[Legacy Engine in Forester ???]

I just ordered the front and rear O2 sensors for my 2001 Forester from my NAPA dealer. The front one did not match up at all. After a while with the NAPA Tech line it was discovered that I have a 2.5 Legacy motor installed and that I need to mention that when ordering any further engine related parts.

What gives on this one ???????

SOP for Subaru to do that ???

Spot on Perfect Thanks for all the help She Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs like a kitten now

 

 

 

I forgot to mention that the book allows a tolerance of +/- 10% on that .5 volt adjustment figure. e.g. .45 - .55 VDC.

 

It's not difficult to get it nailed right at .5 tho.

I Just Changed The Tps On My 2001 Forester.first I Disconnected The Battery Then I Changed Out The Tps And Then I Re-connected The Battery. When I Started It Up It Idled Just Fine But My Check Engine Light Came On And My 'at' Light As Well.i Disconnected The Battery For An Hour And Rehooked It Up Only To Have The Same Result. I Then Unplugged The Engine Fuses For 15 Minutes And Put Them Back In Only To Have The Same Result. When I Attempted To Take A Test Ride The Transmission Jerked When Shifting Into Gear(its An Automatic)very Roughly.

Dont Know What Else To Do . I Am In Desperate Need Of Immediate Assistance And Help On This One.

2001 Forester 2.5, automatic. I had the diagnostic done and I know now there are two. The guy told me the one i needed was the forward one by the catalytic converter? So I bought the part, bought the special socket wrench. Looked under the hood and for the life of me, I cant see where it goes. And the thing is, my boyfriend looked under the car and found the one aft, and he said it looks like the one we bought, however, according to the salesman, the one we need (and bought) was the one that goes up forward.

Did he sell us the wrong one? Or am I not looking in the right place? I have scrolled the boards, but cant find on the forester where this goes? Is it in plain view? PLEASE HELP, i am tired of the smell and crappy acceleration and my engine light being on!!!

 

thank you

New O2 sensors just came in today - both front and back . I will replace them Monday and hope that will make a difference . I will keep everyone posted on the progress .

 

 

 

 

I doubled checked everything and discovered that the bottom lip to the air filter housing (with a K & N in it) was not seated properly . I have adjusted it properly and will see if that was the culprit.

 

My forester is an automatic and the low mileage just reently surfaced.

I will replace the front O2 sensor as well so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Thanks for all the info

Hi All New member to this site

I have a 2001 Forester S w/58,000 miles. I recently did a complete tune-up with new Iridium spark plugs,PCV valve,Fuel Filter,K&N drop in air filter,and all fluids were changed to synthetic. Tires are inflated properly and no pulling either.I commute 90 miles a day at 65mph maintained for the most part and right now I am not using A/C. With all that I am only averaging 24 MPG ( .

Any one have any ideas to improve this mileage ???

I thought I would be getting close to 30 mpg

Your help will be greatly appreciated
