If you have no driveability issues, and no need to get an emissions inspection any time soon, you can let it go for a while. nipper

When you get a knock sensor code, its the knock sensor. The knock sesnor is a piezo electric quartz sensor that produces an AC signal (think microphone). Just cause you have no drivability issues, means that you have a well running car. Get a new sensor and make the car happy. nipper

Thats what i thought with mine till it threw a rod right threw the side of the block. Piston slap if its not fatal will go away once the car warms up. Any noise that stays needs to be investigated. nipper

Can also be a jumped timing belt. Not to many things to make this happen. How does the car sound when it cranks. nipper

Wheres the beer? nipper

Just one thing to point out, the timing belt has a mileage OR time interval for replacement. The time interval is 7 years, so they were correct to replace that. I would check for air in the cooling system first, then have it checked for a blown HG. You may luck out and it may just be an air pocket. nipper

Too much chemical can hurt things. I think your at the point of chainging the core. nipper

Well subaru being subaru, and they rarely change things, i was oping that would give me a clue. On the ebay pictures i saw the same colors and same mystery wire on the harness. I was hoping it would help. nipper

Looking at my bill for the full rebuild, what was done was a Duty C solenoid repair, where the replaced the valve housing. Thats a very good thing, that means that the AWD should give her many trouble free miles. nipper

its striaght forward, just like replacing any other brake part http://www.endwrench.com/archive/sysbrak.html this should help. The subaru system is fairly straight forward and easy to replace. Be thankful its not built into the master cylinder like some cars do. nipper

stop teasing us. nipper

Not necassarily, i would be suspicous of a knock sensor or an o2 sensor as well, so lets get new plugs and filters in there first to have a good baseline. nipper

Well leaky fuel injectors can make it go up too, but not that much. At 3 qts you would have noticed a huge drop in gas milage, or antifreeze a hot running engine, or worse case, a big paperwieght that used to be your engine. nipper

But the hazards are cheating, as they flash the turn signals. nipper

Just start with a tune-up and see what happens. i'm nt a big fan at throwing parts of the car untill the basics are covered. nipper

Thats a very accceptable idea. Its a safe thing to do. nipper

We have been having alot of sunshine, thats the problem. If we dont get snow in the next 3 weeks we wont get any nipper

WHAT! Since when do you have D/R foresters with self leveling suspension? nipper

YOu shouldnt need a dolly with a manual with a dual range. The dual range should have a Neutral between low and high. That disconnects the driveline from the transmission. nipper

I may here it going bad in this car. You may hear it going bad in this car, but the owner of the car may not notice the sound, as it slowly creeps up, and doesnt really get bad untill the bearings are ready to self detruct. And i just re read the post, and he doesnt mention anything about the calpier slides, so thats some place to look at too. nipper

I am coming into this thread late, and havent read all of it but ... There comes a time to stop taking educated guesses over the net, throwing parts at the car., and take it to a dealer and let them diagnose it. http://www.endwrench.com/pdf/fuel/FtEmissionServiceS01.pdf there is one thing to look at. Have you soaked the engine with water while its running to see if there are any vacum leaks? You need someone that can check the engine parimeters better then most of us can do at home, like the dealer. After all the time and effort that has gone into this, its time to let a dealer look at it. nipper

It probably has to do with something about them driving upside down nipper

ive put in a 5 amp. All that circuit does is send a signal to the TCU to open the Duty C Solenoid and trip the FWD light. nipper

10% Ethanol has been around since the 1980's (in other parts of the country), so no its not the fuel. Cars have been designed to run on them all across the board. There is something else wrong. Start off with a tuneup. nipper
