  1. At just over a 1/4 tank now. I'm going to see how much gas it takes in the AM. That will give me a good idea if the fuel level is now correct after cleaning the resistors of the sending units. Thanks Larry
  2. You can have the system pressure checked. or bypass the heater and see if the leak stops.
  3. Cleaning the sensors helped but I don't think it fixed the fault. The Low level sensor light came on today, with 3/8 of a tank. It went back off in a bit. I have not filled the tank yet to see how much gas it will take. I'm going to run it until the low level light is on steady or I'm at E. I think they are wired in series as when I disconnected either one of them the tank went to E. Larry
  4. www.car-part.com shows a nice CO Rust Free one: 2002 Muffler Subaru Legacy LL BEAN,3.0L,EFI,AWD A BB001 $Call Brighton Auto Parts USA-CO(Brighton) E-mail 303-659-2965
  5. It's possible, use your old intake on the new engine. Your 96 most likely has a single port y pipe and the 91 has a dual port y pipe so you'll need a single port y pipe. The other problem is the EGR Configuration. you need to stay in the same configuration as the 96.
  6. Pulled both sending units tonight and cleaned the slip ring with a little WD-40 and finger pressure. Both read 500 Ohms Empty and O Ohms at Full. Time will tell if that takes care of it. Smooth resistance changes as the float moved full scale. No Opens. Larry
  7. You have some great You Pull and Pay Yards up by you. $250 for the engine and a couple of days of work. Out of all the engines I have pulled I only got 1 bad one. That engine I pulled from a crash free car which I usually never do.
  8. Least expensive and a good option if you can do it yourself, get an engine from a self server yard and put it in. Do the Timing belt and seals. Look for a car with significant damage and lower mileage that way you know it was going down the road. $400 - $600 Get a used engine from a full service yard - www.car-part.com $1000 - $2000 Have a Subaru Engine Shop rebuild your current engine - $1500 - $3000 Sell the Car ($800 - $1500 depending on condition) and then replace it $$$$$$$
  9. 3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza I have not pulled the unit yet, but it's kind of strange that it's reading so high. The fuel low level light does come on but it's still showing half. I'll pull the unit when I get time and clean the contacts and make sure the float is free. Larry
  10. Is your 99 the 2.5 DOHC? If so yes. Seen EGR notes in the previous post. Larry
  11. Yes, you can split them or pull the complete drive shaft and take it to a Drive Shaft Shop they will be able to rebuild it for you.
  12. If the TC is seated and in, I'd just leave it. If you've pulled the TC you don't have to change it but it would not hurt. Leave the axle seals unless you see damage.
  13. The internal filter is really not a filter it's a screen. You most likely do not have the external filter, its available from Subaru. It mounts to the frame rail and you tap into the rubber hoses. Don't bother dropping the pan, in fact most times it causes a leak. Only drop it if it's leaking to reseal it.
  14. You'll have to get under the car and check the Trans shift linkage u-joint. There are a couple of different configurations.
  15. Yes, 96-99 will interchange. Check out the Colorado Springs Craigslist - rust free CO Car $1400. Larry
  16. Don't forget to tighten the lower engine stud nut when you are all done. If you don't find a good head I have a set in Colorado Springs. Larry
  17. Load, Ground, Power. The three keys to a good electrical circuit. Check out the Load Pro. www.brighterideas.com Dan has some great electrical troubleshooting videos on youtube as well. Search LoadPro. Larry
  18. I always go the other way 2.5 to 2.2. Never had a problem. Make sure all of you connections are good if you have not done that already. I'd you have a problem before the swap? Could be a cam or crank sensor is cutting out a higher RPM. Does it make a difference if you are under load or just in neutral?
  19. Contact djmark7. I just sent him springs and top hats and he has new struts that he can not use as his strut towers were rusted out. djmark7 USMB is life! Members 181 posts NW New Jersey Sent 22 August 2013 - 10:01 PM welp spent money for naught rear strut tower rusted away from body, terminal looking for another one now, all i can spend is 1500, few and far between avail for that price
  20. If you need a TPS I have several. When you crank and it doesn't start does it have spark? You may have a cam or crank sensor going out. An oil leak at the back of the engine is most likely coming from the breather plate. The RTV fails when the screws loosen. Also make sure you PVC valve is working.
  21. Yes, should be between 25 and 29 mpg. Two fills will get you there almost three should be more than enough. Enjoy the drive.
