nope auto i ordered the switch, its external, i was telling nipper, i wonder if its the same part???

yeah i ordered one, monday but all the posts i read refer to the 5mt with this problem and i got a 4eat, is the part the same i wonder???

it acts like its stuck shut, will not idle, stalls, after a couple of restarts works again, ive cleaned it and replaced with another one from around the shop still does it any body got any ideas this is the last thing holding the car back its killing me too

i can live with this what the new problem is this code 1507 idle control valve issue new post....

i think your right

1997 legacy outback 2.5l 4eat what do you think you know i have run out of ideas

the 90-94 stuff aint going to work for ya 95 to 99 front clips are the same note the headlight comment previous you will find that your airbag and steering wheel are different from 96 up cars, so if you poped your bag you need a 95 specific one to match your wheel

they REALLY SHOULDNT COST MORE they are way more ragged out than regular cars thats all i got to say

a regular floor jack with an trans adapter on it, a couple of ratchet straps, 4 real tall floor jacks( or lift), 14mm wobble and 17mm wobble sockets will help alot at getting to main bolts and starter bolts, a real long extension(30"),, the transmission is REAL DAMN HEAVY, be carefull, and DRAIN IT FIRST a block of wood inbetween the alt and the rad will kepp the engine from rocking to far, a second jack to help with engine angle will be a great help when reinstalling leave the torque convertor attached to the transmision at ALL TIMES unbult it from the engine first and bolt it up last and dont forget the wiring, trans cooling lines and cable shifter all need to be undone too hope this helps and good luck its heavy, break your fingers heavy, trust me i know

bump

thanks for all the suggestions, will be working on it tommarow again i have been driving it as much as possible trying to make shore everything is good i have rebuilt about 90% of this car thanks to all j

i allready cleaned it, thats why im thinking the motor is bad

my scanner cel comes on code 1507- idle control failure practicly stalls, but upon restart is ok im thinking its locking up closed and stalling when it idles down

is this the motor??? going bad??? the idle motor that is??/

nope no difference, ecu next

trying tcu now

both sensors new and 3 clusters i still have a bouncy speedo????????????

and the ecu has been reset a dozen times

as long as my foot is on the accelarater it will hold at the speed im going(i think) as soon as i let off, it will drop to zero now on occasion it will hold, but not often so when i am in traffic it starts bouncing becouse im off and on the pedal seems to work the same in any gear trans seems to shift good, motor is running tops scanner is saying the fuel, exhuast, ign, all operating good all seems good except the speedo and the a/c but god only knows whats wrong with that

i have replaced both speed sensors with new subaru parts and 3 different clusters, all to the same effect, BOUNCY SPEEDO seems to work as long as my foot is on the accelerater ???????????????????????????????????? j

i dont think soo......

thank you my confidence can use the boost xxoo scrappy

ok so i got the wrong speed sensor it sounds like i did the one in the front, but it sounds like its the one in the back that is the issue im trying to find one now

my only response to this is SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK squeky squeky yup no cable that would have been nice that was the fix on my 67 buick though.....

nipper i replaced the front one, where is the other one????
