Just to be clear - you aren't talking about the crank pulley are you? sometimes, people don't torque those properly. And sometimes the rubber between the outer and inner pieces degrades. Those issues would need attention.

1 Lucky Texan replied to whynot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThose connectors may be located close enough to the battery to have some corrosion in them - double check for that. I had to replace the front windshield motor in ourt 03 OBW with an aftermarket one from a parts store. The new one worked better than the old one. sometimes, stuff just breaks.

1 Lucky Texan replied to jmoss5723's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou may have used the wrong mark on the crank sprocket - for belt installation, you ignore the arrow/triangle on the front. You use the tab with the dash/line on the back of the sprocket. also, did one of those tabs break off? the crank position sensor needs them.

1 Lucky Texan replied to whynot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDO NOT allow the steering wheel to spin freely when you disconnect it. Roll-connector/clockspring cable w'ever will be damaged.

1 Lucky Texan replied to Banjo1928's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmany people drive their binding cars in FWD mode. not sure on something as new as 2012, but our 03 needs a spare fuse (any size) placed INTO an empty slot labeled FWD to disable AWD.

1 Lucky Texan replied to Banjo1928's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthere's a slight possibility the problem is a u-joint or carrier bearing. Slight because all those parts still turn when AWD is dsabled - but, there's less force on them. Also, it may be worth trying an additive like Trans X. Just on the off-chance it saves a major repair.1 Lucky Texan replied to 1986Brat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXkinda doubt a valve issue with smooth vacuum - but.....? live data may be a good next step - Torque app with an elm327 BT adapter, or a Tactrix cable to a laptop...... maybe free ssm;http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/65-parts-accessories-performance/39426-freessm-complete-access-your-ecm-tcu.html1 Lucky Texan replied to Hopper4ua's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou might consider a TGV delete if this continues to be a problem. You will need to flash the ECU's rom to kill the associated codes though.1 Lucky Texan replied to Banjo1928's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXum - this is trite but needs to be asked; all 4 tires the same brand/model/size and very near each other in wear-level?1 Lucky Texan replied to 1986Brat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXtry refreshing all the grounds you can find. might be time for compression/leakdown testing. maybe there's a dropped valve guide?is it possible the gas is bad? water in it or a vindictive neighbor sabotaged the car? maybe try some HEET?1 Lucky Texan replied to Rooster2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou could buy me a Silver lol!1 Lucky Texan replied to yosyeti's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdoes it idle normally?1 Lucky Texan replied to yosyeti's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmaybe more than one item but, despite no code, symptoms kinda point to knock sensor. If it looks cracked - it isn't hard or expensive to replace. almost the only sensor than doesn't need to be OEM - cheap ebay units have worked well for most people. could your clutch be slipping? PCV valve may also be gummed-up.1 Lucky Texan replied to soopsoop's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX^^^ that also, old pulleys sometimes have separation from bad rubber between the 2 parts.1 Lucky Texan replied to Rooster2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just bought a bronxe to send in a little extra $ - wouldn't let me re-up at the high level???1 Lucky Texan replied to mkc1962's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif it does, it was a swap. Might be fun when it's running, might be full of headaches when it breaks.is the big hose from the IACV connected under the intake tubing? I would pull the covers and check timing. I'd say possibly a bad ECU ?1 Lucky Texan replied to ChicagoHC's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwhen I do that with our 03, it also arms the security system. you might consider asking your question at http://www.subaruoutback.org/ also.1 Lucky Texan replied to 1986Brat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif it's stumbling at idle - one thing to try, spray some starter fluid into the intake. If it is starved for fuel - it should smooth out. If the problem gets worse, maybe it's being flooded. And if there's no change, could be a timing/compression/spark issue.rebooting a soob axle from a junkyard is a decent approach.1 Lucky Texan replied to 1986Brat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthrow a vacuum gauge on it - you can find info on-line of the 3-4 issues a vacuum gauge can show.1 Lucky Texan replied to djmark7's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXgary - he needs to pull the ABS fuse and test as you mentioned. just to confirm if he's really feeling ABS.
