The ECU will correct based on the O2 sensor so I would not worrry about it.

Plastic tanks are the failure point. If it overheats they seem to fail faster.

www.car-part.com They are not that bad to change. You need to drop the headliner some for access to the bolts. The wiring harness needs to be pulled through the body as you remove the hatch. When you do that on the are you are going to install it on tie a string or wire to the harness so you can pull the new one back down.

Pull the valve and make sure it's working properly and not blocked. Check the intake to make sure it's not blocked. Remove the hard line head to ERG and clean it if needed and check the hole into the head. The Knock Sensor will make it run poor, so fix that one first.

I have a spare Crank shaft gear and Balancer if you need them. Larry

The clock springs are a little different but the steering wheels interchange. I have a good steering wheel from a 98 Outback that will bolt right up. Larry

If you need a good muffler I have a few. Shipped from CO so that will be a bit. Are you running 5w=30w? Make sure you do not have a FRAM filter as well. New Oil change and some operating time will quite down the lifters if that all it is. Larry

The easy way to do it is to replace the hub bearing and all. Get a good used on and bolt it in.

That's quite a buildup. I'd run some seafoam once you get it back together. I'd just go used on the injector.

yes, the connectors are a clearish white. You most likely need the harness as well. Shoot me an email and i'll send you a picture of the unit and harness. Lmdew@hotmail.com

What took you to the coolant temp sensor? Nice fix and thanks for the info.

I most likely have the unit for you $45 shipped. No fobs. Check for the connectors, if they are not there, the harness is also needed.

Did you have the noise with the old half shafts? Aftermarket half shafts have been a problem. Larry

Well, I found out why the Subaru had a salvage title already, it was hit in the front passenger side at some point, years ago from what I can see, and the sheet metal above the frame was replaced. A nice job, as I did not notice it at first. The SRS Sensor was on by only one nut, I bet the added shock from it not being properly attached set off the airbags this time.

Did you check for voltage at the fan plug? Test it with the fan hooked up if possible by back probing the plug. See http://www.brighterideas.com for some great electrical troubleshooting training videos.

So, I pulled the system out of the 96 today, the only thing in there is the computer, driver and passenger air bags and the wiring. So, if this system goes off, I guess the computer needs to be replaced. The 98 has sensors front and back and all the associated wiring. I guess it would be better to stay with the 98 and get a new sensor and the air bags. Thoughts? Thanks, Larry

Most likely not related to the engine swap. Check that you have the brake booster vacumm hose installed correctly, there is a check valve in the hose. Then I'd move to a good inspection of the brake calipers and wheel hubs. Strange that the rest of the time braking is good with a good pedal. The fact that the brakes come back after 1 pump indicates the brake master is good. Under normal braking is it pulling one way or the other?

Thanks, I have the complete set from a 96 Legacy so I think everything will plug and play. I'll replace the bags, computer since the dash is out and the r front sensor, the one that set it off. I'll see if that does the trick. Thanks for the information. Larry

Thanks, Larry

Yes, Jam nuts at the P Brake Handle The shift knob threads on. Remove the shift boot and panel and you will see what is going on.

I might be getting a 98 Outback, the PO ran it into a barrier which tore the lower A-arm right off the engine cross frame. I've never seen that. So cross frame, A-Arm, Steering Rack and Strut if needed. The Air Bags were also set off, which is not a big deal as I have everything from a 96 Legacy. My Questions are: Other then replacing the air bags what else needs to be done to get the SRS working again? The Passenger side Front Sensor got taken out by the bumper support arm. It still looks good, do the sensors need to be replace once they are tripped? Does the ECU need to be changed? Thanks

Yep the trans needs to be lifted and make sure the bottom cover plate is not catching on the transmission.

These are two seperate problems. The Flashing AT Temp light has nothing to do with it not starting! Did you cross the fuel lines?

Sure it's the Oil Temp and and not the AT Temp? AT Temp flashes 16 times after you start the car when there's a transmission fault.

Shawn is the way to go if you want Subaru Parts. I have used many PCI - Import Expert Kits and have been happy with them. I'm usually on the 95 2.2 so its not a big deal if something fails.
