EJ22 Idle and Intermittent misfire underload
lmdew replied to 1980ea71Brat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX|P1101 SUBARU code description Neutral Position Switch Circuit High Input (A/T) Neutral Position Switch Circuit Malfunction (M/T) Yes it could be causing your idle issues. I've done a few Auto Manual Swaps and the ECU needs to have a good signal. You said this all started after the filter change. Did you do anything else? How long was it running well?

Removing CV axle
lmdew replied to awdonry's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey are pretty easy to rebuild yourself. As far as the outter threads, I've taken several that were mushroomed from beating them out and put a taper on the end at a grinding wheel. They stick out about a 1/4". As long as most of the notch is still there to stake the nut into you are OK.

What is this little button/switch thing under the dash?
lmdew replied to jeffroid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSecurity system reset button. Turn on the key and press and hold the button until the system resets if the alarm went off. If you want to test it. Unhook the battery. Wait a few minutes and then hook the battery back up. The alarm will go off. Blinking light, horn if it has on....

Removing CV axle
lmdew replied to awdonry's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've removed the inner CV Joint, to reboot an outter that would not come out. A pain to try to clean out the old grease out of the outter, but you can do the best you can and then add new grease and a new boot to the outter. The inner can be completely cleaned and regreased and a new boot installed and then put it back on the trans. Got to do what you got to do sometimes.

Removing CV axle
lmdew replied to awdonry's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've had them rust so tight I had to change the knuckle. Put a large drift on the end of the shaft. Keep the nut loose but on to protect the treads. After soaking in PB Blaster of some other oil give it a good one. Pin punch to mark the top alignment bolt. Then remove it and loosen the bottom bolt. It will allow you to tilt the knuckel enought to remove the inner CV. You can then get the otter joint out of the hub.

Overheating, radiator fans question
lmdew replied to jeffroid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey do have the testers to see if there is combustion gas in the coolant. It's not 100% but another indication. Sometime HG only leak under heavy load when hot. Watch the temp gauge. Subaru's most often sit just below half way. They come up to temp pretty quick and then stay there. Same position all the time. If the temp gauge is going above normal you have a problem.

Overheating, radiator fans question
lmdew replied to jeffroid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYes the temp sensor is on the crossover pipe on the top of the block. It needs a full system to read correctly. Where did the fluid go? That's the important part.

Overheating, radiator fans question
lmdew replied to jeffroid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just replaced a fan on a 99 Legacy. The 20 amp fuse was blown. The one at the top left of your picture. I put a new fuse in and the fan worked in low but blew the fuse as soon as it went to high speed. I put a used fan in and it works great! Check the radiator fluid level to make sure it's full when cold! Pull the radiator cap. The car I just worked on for a friend was almost empty. It took a gallon of coolant. I did not find any leaks. I suspect it was overheating and pushing the fluid out the overflow bottle. It's a 2.2 as well. It has a little black oily scum in the overflow bottle. When I see that I think Head Gaskets. Time will tell. 212K Auto Trans.

Towing UHaul trailer with 2013 Outback 4cyl
lmdew replied to craigmcd's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI told the family many times if it does not fit in the car it's not going. Yes a good size trailer not the best. I have pulled many a car dolly with a Subaru in tow with the drive shaft disconnected. They were all under 2 hour trips.

lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAuto Trans. All codes but the Knock Sensor cleared and have not returned. the P1507 came back once. More miles and the new Knock Sensor are needed for sure. Thanks

99 Legacy 2.2 Auto - CEL 1507?
Friend's Daughter living on her own sent a text the other day. Car dies. Did it several times. I told her to come on over. Well it took way to long. Turns out it died several time, started smoking. I asked what the temp gauge was showing. I got a pic of it pegged. I eneded up going down the road with coolant. I filled the system, it took almost a gallon. No leaks noted. We drove it the last mile to my place. I pulled the codes: P0325 - Knock Sensor. I tried several of my used ones but code keep on coming back. Ordered a new one. P0116 - Coolant Temp Sensor - lack of coolant I suspect P0420 - CAT Effiency - Car has 212K on it so it's not much of a worry. I reset these all the time. P1507 - Idle Air Control. I cleaned the valve, the seal ring looks good. Also added fuel system cleaner. The P1507 came back, I've checked the vacuum lines and connections. They look good. Any thoughts?

2017 Forester oil dipstick will not go all the way down, oil tube is not bent or deformed - front end deer impact
lmdew replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDid the dipstick tube pull up out of the pan? It's just in there with orings on the bottom of the tube and the bracket and bolt at the top. Worth a look.

- Aging eyesight ? Are those tiny fuses hard to see ? 2006 Legacy
lmdew replied to moosens's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThose bulbs go out often. Friend had an 06 Impreza. He changed the bulbs and then a little later in the year the lights went out. He had enough. He sold me the car, it went to my brother in Wisconsin. He still has it. It was the bulbs.- 9 volts on Tribeca- can a bad battery cause low alt voltage?
lmdew replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHope you made it.- 9 volts on Tribeca- can a bad battery cause low alt voltage?
lmdew replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck all the connections, clean and tight. Load test on the battery. Have the Alt Tested.- Poor Acceleration after oil and trans fluid change.
lmdew replied to Julian Rodriguez's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAll good suggestions. Also make sure the IAC hose coming from the airfilter box is correctly installed as well as the vacumm lines on the passenger strut tower! 1+ for comments from leagion.- Oil Consumption '14 Forester (I know the Usual Problems, Not Looking for an Explanation)

lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSpent some time in the yards on Sunday. It's a base Legacy Sedan. He hit a deer - hood, headlights, bumper, grill, radiator, AC condenser, fans and timing belt covers all needed. We pulled the radiator support. I pulled all the mechanical parts and a good hood. Still hunting headlights and the supports. He may have to go to ebay or www.car-part.com. So it goes. It will be back on the road.- 2008 Legacy Sedan Front Bumper and Headlights vs 2005 - 2007
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNope, would need to swap everything forward of the doors. Outback has a higher hood line at the front. Swap Hood, Bumper, Grill and Headlights. All could be done but at a costs. Love those 95-99 Subaru Legacy/Outback. Like Legos. - Aging eyesight ?
