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.

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 $$$$$$$

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

Is your 99 the 2.5 DOHC? If so yes. Seen EGR notes in the previous post. Larry

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.

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.

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.

You'll have to get under the car and check the Trans shift linkage u-joint. There are a couple of different configurations.

Yes, 96-99 will interchange. Check out the Colorado Springs Craigslist - rust free CO Car $1400. Larry

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

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?

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!

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.

Changed out the O2 and Temp Sensor! Thanks for the info. Larry

Data sent, thanks, Larry

Yes, should be between 25 and 29 mpg. Two fills will get you there almost three should be more than enough. Enjoy the drive.

two speed, at speed.

As far as I know it's the original cat and my be the original O2 sensor. New NGK plugs and good plug wires. Might have a good mid pipe for you, but I have been welding them as they crack around the welded joint in the mid pipe.

Either should be fine. Not that much of a difference. Make sure you get Subaru or NGK plug wires.

NOx passed, but I'll double check the EGR is opening. The old DOHC engine the HG were completely gone, dumping coolant into the oil. When I filled the radiator to get the car home, when I started it water shot out the radiator cap about 15 feet into the air. First time I ever saw that. I'm guessing the OP over heated it for a long time. I'll check the O2 sensor and see if the plugs look rich. I do have a spare CAT I could put in if I need to. Thanks, Larry

See new post, failed emssions.

It runs great. I pulled a trailer to Denver and back to get a frig. No CEL. A friend took it up to Denver for a relative and it failed emissions. I did tap into the IAC hose for the EGR pipe as the head could not be drilled. 95 2.2 with 155K on the engine and 320K on the car. HC GPM 1.0038 - Limit 1.2000 Passed CO GPM 41.6271 - Limit 15.0000 Failed CO2 392.0529 NOx GPM 1.0090 - Limit 2.0000 Passed Could the EGR Bypass be causing this? Thanks, Larry

Import experts on Ebay have good kits for $120 or so. All Idler pulleys, Belt Seals Re-seal the Oil pump and locktite the oil pump rear cover screws, new oring when installing the pump. Once you pull the timing covers you will see what's going on.

Those are in the center counsel area. You might just have something stuck in the retract reel. If its done, just grab a used one and install it. The window is most likely just the switch. Easy enough.
