Hey GD, any chance you could give some advice on the current problem? (I have had the battery disconnected for the last three weeks or so on my 1998 Forester. Last night I spent the night cleaning the garage so I could put it inside out of the sun. When I hooked the battery back up my marker lights and dome lights all started flashing, it's not the flashers. Is this some sort of safe mode the car is in? I can not get it to stop. I have one of the cooling fans out right now, but it was not doing this before I disconnected the battery. It starts up and runs just fine and I pulled it inside. Even with the ignition off and the key out it keeps flashing? I had to disconnect the battery again to make it stop. What would cause this?) It is parked in the driveway right now, engine off with the key out of the ignition and it will flash 30 times, stop for 10 seconds, flash for 30 seconds, stop for 10 sends, just keeps repeating the process. Thank you. -
Cycling the ignition switch does not stop it. It even continues to flash after shutting the car off and removing the key? Any other ideas? Thanks

I'll try cycling the ignition, I do not have remotes for the car. Do you know if there is a way to tell if the car was made with keyless entry? Thanks for the tip.

Man, it was a hassle to add images to the gallery and figure out how to get them here. Hoping this works. I could not load several of the images of the car I took, it kept telling me they were forbidden, they were within the size limits, no clue why I was getting a forbidden message. But, here are a few pics of the car since I got it cleaned up. It was a mess inside when I started. The plastics were literally brown with dirt from the farm.

When you say you would replace "The Pulley's" are you referring to the idler's? I was planing on replacing the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, two smooth idler's, the toothed idler, the water pump and both fan belts. I was not planning on replacing the four cam pulley's unless they look worn or damaged. Input on those four pulley's would be appreciated but I felt they would be ok if they looked good. I have no clue how many miles are on the parts, I want everything that should be replace to prevent a failure for the long term replaced. If that means letting it sit a while till I can afford to do it right, then I let it sit. I do not need it right away. Aside from the knocking tensioner I think the engine will sound fine after the timing components are replaced. Nice to know the EJ22 is plug & play, I would go with one if this engine fails. I think the engine and everything mechanical has been well maintained on the car. The lady said it started knocking and she just decided to get a new car. She had just had this one serviced and new tires put on when the knock developed. She was told it was a rod bearing and that the repairs would be be more than the car was worth. Right now I am looking at around $250 to replace all the parts I listed. I will also add a tow package, another $120. And I would like to find a nice steel roof basket cargo carrier to mount to the roof rack. I would like to replace the carpet, looks like OEM is the only thing available for carpet. Not sure I want to spend that much. There is a crack in the windshield and I will be replacing that also. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it.

I called NAPA for price quotes before I knew to ask for specific brands. So far the best prices I have found are from Amazon. Thank you for your input.

Thank you GD, this info should help.

Thank you

I called Subaru today to see about ordering these specific brands. They had no clue what I was talking about. NTN, Mitsuboshi, Aisin, Koyo, NSK he said would all be after market parts unless they are manufactured by these companies for Subaru, in which case he would need Subaru part numbers. Where do you normally purchase these parts from? Thank you
-
Ok, I can deal with the $90 Amazon unit. Is NTN the brand name? I will look for the other other items by brand as well then. Thank you
-
The Amazon unit though is aftermarket? or is it OEM? Thanks
-
GD, do you happen to know approximately what an OEM tensioner costs? too late to get a price from the dealers.
-
So even the ones from Napa, AutoZone, etc. are no good? I have not yet priced one through Subaru.
