  1. Exhaust leak acting creating venturi effect sucking air in? OK so how do you detect leak? Read earlier that SeaFoam white smoke burnoff was a great way to detect leaks but that presumes that the smoke is exiting the pipe. I am confused
  2. I'm in Fairfield County and don't know of any JYs down here. Real estate is too spendy here on the gold coast to support a yard. Do you by any chance have "glass" coverage on your insurance policy? Cheap insurance in our state where tree limbs are always falling and deer love to lap dance with drivers.
  3. This has been covered a few times. There is a check valve mentioned (I think Nissan) that you can install. Read the following thread and related links. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22394&highlight=rear+washer+leak
  4. Insulate the sensor?? whoa now that's a whole new line of reasoning. Not sure I follow but I'll let this discussion continue. To answer an earlier question, I did have the ecm reset done at 57K miles. this guaranteed the cat to 100K but I threw code first at 105K DRATS!
  5. I already replaced Bank 1 front sensor so that is out of the equation. Now having swapped the downstream sensors, that also is eliminated from the diagnostic tests. Don't have scanning ability for trim.Not giving up yet but... There are aftermarket cats at 1/3 to 1/2 the price and variable optional warranties as compared to genuine soa. http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/?N=0&Nr=AND%28wpn_tl_name:Engine+%26+Drivetrain,wpn_cat_name:Catalytic+Converters+%26+Components,wpn_scat_name:Catalytic+Converters,part:Catalytic+Converter%29 Any experience with this company?
  6. Swapped downstream sensors side to side. Cleared codes and just rescanned after a day's drive and 420 is now pending. Safe to say not the sensor... Car runs very well. I don't hear any exhaust leak and don't know how to check for burnt valve. As I said, the car runs great.
  7. Unfortunately, the cheaters don't appear to work on MY 05+. Tried one and then two piggybacked. My 05 has 3 cats and 5 O2 sensors. I only have bank one code so that's where I tried the spacers. That is my experience. Anyone have success with 05 and later??
  8. Here's a link to pdf of wiring 92 svx: http://home.arcor.de/klaushoffnau/SVX_Historie/WIRING_DIAGRAMS.pdf see page 4 area C-7 for fuel pump
  9. Cougar is the go to guy here on USMB for electrical gremlins. I don't receive any fee for this endorsement ;-)
  10. Try this: "Have you put a meter across the connector to the fuel pump? Very often on the Impreza when the ECU senses nofuel the car will not restart. It will need an ECU reset. The easiest way of doing this is to disconnect the battery for half an hour. The ECU has capacitors in it that retain a charge. By cutting the current supply the charge in the capacitors leaks away and any stored fault codes will be wiped." http://www.fixya.com/cars/t1708583-fuel_pump_not_working Not your car model but you never know and hell, go watch the Olympics while the battery is disconnected for a while. You did say it started when you first disconnected the battery but perhaps there is a sequence to get it going AFTER you did your work like when turning on a router after a modem etc... just sayin'.
  11. The oldie is my buddy's 1969 Subaru 360 with 11,000 miles on the odometer. Still under warranty? My 05 OB stands behind it just in case of bullies.
  12. Reminds me of an old movie Pete 'n' Tillie (1972). OK I'm a geezer. Anyway, a father and son play a prank on a neighbor who is annoying everyone by bragging about his new car's fuel economy. Every night, they go out and put more gas in the guy's fuel tank. Just when the neighbor reaches the ultimate height of pride over his situation, they then begin siphoning off gas until they bring him back to earth.
  13. The antifoulers are available through Autozone part number 42009. They're about $6.50 for the pair. You'll have to drill them out. I have a pair already drilled out that didn't work on my 05 but everyone swears by them pre 05. Good luck. PM me if you want them.
  14. Ask to setup appointment with district manager at any dealership that is convenient to you. Ask for any bs in writing if he blows you off. Also ask to drive another like model on their lot. As for oil change, first recommended change is early due to break in metal shavings etc. contaminating the oil... or so I've been told.
  15. Wow, I learn something new everyday here. So I should revise my earlier post to say go to Durania's house and "borrow" his when he's not lookin'.
  16. T-30 Go back to junkyard and borrow one from another subie. The torx screwdrivers came with the cars and were usually in the glovebox.
  17. What misfire problem and what about the bubbles in the coolant?? I feel like someone changed the channel when I went to the refrigerator!
