it has been about a year or maybe two since spark plugs and wires have been changed

it does not sputter very often only every once in a while going up hill usually, no check engine light, it came on once and hooked up the black wires under the dash and it gave me a 32 which said it could be the 02 sensor, losing cylinders? that doesn't sound good :/

i have changed the fuel pump and filter, and the o2 sensor to see if it would help my problem, going up hills and pushing down the gas to keep it at freeway speeds or sometimes slower, seems to happen more often with more weight in the car, it sputters really bad and rumbles sometimes i can keep pushing the gas and it takes a few seconds and goes away but sometimes the car fully dies, give it five min or so starts back up and the rumbling is gone. so confused!!!!

ha ha makes sense, guessing carb cleaner wont work then

i pulled my maf to clean it and see if it helps i have it out but dont know how i should clean it or with what.

yeah me as well thanks man take it easy

i have a chilton man, the check engine has come on before when i have had a reoccurring problem happening but it turns off eventually so i just want to see what it might be

and what will the test mode be able to tell me? am i still looking at the check engine light for the same codes as i would for the memory recall codes?

i have a 1994 legacy wagon and was wondering what i need to connect under my dash to get trouble codes or also there is a separate set that tests as well. does anyone know what they look like or if i even have them. thanks

also when it dies it usually only does this once on a long trip then it is fine, but it does still struggle up hills. i dont know if that matters or not. thanks again

ok thanks! any other things by chance

oh ok thanks a bunch i am going home this weekend and will see. in the mean time any other possible things if that is not it

ha sorry i dont know what maf stands for :/ what does it mean?

thanks for the replys, i wish it was but yes i have replaced it and no such luck any other ideas?

i have a 1994 subaru legacy wagon with an automatic tranny, usually when i first try to get on the freeway and really push it to get to freeway speed or even just faster than 45 it gets to speed then starts to run really rough untill the engin just dies. after this i wait for maybe five to ten minutes and it starts right back up. now going up hills that are not really steep at all just constant it can not hold its speed even if on cc. it drops around ten mph then when it gets back to flat it speeds up again. now i have done basic tune up things except the 02 sensor, such as pcv, oil regularly, belts, plug wires, does anyone have any ideas by chance because this is a real downer because otherwise i love the car! any help would be really awesome thanks.

ok my automatic seat belt is messed up the metal wire that retracts the seat belt came out of the groove it fits in so now it won't do anything and there is a metal cable hanging there, i tried to wind it up manually but it wont go either way even when i was givin er all i got

that all sounds good thanks man, what can i do with modifications?

1994 legacy wagon 1. what can i do for my engine to help it run smoother better have more power because it seems a little sluggish in the acceleration department, i do know they are not that fast to begin with but still wondering what i can do. 2. what kind of transmission fluid works best and how much is needed. 3. my passenger side seat belt is stuck in the position like that door is open and there is a cable that is looped out, any ideas? here is a pic Thanks for the help

ok got that mo fo off finally thanks guys and i didn't use a torch ha

what if i use a torch to heat it up?

i have tried to lossen it with a breaker bar but it won't budge, should i just keep putting pb bolt blaster on it till it comes

replacing the cv on a 1994 legacy wagon and the axle nut does not have a cotter pin rather an indent on the nut that matched on the bolt how do i get this thing off!!!!

from what i have read napa cv's seem to be really horrible and cause more problems is this true and if so can anyone explain why i have been looking at the mwe cv's and am wondering if its worth shipping back my old cv(atleast i think thats how it works) thanks

got it figured out but it was before and after the new tires, i got all four replaced

oh ok thanks man!
