of it to see the results, for future.

Dorman , had the split boots but I think they discontinued, but call them . I just did both inner boots, 1st time for me. Axle nuts came off with not much trouble. I wouldn't want to do outside where you are.Also, If your struts need replacing, now would be the time. BTW I called Gabriel shocks, & spoke to engineer, I asked if KYB makes the subaru fit Gabriels, & he confirmed yes. He also said many companies swap & trade & relabel shocks/struts. Cuts cost on tooling.
