Hi. Sorry . Not a blogger. Didnt know how to respond. My brother found a seems dependable, Subaru in Mcallen. Bert Ogden. They inspected and checked everything. Changed out 2 air control valves and 2 hoses. They drove it a while, 2 weeks I guess, then when ready to return it it shut down again. They returned the car but didnt charge him. Engine light comes on and off. Running ruff. Missfiring and dies. He said he is going to try changing fuel pump next, but going to load it on a trailer and take it back to IA so his son can help him do this. Thanks much for everyones response.Apptreciate it.

HI. new here. This sounds similar to your problem. Seems to be a common problem online, but not here. I had a 1998 Outback from 1998 to last year. Loved it but little things were going on. I live in MN. Gifted it to my brother who is driving it in Donna , Tx. He needed a car badly and no money. Was fine last year. Now he says it is shutting down at stop signs. too scary to drive. Says it might be leaking oil somewhere too. Sorry, I'm still in MN , but trying to help. It was stored over the summer down there. He took it to Subaru and they ordered him an air control valve which will take 6 days to get. He didn't tell me the cost. Online I keep seeing an MAF mentioned for stalling problems, never air control valve. I am just a girl who loved my Subi and miss it. I am trying to help, He does work on his own cars to a point. Not me so not sure if he will listen to me. There are so many Subaru Addicts here in MN. But not sure about TX. Any info on Stalling Engines on 1998 outbacks. OH. Info. I had the head gaskets rebuilt or replaced at 60000 mi???? under warranty. and now it has about 180000 mi I think. Thanks.
