  1. I believe the car has the 2.2 in it,  although I can't tell from the marks and distinctions people told me to look for.  The metal plate with the VIN and Engine type said some letters then 22 and continued with letters so thats where I'm getting its a 2.2 from.  The check engine light was on and I posted the codes in my previous thread I had made.  

  2. remember we can't see or touch the car, good description is key.

     

    any check engine lights?

    does the transmission light flash 16 times at start up?

     

    i don't know what "go up like a granny driver" means.

     

    when you say it won't rev up do you mean: 

    the engine RPM's won't increase?

    or vehicle speed does not increase?

     

    when it accelerates does it ever stumbled, hesitate, or make noise?

    Check engine light is on yes,  the girl i bought it from said her dad was a Subaru mechanic and said even when it was reset it would come back on.  Trans light does not flash at all.  When I mean rev up I mean like it will pick up speed and such just not get up and go like you want it to.  Once in a while it will hesitate for a slight moment but no noise or stumbling.

  3. I bought a 98 Legacy Limited Sedan recently.  Car runs great as well as shifts great.  Not totally sure which engine it has but its probably the 2.2L.  I'm not a car buff so I'm trying to get a opinion as to what or if there is a problem.  Sometimes when I go to get on the gas to get up and go it seems to not wanna rev up and just go it will go up like a granny driver.  Car idles smooth and everything so curious what are things Subaru pros might think
