  1. So I just bought this '94 legacy today before I went to work, I got off work tonight and was leaving and got pulled over because I had no lights in the rear, signals worked, I turned off the car, well while he was standing there i started it again and all the lights worked, do you think it was because it was cold? maybe a fuse? I will look around in the morning but thought I would ask before the morning.
  2. I'm just lost with what to do, replaced the crankshaft sensor, still nothing, just cranks and cranks and once inawhile won't even crank, doesn't do anything..... I am literally tempted to haul it to the junk yard because it is just sitting in my driveway, everything I do doesn't help.....
  3. I'll try to check that tomorrow, while I was under the dash doing the connectors for the CEL I noticed a green wire that was broken, not sure what it goes to, suppose I can follow it and see.
  4. so went to junk yard replaced the ignition module for like $10, tested the ignition coil, it was good to go, what else is there to check? I haven't checked the crank sensor yet because it is snowing pretty good outside. I have checked all I can think and that you guys have mentioned, my hopes for this car is almost next to none.
  5. So I did check fuses not to long ago and fuses where good to go, I have a multimeter, good idea with the manual to order one, will it tell you how to test to see if it gets power
  6. It seems to crank normal doesnt sound fast. So I found the two black connectors and connected them turned the key on, nothing, check engine light just continue's to flash, not like a long than short flash but just constant flashing, so does that mean that nothing is triggering the CEL??
  7. sorry for late reply, was busy with work and all that good stuff, so as i stated above all the belts are good, today i went to the junk yard and got a CAM sensor and replaced mine, still just cranks, no start nothing, i have not messed with the diagnosis connectors yet. Just from experience what else could it be? I'm getting no spark, just cranks, could it possibly be the ignition crank or ignition ignitor ? not sure if you can test those, thanks again.
  8. I checked the belts yesterday and they were tight and none were broken. I havnt got a chance to look for the connector today yet.
  9. Just was looking around, so in one of the pictures it shows 2 green and 2 black connectors on the left side . I looked around and I only see 1 black and 2 green connectors should I have that second connector ?
  10. So I did as it told me to, said itd be like one long flash than one short , mine just kept flashing no long no short ,just flashing until I turned off the key , unplugged the wire and turned the key on and it was solid so it's not like it always flashes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or ?
  11. So I cut some tape and still won't reach its all tangled up in the bundle of wires , is there any way or will I have to cut all the tape for the whole bundle? And would a battery possible cause it not to get enough power to start ? I hooked up jumper cables but it could be a bad battery? And so there's two green T shaped connectors do I have to connect both to the 2 T shaped black ones ? Sorry for all the questions I've only had fords and Toyotas never a car let alone a subaru
  12. I read how to get the codes with connecting the black and green wires but it's almost like they are wired to close together and I don't wanna just start ripping on wires to try to get them loose not sure if all of them are really close
  13. So I just traded my old Toyota pickup for my first subaru , I got the subaru it didn't run the guy just told me it was the fuel pump so I replaced it and fuel filter , but still won't start, I'm getting fuel, but there is no spark I checked fuses they are good, I did some looking around and people talked about sensors maybe but I'm not sure How to test them , and not sure what else to look at, it cranks but won't start.I was going to replace the ignition coil but I thought maybe I should ask first sense it's my first subaru
