I forget if you ground it I think it goes full hot. You can check the resistance and see what it does with increase of temperature.

Betterhalf was driving, and said the Forester was acting strange. I got in and it had a huge amount of drag as I let out the clutch. Pulled off the expressway and popped the hood. Yep the hillholder was not releasing. No tools other than the Subaru kit in the rear. I was able to get the hillholder cable retaining clip off the bracket and open the hillholder completely. Problem solved and we made it home 80 miles. I may just leave it disabled if I can not get it working properly.

Well I was going to get it Friday. Had cash in hand and then the Dealer's Sales person said the owner had already committed to trading in the car on the new one. Deal Stinks! $500 for a 2008 with 120K on it, but they told her it needed about $10K for a new engine. I'd tell them to keep the NEW Subaru!

I stopped to help someone on the road today. The car would not start. I pulled the codes - 08 Outback PO340 Cam Sensor. When I pulled the driver's side small timing cover there was over a foot of slack in the timing belt before it stopped. They had the HG's done a few months ago. That much slack, I would think the passenger side cam had failed. GD - those plastic gears you've talked about?

There are two sensors/resistors one on each side of the tank due to the driveshaft hump. The resistors can become iffy. There is Fuel Sensor cleaner you can add to the tank. If you pull the sensors out, make sure you do not snap the 8mm studs on the tank. If the car has rust issues, I'd just leave it as is.
