  1. I have cam gears and everything you need to put it back together to see if it runs. Shipped from CO, 80919
  2. I'd pull the cam gear and see what's up. If the cam froze due to lack of lub, the engine most likely is beyond hope. Dig a little further, drain the oil and check the filter for metal. Miles?
  3. MPG comes up every winter. Owners allowing the car to warm up, and gas that does not have all the summer additives contributes to lower MPG.
  4. Is it building pressure in the coolant hoses when the engine heats up? Are the Heater hoses getting hot on the fire wall? Couple of easy things to check.
  5. Are you sure it's a Factory system? If so there should be a reset button connected to two brown wires. Have to press and hold the switch with the key on. If it's and aftermarket system, I pull them out and restore the wiring to normal. More problems then they are worth IMHO.
  6. Take your 95 2.2 and drop it in a 98-99 Outback that needs a motor. It will be like a new car and last another 10 years.
  7. Clean and or change the Mass Air flow sensor. Used Subaru one is fine. Make sure the ducts and tubes off the airbox are in good condition and tight.
  8. The resistor pack is under the glove box in the air ducting. Two screws and a connector.
  9. They are a pain and it's hard to install them as well. On installation you have to compress the strut with a jack to line up the bottom bolt hole. Box wrench and a BFH to get the nut broke loose or a long breaker bar.
  10. I have spare sensors I can send you for the costs of shipping. Make sure the plugs are NGK copper core and the plug wires are Subaru or NGK. Have her find a good Subaru Only shop and have her take her car there for all maintenance. Yes oil changes will costs a little more but they will know the car and not sell her things she does not need. Just my thoughts.
  11. Short to ground somewhere. You are on the right track isolating the lights. You might want to check the amperage draw on each light and see which one is high.
  12. Just found my leaking fuel line on my 2000 OBS yesterday at the gas station. Short 2" section under the main fuel line connection on the engine. I'll replace it today. I've been looking for a couple of weeks. Finally saw the wet hose.
  13. Boot/s torn? Get a Subaru axle. Used is fine as long as the boots are good or you change them before you install the half-shaft.
  14. 1+ on Motive Brake Bleeder. I've been using one for years to flush Subaru brake systems that have been ignored for years.
  15. The stock tube from 90 - 95 are about the same as you made without the joints.
  16. Make sure you have not dented the trans pan if you put a jack under it. If dented you may block the fluid pickup.
  17. My brother in WI just had the same issue with his 97 Legacy Wagon. He got some line from an auto parts store and just splice it in from the junction block on the passenger side. It's the one up for sale. While it fixed the brake leak, he does not want to sell it as a running car for someone. So it's up for parts.
  18. I have a rust Free Subaru rear sub frame in CO. 80919 It is going to the recycle yard if it's not picked up or shipped to someone. Larry
  19. That may be why I did not have the code at 6200' here in Colorado Springs but Eric has it at Sea Level out in Seattle. I told you Nick the Subaru just likes Colorado! Thanks for all the work GD!
