Assembled everything and it ran like a champ. Thanks

Hey there, getting to be a regular poster... sigh. Iv'e got a 97 legacy 2.2 AT and it quit while driving for the wife the other day. Went to check it out and found that it did not have spark. (checked right at the coil pack with a screwdriver) I also tried to measure voltage at the crank sensor (i was guessing that it should have a 5v signal powering it and was not able to get a voltage) so... i had it towed to the local mechanic who has just called up after letting it sit for two days and said it runs fine and is showing no codes. This same thing happened this spring and I replaced the crank and cam position sensors. So I am guessing they are fine. Any ideas? -Karl

Nevermind I found a 4eat manual and found the pic.

Thanks for the info. I'll lightly file and reassemble. Any idea on the pawl (or more importantly spring) orientation?

Hey there looking for an opinion and some info. 97 subaru legacy AT replacing the duty C solenoid. Upon removal it looks as if the transfer drum is pretty notched up from the clutch pack (i have pictures but cant figure out how to attach in the forum). I was wondering if that could keep the clutch plates from moving properly, requiring replacement. Opinion? I can send pics via email. Also when removing the tailhousing the shifter pawl dropped out as i was pulling the housing so i have no idea to the orientation. I have checked around the forum and can't find a pic or a FSM (all i can find is the manual trans). So if anyone knows anything I would greatly appreciate the info. Karl

Success! Thanks for the manual! So tracing through the wiring diagram I could see that Gloyale was absolutely correct in his diagnosis, the trouble was that both the relay and the fuse tested ok. So checking voltages at several harness points it showed that I was not getting voltage from the fuse on. So I pulled the fuse and put a jumper where the fuse should be, and everything worked. Inspecting the fuse for the fifth time I noticed that it was indeed blown but close enough that when I pulled it and measured with a meter it read 0 ohms as the two burnt ends would touch. When I reinstalled the fuse in the car the spades would hold the two ends firmly apart, but just barely. My aging eyes could not see into the window to tell that there was a gap when installed in the car. Learned something new. Oh, and I got the transmission error code 24 so I will be ordering a duty solenoid c. Thanks guys, I owe you both a brew. Karl

Checked the fusible link already. Any hints to where I could get a wiring diagram so i could diagnose?

Fuses were fine so I went and got an ignition relay. Pulled the relay (not the easiest to get to for sure) and it measured ok but put the new one in to check and I still have the problem. I checked all fuses in the engine bay panel and by the driver kick panel and everything checks out. When I apply voltage to the #5 pin i hear the fuel pump come on and what i assume is the fuel pump relay. Any other ideas... or by chance does anyone have a wiring diagram I could check out? -Karl

Gloyale, You sir are a prince among men. Supplied 12v and it fired up. If you are ever in the SW Ohio area please count on me for several pints. Any hints to ignition relay location before I start hunting through forums (i am manual less on this one), if not, many thanks. Karl

Well I am a total dip... I feel nauseous as I haven't done anything this stupid in a long while. I found the correct plug to test... unfortunately does anybody know what the orange plug is that I plugged into is connected to? and or any fuseable links that might be associated? 12345 67.89 Wires are: #1 Black w/red #2 Empty #3 Empty #4 Empty #5 Yellow w/red #6 Red #7 Aqua w/red #8 Green w/white #9 Empty

Well I was following the PDF's for reading the trans codes in the following link: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19805 I went to plug in the shorting plug into pin #5 but test plug was a different shape than what was shown in the document. The plug was orange and the wire was yellow with a red stripe Plug orientation as i did it: 12345 67..89 Well ignition was turned on and shortly after i noticed the smoke and quickly shut off the ignition... damage done. shorting plug wire was melted and now the car will not start. So am assuming I dead shorted the TCU... but if that is the case why no start? AT light now stays on constant (no flashing) no CEL engine cranks but no fire all fuses under hood and by left side kick panel ok 97 legacy 2.2 with AT Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as well as a lead on a cheap used TCU. HA! Karl
