  1. Can she shift gears when this happens? Most failures would be the opposite, where the car does not go. Broken half-shaft, drive-shaft.
  2. I know the best way to check would be to try one front and back. Anyway, anyone has a 215/60/16 on a 2002 Impreza Wagon? Thanks Larry
  3. Engine issue came back today. The car has been running great with no issues for over a month now. Yesterday, going down the freeway it happened again. Loss of power, rpms dropped going 60 mph. I shifted to N, and gave it a little gas, RPM went to 3K, I dropped it back into D and all was good for a few minutes. Then the freeway turned into a parking lot, with bumper to bumper traffic for about 5 miles. Power loss came back numerous times. RPM would drop a little, no power, it was like I was coasting. Drop it into N, RPM would increase with gas, drop it back into D and I had power again. Now it only lasted a few minutes and the power loss came back. No CEL. I got to my exit and headed home, only 2 miles to go. Emergency Flashers on and the power loss continued. A couple of times the engine died. Shift to N and crank, the engine would start back up. Drop it in D and limp along. I got it in the garage, Park selected and gave it a little gas. RPM 3K but it was hunting, RPM between 2500 and 3500. I turned it off and started it back up and now it would hold a steady RPM. OBDII showed pending miss fire on all 4. I've never had a Subaru perform this way and so intermittent over months. Weeks of normal driving, then it acts up again. NUTS, I say.
  4. Yep, I always go used hub. I check them the best I can at the yard. Pull, Install, should last for years. If it turns out to be bad, exchange and get another. Used WRX s hubs are also good as many of the nasioc members pull them to upgrade.
  5. Anyone ever replace the plastic around the center of the clock, with a flip up compartment from earlier years. They look pretty close? Thanks, Larry My 05 is in about 8 pieces. Cracked as can be in the heat.
  6. Injector leaking? Hard to start after sitting a few days? Fuel pressure take a bit to build to restart?
  7. Tires should be the same size with even wear. The max Dia. difference is 10%.
  8. First, I always remember if it's not broken don't fix it! Studs don't fail and are not a regular maintenance item. Did you properly torque the lug nuts? You may have damaged the hub flange. Details on the removal and installation process you used would help.
  9. Agreed. While driving and keeping the eyes on the road it hard to pick everything up. Loss of power. I don't think electric dies as I still had gauges. Just strange that the CEL is not being set. Thanks
  10. Engine issue, no power came back twice today. 1st time I dropped it into 3rd. Power came right back. 2nd time it had no impact but power came back in 10 sec. or so. p
  11. While you are in there tighten the oil pump back plate screws and replace the o-ring.
  12. Thanks, I'll take another look. Interesting that the text says side of the driver's seat, but the picture shows the kick panel area.
  13. I changed out the gauge cluster, it's nice to have speed back. The ABS light is on. I looked for the 6 pin black connector and jumper pins, but did not see them. Anyone know how to pull the ABS codes on an 05 Impreza RS wagon? Thanks
  14. There should not be much pressure on the button to make it brake? Have you replaced the complete handle? Pretty easy and many years are interchangeable. Hit a yard and grab one.
