1991 Legacy Knock sensor replacement
Legacy777 replied to dship's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck out my website: www.surrealmirage.com/subaru Notes & tips, engine related will have the info you want. I'd suggest pulling the codes again, just to make sure, and then resetting the ECU. Drive the car around, see if you get the CEL blinking again, if so, pull the codes and see which ones are come up again. I'd also suggest checking out www.bbs.legacycentral.org

My New Soob
Legacy777 replied to zed_nm8r's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe speed sensor in the combination meter (instrument cluster) is actually speed sensor #2. Speed sensor #1 is located in the rear tail housing of the transmission. This is only on the cars equipped with mechanical speedos. For the cars equipped with electronic speedos, the 2nd speed sensor is on the transmission/front differential I believe.

how far out does the converter sit when completely dropped into trans?
Legacy777 replied to xrturbo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot sure what to tell you. You may want to remove the torque converter entirely, and make sure the little cone seal on the end of the torque converter shaft is there, in tact, and pliable. You may want to squish it a little. I've heard of people having tons of problems getting the torque converter shaft back in, and I've also seen them just pop back on.

Fuel guage busted / loose wire found
Legacy777 replied to tjxtreme's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHere's the pic http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/underseatfuelwiring.jpg Usually the wires are kept together with tape, but those look all messed up, like someone had been messing with them. I'd definitely try and find a wiring diagram for the fuel sender for your car and do some testing. This is for the legacy, but should be the same/similar for the outback http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/1999_Legacy_FSM/

My New Soob
Legacy777 replied to zed_nm8r's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYes the transmission needs to be removed to replace this gear. Actually the front diff needs to be pulled from the trans housing, but you still have to pull the transmission. If you want to do the conversion, check out my write up. I give separate 5MT & AWD conversion parts lists. www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap

SVX Flex Plate
Legacy777 replied to mid-knight's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI would question the quality/brand of flexplates they are using, and/or the torque procedure they are using. Do you have any significant power mods? You may want to check out www.subaru-svx.net/forum to see if anyone else has seen this specific problems.

Legacy777 replied to xrturbo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou need to rotate and push gently. It needs to seat back in the oil pump housing properly, or it will kill the oil pump in the trans. If you search, there's several threads about this issue.

MAF low input # 2 cylinder misfire
There may be a procedure to pull the TCU codes yourself, but I'm not sure what it is for the newer cars. I'd suggest searching the board and see what you come up with.

Is this the craziest mod you've ever seen? Cheap Air seat
Legacy777 replied to destey's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyeah....I'd love to see a picture...haha.. BTW, you think the GR2's are a stiff ride.....you haven't seen anything. Mine can get pretty bad on the roads in Houston, but it handles unbelievably

MAF low input # 2 cylinder misfire
First thing I'd do is check the resistance on the wiring going to the MAF sensor and see if you have a short or wire that has a high resistance. If you've replaced the sensor and ECU, I don't see what else it could be. Have you gone to the dealer to pull the TCU codes? Or can you pull them yourself with the scan tool?

2000 OBW: Rear Antisway Bar Dislocation ;o)
Legacy777 replied to the_bard's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe link broke. Those four spots are probably spot welded. There should be some form of bolt or something to remove/replace just the link.

90 Leg power window Qs
Legacy777 replied to Island Roo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI don't think the sunroof relay is the same as the window relay.

Fuel pressure regulator?
Legacy777 replied to indianaoutback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGet a gauge and check the fuel pressure at idle with and without the vacuum line attached.

Replacement Clutch Kit for '97 Legacy Outback
Legacy777 replied to guysk's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI believe the difference is in the engine size. I think the clutch on the 2.2 liter motor is slightly smaller then the clutch on the 2.5 liter motor.

Help! Problem with Main Crank/Pulley!!!
Legacy777 replied to gotime242's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe technical name is the crankshaft key You can try and find a generic one, or get it from the dealer.

Fuel guage busted / loose wire found
Legacy777 replied to tjxtreme's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah I don't think the CEL & fuel gauge are connected. Definitely go get the codes pulled. Those should be brake lines running under the seat. Email the picture and I can host, jlegacy (at) surrealmirage.com

pressure sensor?
Legacy777 replied to dolehendrix's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe pressure sensor tells the ECU what the barometric pressure is so it can adjust the a/f mixture at lower/higher altitudes. The diagram shows it piped up to the intake manifold and canister purge solenoid. It's possible with that disconnected and having a slight vacuum leak is what could be causing your issues. I'd double check all the vacuum lines, reset the ECU, and see how she runs.

Legacy777 replied to darkknight's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX99 & 98 would probably share more similarities since they are of the same generation. 2000 was the first year of the 3rd gen legacy.

Miss in a 90 Legacy....
Legacy777 replied to mikeamondo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah check the codes, and you also may want to replace the wires & plugs too. You can d/l the engine & electrical portions from the 92 factory manual from me http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/1992_FSM_(Engine_%26_Electrical)/
