  1. Hi guys, I've got a 2001 Subaru legacy L sedan with automatic Tranny. Engine is gone, was driving on 1 quart of oil then the knock started and etc.. now the car starts, but dies if you'll drive more than 100 yards. I'm thinking to swop the engine. I found impreza 95' ls on craigslist, also automatic transmission. The problem is it's OBD1, is it going to matter? Is it doable or I should look for something newer? Thank you.
  2. Spider is an aluminium intake manifold that's on the top of your engine. So check if there any ground wires loose (outside of 1 or 2 cylinder I think)
  3. It's probably one of the connectors or grounds got loose, or something had happened with ECU. Even if it's ECU don't worry too much, I went on Ebay and found 2 ECU's for legacy just under 100$. You still would have to programmed it tho.
  4. yep, I had the same issues and I know how frustrating this is. I also went to talk to a dealership's mechanic but they have not heard anything about it. Five grounds: 1. Starter 2&3. Two ground wires right on the spider - intake manifold (I think those are grounds lol) when you facing the engine it's gonna be on you left ish side, and right side on the spider that faces you. They are going together, but two wires and two bolts. 4&5. Left and right chassis parts under the front quarter panels. The wire goes to underneath the valve covers from each side. I hope that's helpful!
  5. was standing in front of the engine and think what else does it needs.. and! Found two more ground connectors on the spider that were loose. Which means there's 5 ground connectors in total. Car runs great with no engine light or any other issues! Thank you guys for giving some advises
  6. Not sure what does the DLC means, also you guys think I should try to crank it from the starter?
  7. Tried to follow all the steps 3 times but nothing Er HC on and nothing else shows up. The battery is charged, key is ON and I can see all the dashboard lights, but when I plug in the scanner tool, nothing changes. When I turn the key off ( one click back) the scanner turns on but won't let me read the codes. ( link error ) feels like something blocking it from read the codes or start the engine..
  8. Can not check for codes, scanner is working with just a key in, but when switch is off it shuts off Just unplugged all the sensors, and cleaning them. Also, sprayed some brake cleaner on 3 ground places also for cleaning.. Now just waiting.
  9. battery is good, and all the fuses are good ( we checked last night ) Going to check for everything else and follow TSB, and I hope it will lead me somewhere. If there's a TSB on this problem, shouldn't the dealer fix it for free? Or I'm just mistaken?
  10. Subaru Legacy 2006 automatic Just did a lot of work on my Subaru, timing belt, water pump, head gaskets. Today put everything back, plugged everything back, all the wires and grounds too (rechecked). Tried to start the car but nope, On the odometer says "ER HC". (High Speed CAN communication error) Did a lot of research on it hoping to find something and so I wouldn't have to post in here, but literally nothing! No one fixed this issue yet except the dealers. Found some topics related to the ECU connectors and stuff like that, but no legit answer This is the best thing so far that I found and planning to try this tomorrow: http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/n9320h/2010-07-16_222648_sub.pdf maybe somebody faced this issue before and knows how to solve it? I really hope so.. Thank you.
  11. Hi guys, got a little confused with the heater hoses after putting my engine back. Not 100% positive I put heater core hoses in the right order. 2004 Subaru legacy automatic Would like to know if there any diagrams or anything like that that shows the flow from water pump to heater core and from it to upper radiator hose. If you are facing windshield, one pipe on the driver's side and other on the passenger's side. I believe Driver's side in and passenger's side out? They connect in one spot and it looks like whatever way you'll put in it will look like it suppose to be there.. Thank you.
  12. I think they are all the same.. It's 1996. That's a great website you send, just not exactly sure what to look for? Also, found DIY from Autozone for SVX! http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairguides/Subaru-Coupes-Sedans-Wagons-1985-1996-Repair-Guide/STEERING/Power-Steering-Gear/_/P-0900c152800674da
  13. Thanks, but so far it was good. It ran great, with no knocking sound or anything like that.
