I'll sell it if it's the head gasket. It's got brand new tires and a full timing belt and water pump replacement. What's it worth? 1990 legacy loaded( air don't work). Sunroof 171,000 miles auto

I'll sell it if it's the head gasket. It's got brand new tires and a full timing belt and water pump replacement. What's it worth?

It ran fine for two or three days. Then it started again, today it overheated twice, then the third time it seemed to be running fine with only letting it cool off for about 10 minutes. It gets a miss or something when overdrive kicks in or you let it idle down while driving. It also happens at the same time the overheating starts. Could this be a bad coil or spark plug? If it was a head gasket would it get better all of the sudden like this?

It had sucked the puke tank dry overnight. I put it on a steep incline and burped it again. It seems to be working correctly now. Full heat and no leaks!!! Stay tuned....

I opened the bleeder vent and finally got it filled up to the top and put the bleeder vent screw back in. Still didn't get me any heat though. The PO has put a flush port in one of the heater hoses. I am gonna open it up tomorrow and see if that helps get any air out. Do I need the car on very much of an incline? It's being finicky I guess. Most likely, it's operator error!

Dang, that takes a bit. I still don't have it. Gonna try again tomorrow.

Cool, gonna go do it know. I appreciate the help!! Thank you.

Ok! Got the timing belt, all the pulleys and gear replaced ( full Gates timing belt kit) and the water pump and thermostat plus radiator hoses and the bypass hose. It took me a while but I got it. Fixed a leaking hose today. I hope it fixes my issues. BUT. I got no heat! I think I might have a bubble in it. What's the trick on that?

Copy that. Wanna recommend a full timing kit name brand or two, and who sells them. I am sorry, I'm new to the subaru game. I don't recall the receipt I found said anything about the tensioner as a separate piece. I bet they did the pulleys and not the tensioner. If I do it, I'm going to do the wp too.

Do you think I could see the timing belt tensioner if I remove the right side timing belt cover? And, will it be showing leaking like a shock absorber?

Is there a way that the car has a code, but not keeping the check engine light on? If so, how should I check the codes? On off 3 times didn't work.

Thank you. I could see that. It's starting to get below freezing here at night. Spring tension and old grease letting it not keep proper tension. Good thought.

Timing belt was replaced 50,000 miles ago.

If it jumped time, it wouldn't fix itself. Could torque converter be loading up funny? Do coils go in and out?

I'm stumped. If a cylinder wasn't firing, why would it overheat as well? Then be fine. Also like I said, while going along with this miss thing, all off a sudden it acts like the driveshaft is wobbling until I would kick it down a gear. It has always shifted a little funny. Could there be something in the transmission? I'm getting 24+ mpg every time.

A couple of slow bubbles. @&$*%!!

The PO had it done. It's got 176,000, I will have to dig out the receipts she gave me for the mileage when it was done. While driving it would develop a shake or bad shimmy until I would kick it down a gear. Most recent thing I have done was valve covers. Could this be a stuck valve?

Hey all! I got a 99 legacy wagon automatic. 2.2L. Twice now the motor acts like it's got a miss. It doesn't have power. Last time, it developed this miss, I noticed the heater blowing cold and the engine overheated and spewed some antifreeze. I pulled over checked it out, went and got some water, but it was full. I started the car and it ran fine. Full heat and no miss. What would cause this. A miss and overheating with no heater? No check engine light either. The first time it did this I was driving down the road and it did this I pulled over and checked under the hood and the miss just went away. The second time it started up with a miss and kept the miss for about ten miles before it did the things I just mentioned. This is my work car, I need to fix thi this weekend!!!

I had to replace the outside handle too. It should be an easy to build, upgrade.

It's a wagon. I guess I'll make one. Sure makes it handy when car camping. Thanks

I can't figure out where the release for my rear hatch is on the inside of the vehicle. The manual says it is on a lever beside the gas lid release, but there isn't one there. Could the release be somewhere else? Can they be installed somewhere?
