Is this right?

you need the switches, any relays involved, the motor that actually works the throttle, the computer, depending upon year the vacumue pump, and depending upon year the speed sensor. nipper -

Actually that started in the 80's and all car makers do that now. Its cheaper to make one wiring harness for all cars then individual harnesses for equipment levels. you may need some sub harnesses but all the major stuff is there. nipper -

[quote name=dhoch14 1) How many miles are too many? Since I've never owned an Soobie' date=' I really don't know if they have the reliability like a Honda or Toyota have. Based on my research I see that lot of the early 90's legacys (2.2L) run for -eva-. What kinda maintenance needs to be performed on a 100k vehicle? Cars101.com seems to have the regular stuff, I am more worried about failures (ie water pump, o2 sensor, etc). Should I just assume I will need to replace these items soon after purchase? [/quote] I dont think any of us have hit the too many mileage part yet. 100k you need timing belts water pump cam seals main seal reseal the oil pump tensioner fan belt Then you are good for another 100K. Last time i had it done i paid 650.00 Also check the car to nmake sure all the tires match, and do a tranny flush. nipper

ebrake ??
nipper replied to fnlyfnd's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
Its inside the car, in the handle. its a simple cam and the cam may have overtravled and rotated (common when in need of adjustment). The second applictaion reset it. You do know your ebrake should only go up 5 notches, more then that its out of adjustment. nipper -
there is no such thing as fool proof, if there was there would be no need for americas funniets home videos. Original question. Refreigernat does not go old. Rubber o rings do. 90% of the time a leaky o ring is the cause. Also new refridgerant is not as good as freon, so it takes longer to cool a car down, and feels really poor at idle. nipper

not that i WOULD ever do this myslef, not not me im an angel (with horns).. Its been told that when riding a motorcycle, if one carried a few balls from the internals of a cv joint, that an offending motorist would get the hint to respect motorcycles and thier space really quickly when they need a new headlight or radiator. They would'nt bounce high enoug to hit the windsheild, but just at nose height. not that i would ever know about these things first hand:rolleyes: nipper

There is a liftime warrenty on seatbelts, though i dont know if that is the mecanisim or the web itself. On the stuck belt the little counterwight is jamed. On the other belt it sounds like the return spring is broken. You can get units form a junkward and have your mechainc out them in for maybe 1/2 the cost or less. nipper
