Thanks for the diag charts, this will help immensly. Mark

Thanks for the info, I hate taking my car in to be worked on by someone else but me. Thats why I have all my tools and I really enjoy it but buying a professional A/C gauage is going to cost alot more than taking the car in to get the A/C checked. So I guess I have no choice this time. Mark

Thanks that will help alot before I really start digging in to this checking all sensors needed. I have fixed many things on this vehicle but when it comes to the OBD II stuff I tend to get frustrated. The only tools I have to fixe the problem is my ohm meter and my scanner tool and when everything checks out and it's intermitant there's not much I can do but go have a beer.

Where do you get this Fuel power FP60 I have tried a few autoparts stores, ie kragen, napa and they have never heard of it. I'm thinking it's a typical California thing where it is restricted here. Mark:-\

I have my own scanner an the code is PO505, I also have a a/c guage but not what the dealers use just a presure gaues that comes with the 134a kit. Guage reads 35 psi when compressor is in and reads as I have explained in the previous thread. Where is the idle control motor? Mark:-\

Are you saying IAC Motor or sensor and is this the same thing as the throtle body? I did clean up the air flow sensor that was a bit dusty. I have my own scanner so I turned the CEL off again yesterday and notice that the A/C turned on full blast would recycle alot of times (3 times a minute). When I hooked up a guage to the a/c, when a/c was running, it read 30 when the a/c compresor turned off the idle would go down way below 500 and would idle low until my system reached 45psi. then the compresser would turn back on again. This happened many times and the CEL did'nt come back on but I'll put some miles on the car today and see what happens. Mark:-\

Hi, I was wondering where to begin in fixing this problem. I have had the check engine light come on in my 95 Legacy 3 times in the last 2 months. I have 108000 miles on the car and each time I read the code the scanner spits out PO505 idle control system malfunction. I did charge the a/c about the time the CEL first came on and have had some problems with the a/c compressor going on and off irradicately. As far as the engine idleing poor it has been hardly noticable. Also CEL has come on every time I travel in extreme elevation change. I'm thinking this is just coincidence and that the A/C is contributing to the problem? Who knows. I did have this same code come on years ago and changing the air filter actually kept the CEL from coming back on. I tried this, this time and it did'nt seem to work. Any suggestions, comments, previous experience with same code? Mark:confused:

I can barely get my hands under the dash to get to the door motor. When I press diferent vent buttons and watch the levers move, they do move but not all the way. When I help the levers move then the levers move all the way. I grease the slots and that seemed to help. I also notice that there is a click or poping like something is binding when I help the levers move. Is the actuator the same as the door motor or are they different? I supose the only way to make this repair is to take out the dash?

Hello, I am a newbie to USMB and thought I would post a question before I completely take out my dash which I really dont want to. I am the original owner of a 95 Subaru Legacy L sedan. My question is has any one out there had the problem with the vent doors not opening, what was the reason for the problem and how did you repair it? I can't get the air flow to change from defrost to vent or the feet and visa versa without actually moving the slider levers underneath the dash. I dont know if I should just go ahead and replace the door vent motor or if something is broken inside the heater case. I have already replaced the heater control unit and this didn't solve the problem. Thanks for your help.
