Hi Adam - Regarding number 2 (the click when shifting from Park), I believe that is normal. It does that on my 97 Legacy Lsi as well. I assume it is some sort of an interlock relay that makes sure the brake is engaged when you take the car out of park. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm stickin' with it. :-)

The gauge often drifts around, sometimes going to below "E", even when the tank is nearly full. I'm guessing bad sending unit. No clues about the cruise control? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? :-) Thanks!

Hi folks We just bought my mother-in-law's 97 Legacy LSi sedan. (2.5L automatic) It is in very good condition - only 48,000 miles on it. The plan is to do whatever light maintenance it needs and then give it to my own mother, who desperately needs a good car. Anyway, the only problems it has are: 1) an unreliable fuel gauge (it's going to the dealer tomorrow for that) and 2) a non-working cruise control. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the cruise. The fuse is good, and the light on the dash turns on. When I presss the little lever to engage the c/c, I hear a small click from down below the dash. Also another click when I disengage it. However, it does nothing. A mechanic quickly looked at it, and pulled the vacuum hose off of the pump (i think it's a pump), and sucked on the hose, and said that the hose wasn't the problem. Maybe the pump? Maybe the switch for the brakes? Any thoughts or suggestions? I'd like to get the car to 100% before giving it to my mom. Thanks!
