Hello everyone, my is tom i am new to subarus I just bought a 1996 suburu legacy outback in very good condition body is mint you can tell this car was taken care of. well my question is at night when i turn on the lights my heater controls and my shifter selector does not light up could this be a fuse because all the instrument panel lights are on except heater controls and shifter selector. I know this isnt that big of a deal but if it an easy fix I would like to know i like everything working. it has a automatic tranny, 2.5 engine, and it has 168,000 miles on it. if you need anymore info just let me know. sincerely yours tom

1991 SUBARU LOYALE STATION WAGON 1.8 ENGINE NON TURBO

when shifting the gears it bucks after the shift . 2nd gear is the worst when shifting into 2nd it bucks the hardest have any clue what it could be causing it . now if i shift to 2nd at 2000 rpms and let out the real slow it wont do it . please help im a newbie oh yeah i almost forgot sometimes it wont shift into 1st unless i push the clutch in and give it a little gas wierd sometimes it pops out of 1st too.

my 91 loyale is running rough also my check engine keeps coming on about 2 min after driving then every time i start it its not on only after 2 min of driving also i have a plug in the # 4 of the block that is bigger than the rest of the spark plugs like someone broke one before and retapped it so you have to use a bigger plug i dont know if this could mean anything but i thought i would mention it. also when i am at idle my oil pressure is almost 0 but when i am driving it . the pressure goes to 40 is this normal on a 5 speed manual transmissions.and could it have anything to do with rough idle or check engine light coming on after 2 min of driving.

no because i put the old one back in just to try it and it still wouldnt start it getting good spark

i gave my car a tune up new spark plugs wires, cap, rotor. when i finished installing all the parts the car wouldnt start . so then i took the cap back off and i noticed inside the cap was alot of metal chips it looked like the rotor was rubing along the inside of the cap and cut through 2 of the metal studs almost all the way through. so i change the cap with the old one but it still wont start. could the timing be a factor its getting gas, has good spark, it cranks over but it wont start. please help

do you know the fire order on the block ?

yes i tried your test and i do have spark on all wires but it still wont start
