Green plugs are for a special troubleshooting method for Subaru mechanics.

Your car would be a good candidate for a Canadian Seat Belt swap. I'd just rip out all that power belt stuff, find a Canadian person with a trashed car or a Canadian Spec car and pull all the belts out of it and replace them with yours.

Sounds like he punctured a line. But, I'll be damned, they're near impossible to hit as they're so small, so he just happened to hit the right one and poked a hole in it for you. I bet, since it didn't leak until you started the engine that he hit a return line. It's probably going to be an expensive part.

I'd start by replacing the Mass Air Flow sensor itself. Find someone here who has one and is willing to sell it cheap (like 25 bucks). I had the exact same issues as you when my car's MAF sensor went bad.

Don't slow down using the engine, use the brakes. It's hard on the engine to engine brake...

I was never had by this switch. I read my manual first

+1. Serp belts suck.

It should bolt in just fine...but I don't know how the clutch set up works on that car...

Switch on top of steering wheel. Make sure it's not in the "ON" position.

Wow. Autosport Subaru doesn't exist anymore, that's for sure.

Blah, future math teacher as well. I'll give you that torque isn't a quotient derived unit. I hated unit conversion for a reason. [/hijack]

1 ft 12 in 12 in----- ----> ------ ----> -----------1 lb 1 ft 1 lb A little bit of unit conversion for you 1 ft/lb = 12in/lb

Changing is usually good, flushing is usually bad.

1695 seems pretty high for a 22 year old car. I rate it at being closer to 850.

So, let's say a reman axle lasts 60k miles and a Subaru one lasts 120k miles. You go 120k miles. In that 120k, you'll have replaced the reman axle twice(at 60k and at 120k) - coming to a total of $120 (because all you're paying is labor). However, your price for the OEM axle has come to $260 as you needed to get ANOTHER oem axle and then you needed to pay $60 in labor to have it fixed. Looks to me like I paid less than half what you paid with an OEM axle even though it lasts twice as long. Doesn't make any sense to me to do it that way. BTW, guy 123, you got screwed unless you used two Subaru OEM axles.

You got a really bad deal on replacing the cam belt. You got charged about $200 (US) over what it should have been. You should also be getting better gas mileage than you're getting. May I suggest new spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, and fuel filter. Replacing the tank on the side of the radiator should be a very easy job.

Lifetime warranty ones are $60 each. And replacing them is about 1 hour's worth of labor. So, figure in about $120-130 total for one axle. Now, which way are you turning when the axle clicks? This way we can figure out which one needs replaced. Also, it would help for you to visually inspect them. Look under the car. If you're looking from the front, you'll see 4 large rubber boots; two on each side. If any one of those is torn, that axle should be replaced. Now, remember, your car has 4 axles...half shafts as we call them; one for each drive wheel. The front ones tend to go bad after 50k+ miles so...get lifetime warranty ones so you can have them replaced only for the cost of labor every time one breaks.

4 is a shot axle. 5: Sure it's not tire noise? Might need to swap out the oil in the trans and rear diff to quiet that thing.

Boxer engines like decent gas, not E85.

I DON'T THINK I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, COULD YOU REPEAT THAT!?!?! Easy with the caps lock there. kthx.

My car acted very similarly when the MAF (Mass air flow) sensor was toast.

I bet you have a clog in the main line going from the radiator to the engine.

TTIWWOP FTW.

It takes a LONG time for Cats to go bad. I'm willing to bet that replacing the O2 sensor will fix most if not all these people's problems.

Your currently legacy could handle it just fine. For good measure though, I'd get an external transmission fluid cooler and I'd change to synthetic fluid. Just take it easy when you're going up hills.
