    So if oil pressure is lost,do they shut down for safety reasons?

  12. 2.2 Ghost Codes

    rocketman replied to jkast's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    I don't think so, it must be from 2.2 engine only, reread entire post.

    When you did compression ckeck,did you put oil in cylinder to see if compression was up? You may have bad rings or cam lobe.

  15. FIXED! Bad Neutral Switch Assembly causing HEAVY engine breaking

    rocketman replied to YnotDIY's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
    I think sticky brake,maybe get out and see how brakes are. I use a temp gun if you don't want to burn your fingers.

    rocketman replied to xdeadeye1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX

    rocketman replied to Supernoobie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX

    rocketman replied to 3Pin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    I like the body style,but the big dawgs here are saying bad rod bearings,uncomfortable seats,bad window motors,and switch's,also carry less weight,and ordering parts can be a debaco.
