If its an auto once you get new pulley and can turn the engine you will see slots in the flex plate where you can insert screwdriver. Make sure it doesn't rest against the tps. Alternatively there is a hole in the side of block where you can insert a screwdriver or something to prevent turning. See attached.(credit to JohnCEggleston) If a manual, you have to block the flywheel. O.

Any misfire codes? My daughter's 98 IOB used 2 tanks of gas to drive the 250 to visit. Pulled wires while changing plugs and 2 were barely attached at the electrodes and separated on pulling them out. Changing wires along with plugs fixed her problem. O.

Can always go to opposedforces.com. look up hatch part number then click on part and see what interchange O.

That is the model number plate. Forester VINS start with JF2S...... and is 17 characters long. Look under hood on driver side near strut tower. O.

^+1 Subarus have two level gauge units. one in each tank half. O/

If you have a flare kit, just use the appropriate one for the line. Can't tell you what the size is by the numbers. Pull and match. O.

Not sure. Check www.opposedforces.com/parts/ . Look up your vehicle, then after going to cooling system click on that part number to see what other Imprezas used the same radiator.. O.

Junkyard is your answer. Or even Craigslist for a part out. O.

ok to loop. No restrictor needed. Just make sure the clamps are tight and that the hose doses not kink. o.

Spray bottom of warm engine with degreaser. Let sit for 5 minutes then hose off. Do again, this time with a brush of some type. This will clear most of grime so you can check better for leaks. Flush the radiator system. replace T stat with an oem unit or a Stant Xactstat unit only. Then see how your coolant issues are. Read up on how to "burp" the coolant syatem properly. O.

Generally your high idle is caused by your IACV . You should clean it thoroughly. (Do search on forum). The flashing may be connected or not.. If it flashes 16 times, there is a fault stored in the tranny ecu. (do search for how to read ) O.

If an oem pump lasts more than 200k, what's wrong with oem other than the price? IIRC Aisin is a well made unit. Look at the impeller. The fan looking type is not the better unit. Better to reboot the axles if they are not clicking. Another oem unit that is better than most 3rd party. Hopefully it's the outer boot that's torn. A messy job, but very doable. O.

Do a search for Subaru DTC. There are at least 5 things they suggest you check. First is the circuitry of the Duty B solenoid.. I have had this issue when I lost my tach. in a 98GT. When the circuit there drops and I show 0 revs, the switch doesn't know what the actual engine speed is and sent that code. I pulled my harness, cleaned the contacts and since then no codes. If you can't find the list, pm me your e mail and I'll send it. The one I have is 294 pages O.

Not positive on this model, but some use a through bolt. Check on the side of box and make sure. O.

Had an 07 2.5I. Did the recall for the ecu flash and had similar issues. So much so, that SOA extended their warranty period for cats. Keep your records and if this continues, contact SOA. Hopefully they'll do the right thing. O.

+1^ to all of the above. There is a third alternative. Look inside the oil filler cap. It has a year of mfg in it. This is an item that is very seldom lost or replaced, though the possibility exists. O.

Call Cometic. They will advise you which gasket to use and supply them, with all the correct passages. O.

NY does not use "sniffers" for older vehicles. Your exhaust system just has to be intact with no loud noise, no cel and no more than 2 monitors in a not ready state. Then the usual lights, horn, etc tests O.

As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!!! O. -
The 96 Subaru is the only one I know of that is exempt. Still cannot have a check engine light AFAIk. If yours is a 96 have the tester acknowledge that before you start. Look on CL for someone who is parting out one in your model range. You may get blessed and can find the entire exhaust. Legally a junkyard cannot sell a used cat. O.

NEVER use cheap Ebay head gaskets, do as Gary said, Subaru or SixStar.. Your head bolts are reuseable and not the problem. Make sure you follow the torque procedure as listed in FSM. O. -
See my post in New Gen FAQ. Links to fsm are there. O.

The first time I did it, it took me three hours to remove the dash and a little over two to install. I was being slow and labeling things that I figured needed to be mated. Don't know what the actual book rate is tho. If you decide to tackle it, make sure you print the fsm relevant pages, Especially the one that shows the number of screws that secure the dash. Some are hidden. O.

Being an EDM model I can't be definitive. In the US, with the driver's wheel on the left, the leftmost fan is the secondary. The secondary generally comes on whenever you cycle the AC unit. So start the car and then have someone turn on the ac. O.

there were places for three bolts, but there should only be two actual studs. The listed part is correct. O.
