  1. So the wiring harness to the o2 sensor wasn't seated properly, hence the code. The rough idle was coming from an air leak right where the intake manifold meets with the cylinder head. I found it by spraying carb cleaner around until I found the leak. I was careful to spray little amounts while the engine was cold to prevent a fire from starting. After replacing the intake/exhaust gaskets, she is running great and up for sale finally!! :D :D

  2. hey folks. I replaced both my spark plugs and wire about 5 months ago. I just recently checked the gaps on them and reinstalled them. The spark plugs are tight along with the wires. however every so often, when I am in 5th gear and going up slight inclines, my check engine light will start flashing at me. When i get the code read it brings up a misfire in cylinder 3. It doesn't feel like its misfiring though. It only flashes in 5th gear when going up inclines. Is this a fuel injector issue? the CEL eventually goes away after a day or so. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I losing compression in that cylinder?

  3. Hello all. This is my first post. I recently purchased a 1998 Subaru Legacy Gt. I recently replaced the head gaskets, timing components, etc.. Anyways.. The car fires up and runs, however, it idles a little low and the motor has some hesitation. I recently read the code and it was for bank 1 sensor 2. When I took sensor out I went ahead and bench tested it and it was producing voltage just fine.I also checked the wiring harness and it was fine. Now my question is, what would cause the downstream 02 sensor to trigger a check engine light. Is there an exhaust leak between the two cat converters?
