  1. Knock Sensor will cause your symptoms, power loss and high fuel consumption as it retards the idle. Make sure you clock the new on correctly. Larry
  2. You said you adjusted the clutch, so I assume you have a cable operated clutch, do you also have the hill holder? If so your brakes may be dragging.
  3. Does it have an aftermarket radio? If so, they took away the ground. That would be my bet.
  4. Most likely the pump which can be rebuilt or replaced. Speedo, is most likely the speed sensor on the trans. Easy to change. Could be the dash, but that's pretty easy as well. No cable, it electronic. Larry
  5. The rear tail shaft seal is easy to replace. All seals are different. Pan uses RTV not a gasket. Mileage? If you drove the trans with no fluid, you damaged it and a used trans is most likely your best bet.
  6. Get the code # and let us know what they are! Find a good Subaru shop or USMB member in your area! Yes changing parts is not a way to fix a symptom.
  7. Yep, 99 I think. Only one wire going to the temp sensor was chewed through, so I repaired it. Lot's of work to get the harness off. - Power Steering Pump - AC Compressor - Intake It's almost done. Thanks
  8. I have good used Subaru Pans, Rust Free CO if you want one. Round or flat on the bottom. Larry
  9. I got a 98 Impreza Sedan with a 2.2. The darn rabbits had fun eating plug wires and into the harness. I replace the plug wires and coil (4 pin) but there is still damage to the main part of the harness. As soon as I start it the cooling fan starts and it throwing P0117. I can clear the code, the fan turns off as the CEL goes out, but comes on in a second or two. I have several other intakes but none of them are an exact match. The 98 Impreza: - 4 pin coil plug - Power Steering Pump plug - No EGR The other harness I have: - 3 pin coil plug, I have the correct 3 pin coil to work with the wires - No Power Steering Pump plug - Has an EGR So is I just swap the harness and use the 3 pin coil, and leave the Power Steering and EGR unplugged will it work without setting CEL? Thanks, Larry
  10. Sounds like your fans are not working. Quick check, start it and turn on the AC. Do the Fans both start working? if so it's not your fans and you have a way to keep it cool when you are in stop and go traffic, just turn on the AC. If that's the case, it's most likely your temp switch on the manifold behind the intake. Passenger side, down on top of the block. The larger of the two with the plastic connector. If the fans are not working at all, check the fuses. You can also hook up the diagnostic plugs under the dash to have the ECU cycle the fans on and off.
  11. Go to the junk yard and pull a good used Subaru Pump. www.car-part.com is also a good source. After market pumps are a crap shoot.
  12. It's the larger temp sensor on the water manifold under the intake. look down on the back passenger side of the intake and you will see the two sensors. One is for the Dash, the other goes to the ECU. The relays in the engine fuse box will turn them on and off. Why, what's up?
  13. Only thing that is on top is the Oil Pressure Sender at the front under the alternator. Oil will travel.
  14. You have to remove the aluminum retainer that holds the seal. Clean the trans as well as you can Soak the retainer with PB blaster for a few days. Remove the retainer bolt and pin punch the trans and retainer for reference Tighten the retainer, hand tight until it stops. pin Punch a second mark. Remove the retainer, count the revelutions if you want Replace the Seal Replace the o-ring Lube both Screw the retainer in hand tight (counting turns if you want) back off to the alignment marks Install the locking plate. Done
  15. I've put different color hoods on cars and some people actually love them, as they can always find their car in the crowed parking lot!
  16. Put a little fuel in the throttle an try it. You'll know if its fuel or spark.
  17. Anyone want to meet up at the Laurelwood Public House and Brewery, Workhorse, talk Subaru's. I'm in town this week 27th - 3rd. Shoot me a PM with a contact #. Larry
  18. Can we pin this Electrical Training somewhere? Starter problems, watch this: Want more great Electrical Training, watch these: https://www.youtube.com/user/bivideo7/videos
  19. Sounds like the temp sensor was not plugged in or was damaged. There are two of them, one for the computer and one for the dash.
