p1507 code
lmdew replied to rick3114's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
Idle Air Control Valve is the P1507 code. I had the same code on a 95 2.2 engine I just put in a 98 Outback and I marked the position of the control unit on top of the IAC and then pulled it off. Made sure the valve was free and since I had another unit dropped it on. No further faults. Your newer engine is a little different. Might want to try Seafoam first. -

I'm the same, as soon as you recycle it, you will need it. But sooner or later they hit the recycle center. I've posted them cheap $5 + shipping and they still don't move and it's not worth the time to box and ship them. Recycle center when you can part with them. -
What do you mean by will not work? Does it shift into gear, any gear? Have you checked the shift cable on the passenger side of the car? Most transmission shops do a free analysis, at least in the US. If you disconnect the main plug on the trans it will place it in the limp mode and it should go in 3rd gear. Is the AT Temp light flashing 16 times, when you start the car? If so, the trans computer has a code stored. Check the codes.

Sounds like headgaskets. Let it cool, Jack the front as high as you can or put it on a hill. Fill the radiator and overflow bottle. Start the car and burp the coolant by squeezing the upper radiator hose until the bubbles stop coming out and then put the radiator cap back on. Now if you blow coolant out of the overflow bottle you most likely have a HG leaking. You can check it with a chemical tester as well. NAPA has them if you want to do it yourself.

No brakes!!

It's an AWD Car, if you flat tow it you will trash the transmission. Be safe not sorry, get it towed with a flat bed tow truck. The FWD fuse put's the transmission in FWD with the car running. It won't solve the brake issue. -
Most likely the motor is just going out. Pull it, sometimes there is junk in there that may be part of the problem. Just a connector and 3 screws. There is no temperature control. Check to make sure there is voltage at the fan when the switch is on and it's cold/not working. Could be a bad switch or the resistor pack which controls the speed. Are you checking it on High?
