  1. Ok the car is obd1. Said coolant temp. sensor and oxy sensor. Replaced the temp sensor and cleared the codes today. Took me a minute to find the damn thing. Temp sensor hidden under a bunch of wires. Found my pcv valve that I have been carrying in my car for 2 years in the midst of moving the wires and hoses to remove the thing. (2 birds, 1 stone.) (couldn't get the socket on the temp sensor without removing the hose.) As for the car, I think the body will fall apart before the engine dies. Live up in pa/ny, so winters are eating her a bit. But no knock, no metal shavings. Runs like a top 99% of the time. Put lucas in her every oil change since I've owned her. I treat her good now that I am older. HAHA So far so good, will report back. Thanks for all the help guys.
  2. Replaced the plugs and wires 2 years ago. That didn't change anything. I have always thought that might be the coil pack, but no idea. As for the codes, I keep getting mixed signals... I have read more than 3 different places that 95 is obd1 or ob2. No one seems to be certain on that... It is the odd year. LOL But I am hoping it is just a temp sensor... According to this site my car is obd2... http://www.troublecodes.net/subaru/ The funny thing is that it says 96 and later are obd2, but down just a little bit, it says that 95 impreza are obd2... Like I said it must be the odd year out. LOL
  3. Nice seeing a group of fellow subaru lovers. Had mine for 10 years now and she is getting a bit old and tired. 220000 on her. Recently the check engine light kept blinking on and off randomly for about 2 weeks, and in the last 2 days has now become permanent. She is starting really hard, (which she always has when it rains and she sits for more than 6 hours and acts just like that, kinda skippy thing goin on.) BUT This is different in that as soon as you turn the key on a cold start, the fans come on now. Think that might be part of the sensor system, but not sure. But not having a code reader or time to take it to the garage this week was just curious if this could be the temperature sensor going? Just my guess, was hoping someone more versed in this than I might have already conquered this problem. Thanks for all the help!
