99 impreza wagon - quick question for the Subie wizards
nipper replied to chilyb56's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf its a roar its the differential, and will probably make less noise in reverse.If its a wheel bearing it will be there all the time and change speed on hard left hand or right hand turns. Also a differntial will seem to come from the ceneter of the car, as opposed to the sides. nipper

Code P0303 - #3 cyl misfire
nipper replied to alia176's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFor some reason missfire #3 cylinder seems to be the death wale of an ignition coil on subarus. I suspect the actual prblem is #4 side of the coil, and the #3 side is getting the higher voltage at the wrong time Just an idea, but i would try a coil nipper

il'd be darned it worked
nipper replied to nipper's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOK so after the first tank of gas, fuel gauge took 250 miles to get to E. before treatment it was 100 miles (usually 280 for the light to come on). It seems ive picked up 2mpg (keeping in mind my car had 184K on it and probably never got an injector cleaning) and the idle has smothed out. :banana: nipper

top speed limiter? Why only 112 mph
nipper replied to sc850r's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyes because the awd needs the VSS sensors to operate. Also there is a readline limiter nipper

have money to spend what should i buy
nipper replied to seanski06's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXActually double clutching is becoming a lost art. Learn how to double clutch and there isn't a thing you cant drive. It's handy whem armageden comes, your the only one left, and thay out of town is a 1971 deisel school bus or a 153 john deere farm tractor nipper

Fairly simple part can keep the car from running. i keep one in the car just to escape murphies law after having them go bad in the past. nipper

After Water Blasting The Carbon... Less Slap.
nipper replied to blitz's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGM is also facing a lot of lawsuits on piston slap, so i really wouldnt trust GM on this explination. Carbon buildup after 15,000 miles is prettymuch BS. GM's pisotn slap is rather loud and doesnt always go away. Subarus has been explained and most the time can be lived with (everyone with over 150K on thier enigens and with slap raise your hand). Subaru if you stand your ground will fix it, where as GM seems to be telling its customers to take a hike. the only thing i can think of is that the thread here is that he truly has ping, not slap, then the water method woprks well to get rid of carbon nipper

Just purchasad a Legacy and I have a few questions...
nipper replied to Kilroy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyes the temp sessor can make weird things happe. If tou are positive the transmission is over filed, what color is the fluid. there are two ways for it to be over filled. the first is, well, somone over filled it. The second is that the coller inside the radiator is leaking. Usually the fluid gets pumped into the radiator since the tranny pressure is higher then the radiator pressure. My bet is that it was overfilled, and all the fluid you see under the car is the excess fluid being puished out. Have the tranny oil changed and the temp sensor replaced and we will see what happens. Soobys dont usually leak fluuid by the seals. It is also possible you have a pan leak. nipper

top speed limiter? Why only 112 mph
nipper replied to sc850r's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe car has two VSS sensors and a tachmoeter. The limiter can read any combination of those three items and figure out how fast you are going. nipper
