I have a 2010 Forester X Premium that I had to take the entire ABS module out of (and, of course, remove all the lines off of) to do some fab work after hitting a deer. Now I can’t get my brakes to work!!! Have tried doing hard stops to trick the ABS into cycling, have bled the brakes multiple times both per Subaru recommendation and the traditional “furthest to closest” method. All the lines running to the brakes are fine. There’s gotta be air in the ABS module and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it without taking it to the dealership and having them use their $1000 scanner to activate the solenoids. I’ve tried finding that connector under the dash but can’t find it :(. Someone please help...whose got a fix for this?

Thanks guys for the info! Seems as though the consenus is the 96 2.2 outback sport is non-interference so I think given that I'm going to forego replacing the water pump and just replace the belt and the pulleys.

I have a 96 Subaru Impreza outback sport with the 2.2L engine. I've been told this engine is interference. My timing belt is pretty cracked and needs replaced. The quote I got from a shop to replace everything is $400. I'm wondering if it is okay to replace just the timing belt and not the water pump and crankshaft seals? I know you should replace them all together but can I get away with not doing that. I ask because money is a concern so if I don't absolutely have to pay more I don't want to. Also, can you all tell me how hard of a job replacing just the timing belt is? I'm considering doing it myself

My friend took the battery to autozone for me and had therm bring it from 80% charge to full charge and the car started right up. Still at a loss as to why jumping it would work once but not again...then charging the battery worked. The battery is also newly manufactured.

No CEL so no codes to post. It's weird that it started from being jumped right before the gas station but then wouldn't 5 min later. Also, the other night when it wouldnt start it the car was making a weird noise from something on the passenger side of the engine like around the air filter...

How do I add a relay/ find out how to add a relay?

Alright guys, so...after having the car not crank or anything I played with a little wire on the starter that clips in to a contact (no idea what this is?) brushed up the contact and plugged the clip back in and the car started right away. I thought id found and fixed the issue...till this morning the car wouldnt start. Had my roommate give me a jump and it started right up. I needed gas so I had to stop and get gas and the car wouldnt start up again. This time someone gave me a jump and it sat on the cables for like 20min trying to start and was cranking but wouldnt start over. Can someone please help me...I have no idea what is going on with this car.

I have a 96 Impreza outback that, yesterday morning wouldn't start. The day before it seemed to be taking longer to turn over but was still starting fine. I had the battery recharged at autozone and that took 15min so the battery was good. All the lights come on, everything works, just no cranking whatsoever. The starter was replaced 2 months ago after a no start issue and has been working fine since. I'm hoping it's not the same issue again. Alternator is less than 2 years old so I don't think it's that. Any pointers on where to start looking? I've tried the whole drop to neutral and try to start...didn't work.

So I've just been monitoring it. The smoke doesnt always happen...any idea why that would be? Also, I don't lose a lot of oil and it only drips a few drops or so when parked overnight. I havent been paying enough attention to whether the smoke is worse after driving uphill or for long distances though I didnt have this problem till I started commuting on the interstate (1hr ea. way). My engine doesnt seem to be making any unusual noises or having performance issues. I might just leave it alone as some have suggested as I'd rather not take the engine out to fix a leak that isnt immediately dire for my engine.

I have an oil leak (maybe multiples) coming from my 96 subaru impreza outback 2.2L (268,000 miles). There was gunk and dirt and oil pretty much everywhere so to help find the leak we cleaned everything up with degreaser. After driving it around I found no signs of dripping but I am getting lots of smoke off my exhaust especially where the connector is. I'm thinking it could be a main seal or separator plate or perhaps even a differential leak but nothing is obvious so I'm quite unsure without any real knowledge of what to do next. In the last 4k miles I've only had to add a quart of oil to the car which doesn't seem like a lot given how much it has been smoking. The diff oil was slightly low as well as the tranny fluid but both within range. Any suggestions on what to do now?

I have been having smoke coming from my 96 Subie Impreza Outback 2.2L auto for a couple months now. It is white with no real smell except maybe a slight burnt smell. It is not particularly thick or cloudy but is definitely white and moderate. It appears as though it is coming from somewhere underneath the part of the engine block where the spark plugs are on the passenger side. I cant tell if it is coming from this metal housing that looks like it runs to the exhaust or from the block itself. I don't really knowall the engine parts so it is hard for me to say. Does anyone know of any "from under the car" diagrams of the EJ22 and does anyone have any idea where this smoke is coming from and how to fix it.

Ok so turns out the plastic clip on the dial that pushes a metal pin in and out was in fact broken off. I temporarily resolved this by just manually pushing the metal pin (is the cable you guys re referring to?) all the way in. Started the car up and the heat started blowing right away. The weird thing though, and the problem im facing now, is that the heat will only work intermittently. It's been blowing cold and hot for the last 2 days. Any ideas why this would be happening in conjunction (or perhaps totally unrelated) to the plastic clip being broken?

How do I check that out?

Oh Ya I guess that would be helpful. I forgot. It's a 96 impreza outback. Don't know the difference between the HVAC systems. 250k on it

Heat won't work all of a sudden on my 96 impreza outback. It was fairly warm last week so I turned my a/c on by turning the temp dial from red to blue and then the other dial from heat to a/c. Then it got cold again and when I went to turn my heat back on by switching it back over to red and putting it on heat then turning the blower on it just blew out cool air. Can anyone tell me why my heat would work fine with no problems in the past then after switching it to a/c for one day it stops working? How do I start to try and resolve this? I need heat!
