  1. That tells me the system is too lean on bank 1. Matching the code to the book number tells me fuel that fuel trim malfunction, air/fuel too lean. All well and good, but what does it mean? Do I- check injectors, sensors, what? Fuel delivery? Fuel pressure? Pump? Any help would be appreciated.
  2. One Lucky Texan threw me a thread on a fuel pump issue between the metal cap and the plastic pump body separate and the o-ring spits out under pressure. This happens because the transition between the metal cap and the tangs that clamp on the plastic start to split thereby losing clamping ability. What I did was slide a hose clamp down over the metal and plastic pump body. Then I tucked the o-ring (gently) back into place and clamped a wide jaw woodworking clamp on the two pieces and squeezed them together again. When they looke right, I slid the hose clamp up over the three tangs and tightened until the tangs were gripping the molde plastic extrusions again. Released the woodclamp,reinstalled the pump and she fired up after the lines were primed. I don't know how long this fix will last, but I'm rolling for now. Muchos Gracias to One Lucky Texan and all who chimed in with things to check on. I am really grateful to you all. peace
  3. Wow! Thanks for the new direction to look in. I will be working on it (again) today and I'll let y'all know what I find. Thanks again. Peace!
  4. Hey Folks, I have an '01 Legacy L model 2.5l 5 speed manual with 145,000 miles on it and it quit on me while driving home last week. A month ago I changed the fuel filter and the fuel in the OLD filter was clean. So I replaced the plugs(NGK gapped to .040,) and wires(Import Direct) 3 weeks ago and it was running strong. Good fuel mileage,too. I had 200 miles on a fresh tank of fuel(been driving on it for three days) when it quit. Okay, simple stuff; checked timing belt, seems fine. Checked for spark at the coil pack, all four terminals good. Checked the new fuel filter(just in case) clean and clear. Put a scanner on it and got a knock sensor code. Swapped it out and still no go. I put a multimeter on the coil, got some anomalous readings(cheap multimeter), so I swapped the coil pack out for a new one,jic. Still no go. I've got a half tank of gas still and I can here the fuel pump pressurize the system when the key is on. This thing cranks strong, it just won't start. I be befaffled on this one. Help?
  5. Hey Folks, new here but an old Subie guy from back in the day. I have an '01 Legacy L model, 2.5l, 5speed manual. It quit on me at about 1800rpm on the drive home last week. Cranked fine, no start. 200 hundred miles on a fresh tank of gas. 3 weeks ago, new plugs and wires(NGKs gapped to.040, Import Direct wires). New fuel filter 4weeks ago(old filter gas was clean out both intake and out). I had an intermittent code for knock sensor and replaced. Checked for spark at the coil pack, good in bright sunshine. Got a multi meter and started checking resistance on the coil pack.SEEMED like 1and 2 primary were bad, checked secondary resistance, again, 1and 2 SEEMED bad so I replaced anyway. Fuel pump cycles fine when key is on. Removed small timing belt cover on left side of engine and lined up timing belt marks on that side( all good) and observed while cranking( again, all good. Still no start. Have checked EVERY sensor connection in the book, all good. Ideas? Critiques? Anything would be helpful. Thanks.
