heheh for future refernce, porked is usually how you describe a gauge thats been over pressurized , hence broken. 10 pts on the bannanas nipper

er um wow bananas Yes, though it may be easier and cheaper in your case to get a used tranny nipper

. sounds like the previous owner porked the AWD unit. Its a sealed unit in this car. DO measure the tire. You may get lucky and that can be the source of the problem. Maybe its caught early. nipper

but that was before the bad o2 sensor nipper

Yes sometimes the plunger pops out of the solenoid. im sure somone else will chime in with a better explination, its happesn a few times a year here. Look on the outback board too. nipper

ok here you go. Its a simple system. You either have a bad relay or solenoid in the system. YOu should hear a click when you have the car on, foot on the brake, and press the gear shift button. If you dont there lies the problem. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46496&highlight=Key+Stuck maybe that will help http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7763&highlight=interlock nipper

Check the universal joints in the driveshaft. nipper

You have to measure the odd tire. Tires can vary in size from brand and mfg within the same size. Measure the circumfrance. The drivetrains last, if you take care of them. Parts do wear out, thats normal. Nothing lasts for ever, otherwise they wouldnt make replacemnt parts. nipper

o2 sensors dont last for ever, they wear out in time. That would have been the first thing i changed, along with a tune up. But thats just me :-p Another possability is leaking fuel injectors or worn fuel injectors. Also dump a can of that fuel additive that guarentees passing. I dont like them, but after three tries its time. nipper

Changed it after the third test or before it? nipper

Jump the thermoswitch, its should start the fans. If it doesnt then you need to look at the fan or the relay. nipper

Then a bad left fan motor, thermoswitch or relay. nipper

What were your counts exactly? nipper

The brakes are in the mail? Thats a new on one the check is in the mail :-p nipper

Poked a hole in the tank .... silly nipper

VSS the car goes into FWD and shuts down the AWD system. nipper

And change the oil after a car overheats. Just good insurance. niper

Time to decode that, but it will say Duty C electromechanical failure. nipper

yes. SLipping belts. nipper

Oo someone in SD besides my nephew .. may ill skip ND all together. nipper

How old are they nipper

YOu can drive with thew FWD fuse in. It will save you a major repair in the awd units. you wont hurt anything. nipper

Have you done the basics? Do the tires all match, equally worn with 1/4 inch cirumfrence and properly inflated? Put the FWD fuse in the holder and see if it goes away. Have you ever fully flusged the tranny? nipper

I thought that was on loyales. He has a legacy. I get so confused on these years and who is who :-p nipper

Green connectors are always diagnostic on soobies. I cant tell where the other one is, as it may be some sort of diagnostic connector. It sure looks like a scanner connection (ABS Airbags etc). nipper
