  1. I changed the axkes to try and eliminate the vibration when turning right, Still vibrating when turning right. Put my daughter's known good tires and wheels on this car. Vibration only when turning right still remains. Very frustrating.
  2. Our 2009 Legacy Special Edition with 196,000 miles has a vibration in the steering wheel/body when turning right(even slightly) at 65-75 MPH. CV boots are good. Left front wheel bearing was slightly loose, changed it. Still vibrating. Changed both front axles. Still vibrating. Tie rod ends and ball joints seem tight. Any suggestions? Could it be the u joint in steering shaft? How about the rear CV axles? Disgusted with this issue.
  3. I was driving it in driveway and it shut off with 50 mile on new Gates timing belt kit. Turns out that timing on right cam jumped one quarter turn on right cam sprocket. Left cam was still in time. Retimed cams and it runs now. I bought this car with a bad motor and it has been a curse.
  4. Thanks iriejedi. Failed tensioner sounds like a good explanation. Hate to throw out a new tensioner.
  5. Yes the ignitor is in the ignition coil. Pulled the timing belt cover. Left bank cam timing is good. But right cam is one quarter turn off. This is with 50 miles on new Gates timing belt kit and Felpro blue teflon head gaskets. I replaced the right bank plastic cam sprocket with an old 2.2 steel cam sprocket. I then checked compression. All cylinders are in the 130-180 range. Good for an old motor. The question is why did it jump time? I have replaced my own Subaru cam belts since the eighties.
  6. That is what I thought. Thanks. Apparently built into ignition coil on Phase 2 motors.
  7. Does anyone know the location of the igniter/ignition control module on 99 2.2 Legacy?
  8. Does anyone know the location of the igniter/ignition control module on 99 2.2 Legacy?
  9. Yes the crank keyway is at the bottom when timing belt mark is at top of crank pulley. The timing mark on crank pulley and timing mark on front of crank timing sprocket are then at 4 o'clock.
  10. Does anyone know the location of the igniter/ignition control module on 99 2.2 Legacy?
  11. I need to find the igniter/ignition control module first.
  12. I pulled left cam cover. Timing marks are good. The timing mark on crank pulley should be at 4 o'clock(Keyway and cam timing mark on crank pulley will be aligned straight up then) with camshaft timing mark aligned with indicator. 100 miles on new Gates timing belt/idler water pump kit.
  13. I have a 1999 30th Anniversary Legacy sedan, Automatic, AWD. It cranks but won't start. It shut off in the driveway and won't start again. Replaced coil, crank and cam sensors. I want to check the Ignition Control Module/Ignitor but can't find it. It is not on the middle of the fire wall like my 95 Legacy or near transmission resistor on right front strut tower. Where is the Ignitor? This is a 2.2 Phase two engine. One year only. Also weird is that is has no air flow sensor in the intake pipes.
