  1. Could be the wiring. Check for corrosion and loose connections back at the tank area. Some folks have posted good results with fuel system cleaner. If you do a search you should find some info.
  2. Do you have spark? If not, it could be the cam or crank sensor. Make sure everything is plugged in. You could try putting in a ounce or two of gas in the intake and see if it fires. Make sure your battery voltage is good and double check connections.
  3. Just hit the yard and drop the pan and grab what you need. I pulled one for my son's 99 Outback and the yard charged $15.
  4. Do a search with my user ID Lmdew. I have a post out there. It's a few years old. I did one and then a couple of years later I did a search only to find my own post. Larry
  5. I have had good success with flushing the old fluid out and bleeding the system. NOTE: keep clutch pedal in the normal range as someone already said, if you let the master go into a new area, it can damage the seal. Same goes for the Brake MC.
  6. I found a good antenna, It goes up and down, but ratchets at the ends. I cleaned the mask with WD-40. Still not extending fully and ratchets at both ends of the drive. How can I re index it?
  7. These fail pretty often. It is driven by a motor at the bottom of the door at the aft side. Lots of times the cables come out of the track. Once that happens, you pretty much have to replace the complete unit. I've worked the cable back into the track but it doesn't last to long. If you can get it into the aft lock position, you can just undo it every time. Units are $25 at the local pull and pay. There is a manual retract option, the allen wrench is in the center counsel. Get out the owners manual.
  8. Thanks for all the information. Now I just need the $1000 subaru that needs the engine. Larry
  9. I picked up a 98 Legacy Outback. It was hit in the drivers front. I replaced the radiator, got it running but now it will not shut off. If I turn the key off, it keeps on running. I have to disconnect the negative battery cable to get it to shutoff. When I hook the battery back up it like the ignition is already on even though the key is not on. It does have the Subaru Security system. I take it a relay is stuck on. Where's the relay? Thanks, Larry
  10. I picked up a good 2003 SOHC 2.5 engine from the local yard. What will it drop into? I searched car-part.com for an engine and the only year that came up was 2003. Thanks, Larry
  11. Check the drive shafts and differentials. I've had a couple of Subaru's where the axle popped out of the Diff a 1/2" or so and it feels just like the clutch is slipping. Look at both end of the half shafts and give them a good tug. If you don't see anything, put the brake on and let the clutch out, if one axle is turning, that's the problem.
  12. Yes, all configurations will bolt up with the bracket and matching rotor.
  13. Most likely the sensor since both the Speedo and Odometer went out. Look on the forward passenger side of the Trans, the sensor is over there.
  14. Try the fuse, if the FWD light does not come on, you have confirmed it's an electrical fault with the C-Duty. Many post on doing this with some great pictures.
  15. Most likely you damaged the rear main seal. Most advise not to touch the stock seal as they almost never leak. Since you have changed the seal already, you need to confirm it's the source of the leak. If it is, remove it. Polish the crank shaft seal area with green and then gray scotchbright in a circular motion. Lube the new seal lip seal and carefully drive it into the block. Make sure the lip seal does not roll or get damaged.
  16. Sounds like a vent problem. Check the hoses going from the tank to the filler.
