have him check the pan and he said it's all in good shape, he said he will recheck all the tranny wiring connectors, hopefully he'll find the problem before i drive the car back to bay area, thanks anyway for your input...

hi, i have a 2001 subaru legacy that had just a used engine put in just recently, i am from the bay area and the car broke down on me somewhere in oregon and the mechanic just informed me that it threw a CEL p0748 and the AT temp light on the cluster keeps flashing, before the engine problem i never had any CEL and the temp light wasn't flashing, he had taken it for a road test and said that the tranny shifts fine just except for the CEL and AT temp light keeps on flashing, does anyone have an idea what this could be?any help is greatly appreciated..thanks

old engine spun a bearing, i'm from the bay area but the car broke down in oregon and it's the reason why i wanted to make sure that the forester engine will fit right in on to my legacy being the same ej25 sohc engine without any wiring or mounting modifications, thanks

hi, i have a 2001 legacy gt with a blown engine, i am wondering if an engine off of 2002 forester(ej25 sohc same as mine)will interchange with my legacy or are there any other models that will interchance with my legacy engine wise, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

thank you people, finally got around to working on my car today, i found the #2 and #4 valves were tight, adjusted it according to specs and no more misfire, once again thank you for all your inputs and suggestion, don't have to worry about putting a new engine in it, it was a zero $ fix....

finally got to work on my car a bit today, as soon as i started it cel came on, p0302 and 0304, #2 and #4 cylinder misfires, did a compression test, 1,2,3 reads at 150psi, 4 at 125psi, tried replacing cam sensor still does the same thing, i might try and check the valve clearance, anyone here knows what the intake/exhaust valve clearance specs are?i will try and see if it might help, thanks

i just got the car last night, the previous owner told me that his mechanic thinks the no.3 cylinder has low compression even after he replaced the hedgasket and did the full tune up, i drove it 20 miles last night and no check engine light or whatsoever but i will hook up the scan tool today anyway maybe there's a pending code or something, as far as having any of the axles replaced, that i don't know and the previous owner never mentioned anything about it, i will try and work on it today and recheck everything, thanks for input and suggestions, i will update my post later, once again, thank you

just wondering if anyone had encountered a very rough idling but once being driven its totally gone(no surge or any hesitation)but stalls when in stop and the gear in drive, has these happened to anyone?mine is a 2001 legacy gt with 187 thousand miles, complete tune up and cylinder headgasket had already been(was doing the same thing even after all those work had been done)according to the previous owner, any ideas anyone?thanks

thanks for the info, called LKQ and there price is pretty reasonable, might buy it next week

thanks for all the info guys, yes i have heard about LKQ, i might give them a call today, the previous owner told me that the engine was running rough and he said the mechanic told him that no.3 cylinder has no compression, they did replaced the headgasket but not too sure if any work was done with the valves or piston, i am still wondering though if the non gt and gt legacy uses the same engine...

hi, i am new into this site, i just recently acquired a 2001 legacy gt with a bad engine, just wondering if what's the diffence between a gt and a non gt legacy and where can i buy a reasonable price engine for my car, i am located in san francisco, any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks
