Strange Engine Failure in '98 Legacy
nipper replied to rottenhead's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCrankshaft position sensors are the bane of mechanics as if they do not thorw a code you can never really fault them. Sometimes you have to take a shot and replace it and not be disapointed if it does not fix it.

Block heater?
nipper replied to kanurys's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey shold be available in Europe, as I have heard it gets cold up there too. I prefer the block type to the oil type. The block type heats up more surface area where the oil one basically does only the oil. The oil sits in a large pond in the bottom of the engine. Neither one is perfect, perfect is both.

Engine coolant drain plugs?
Just leave them be. They have been there happily for 300,000 miles they may not like being disturbed.

Light squeal/whistle noise with clutch?
A cutch is engaged when you activate it, a clutch is disnengaged is when you deactivate it. A clutch's puprose is to disconnect power, as opposed to connect power, since if no one fiddles with it power is transmitted as it's natural state Noises like this come and go with weather and how loud the stereo was turned up. How many miles on the clutch?

nipper replied to rottenhead's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCould be- Alarm Main relay Ignition switch. Bad battery cable Bad ground(s) Next time it happens (amuse me) put the car in neutral and try to start it. There is not much bewtween the battery and the starter on this car hence why I am leaning towards a cable ground or ignition switch or main relay. Also those would kill the car.

nipper replied to john40iowa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell if the calpiers were stuck. Rotors can warp for something as simple as the wheels being on too tight. Also if they are really hot when the parking brake is set (like from a dragging shoe). And sometimes it just happens. Were these aftermarket rotors?

Light squeal/whistle noise with clutch?
It is rattling around on the fork. This is not an uncommon noise and like I said it can be ignored untill it gets worse or you do a clutch. Tis is a miata board but just an example that it happens. You can also find it mentioned on other makes. It is an annoyance. http://www.rx8club.com/archive/index.php/t-7404.html

What evils shall we find in the New Jersey Pine Barrens
Halloween wheeling,m we will be hunting down the elusive Jersey Devil. Oct 29th. We usually aim for a 10 AM start and have lunch in the pine barrens. It ends when it ends or someone gets eaten. If the last part happens it will be on Youtube. Skill level is from drive and park to get the car covered in fine NJ Pine Barren clay. All cars welcome, and trucks, and *GASP* jeeps http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x234/nipper-dawg/NJ%20Pine%20Barrens%20March%2026%202009/ http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x234/nipper-dawg/NJ%20Pine%20Barrens%20Nov%2023/ So far it is me and NJSubaru
