I found the corect radiator for my 99 forester for $187.36. The tube for the auto trans cooler busted on the old one. I have it for sale $99.00 shipped in the contental U.S. if any one needs one. if you have a manual tranny you could blind off the niples for the trans cooler and be good to go. the link for the correct radiator is <http://replacement.autopartswarehouse.com/parts/autopartswarehouse/quote.jsp?year=1999&product=G1000-113831&application=000491321&part=Radiator&category=G> they sent me 2 wrong ones so be carefull when ordering.

Funniest thing I have read in the whole thread LMAO. I would hate to ask you guys if I should take off my catalytic converter. I would be afraid one of you would report me to green peace or the Sierra Club (probably the 17 year old seems a little too Eddie Hascle. BTW that’s a nice dress you are wearing MRS Cleaver). Apparently it’s a free country around here as long as you don’t screw with the head light switch.

I happened to notice that the timing belt was over the milage on my parents forester. While I was in I replaced the water pump with a rebuilt one from O'Reilly. While on an out of town trip the impeller spun on the pump shaft. A $250 tow home and a new pump fixed the problem. I do like O'Reilly for parts and will continue to use them JUST BE AWARE BY A NEW PUMP the price difference is only $30.

I was working on my parents 99 forester yesterday. They were complaining of the RPM surging up an down from about 1000 RPM down to 500 RPM. It would go up and down almost stalling. They told me they had a mechanic look at it one time when it was acting up before. The mechanic told them he cleaned the mass aif flow sensor. I took it out and sprayed it with brake cleaner. The problem is gone. It beat replacing it for $300 from BAP/GEON or $380 form the dealer. Has anyone else had this problem?
