I've scrapped lots of Subaru's over the years but never thought about what the yards do with non-deployed airbags. I have several passenger and drivers side airbags that I'm going to recycle. I searched the web and found a few options but other than deploying them with 12 volts - 30 feet away and then just sending them through the metal recycle centers not much. Thought I'd ask. Thanks, Larry

Cheaper and faster to pick up a good used engine and bolt it in IMHO.

If you end up needing one. I have an 07 Legacy Outback CAT. The engine had 42K on it. $200 = Shipping from 80919

I have cam gears and everything you need to put it back together to see if it runs. Shipped from CO, 80919

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?

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.

I have a couple in CO. $20 + shipping, which will be about $40.

95 Intake and the EGR will have to be worked around.

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.

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.

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.

Nice $5 fix. Glad I had some spare sensors to send you. Larry

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.

Clear the CEL and then see if it comes back. Larry

The resistor pack is under the glove box in the air ducting. Two screws and a connector.

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.

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.

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.

www.car-part.com is also a good source.

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.

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.

1+ on Motive Brake Bleeder. I've been using one for years to flush Subaru brake systems that have been ignored for years.

The stock tube from 90 - 95 are about the same as you made without the joints.

Make sure you have not dented the trans pan if you put a jack under it. If dented you may block the fluid pickup.
