[Vehicle died. Gifted a 1990 Legacy. I'm new to Subaru.]

Thanks a ton! Any advice, ideas, and offered parts are appreciated. I was mostly concerned if I might do damage to the car by continuing to drive it, or if it might be dangerous to do so.

Mikaleda, do you have your own shop or do you just have spare parts? (I have several Toyota pickup spare parts around lol)

[Vehicle died. Gifted a 1990 Legacy. I'm new to Subaru.]

We were gifted a 1990 Subaru Legacy for our family of 3. The previous owner said it overheated and leaked radiator fluid and didn't want to drive it. I checked it, replaced the $5 leaking radiator hose. Ta da! No overheating problem!

 

Passes emissions.

Drives smoothly.

Passes Utah's safety check.

Tires good.

Ac/heat good.

 

Fast forward some months...

 

I now have a check engine light that came on. I followed the directions here with success:

 

http://legacycentral.org/library/literature/codes.htm

 

It runs codes 15, 24, and 35:

 

15:Fuel injector #2 inoperative (Abnormal signal emitted from monitor circuit)

 

24:Air control valve inoperative (Abnormal signal produced in monitor circuit)

 

35: Canister purge solenoid valve. Solenoid valve inoperative

 

I have no idea what these mean, or if I need to worry about them.

 

Anyone more experienced with this sort of diagnostic?

 

Thanks so much!
