Hi. I have had problems with my 94 Legacy (temp gauge goes above halfway-close to Hot). Heads have been re-done. We have replaced just about every part regarding the issue. My friend attempted to change out the coolant thermostat sensor a few days ago, but had trouble trying to get the sensor out, so he cut it off (cut the pigtail wires) . This is a part that Subaru said they don't sell.
Now my car wont even start, as if it isnt getting any fuel. When my friend installed the new temp sensor (but not wired due to he cut the wire), both fans ran continously, whereas before the fans would not come on. Drove the car home and that was the last time the car would start/run.
1. How would my friend fix this other than get a new wiring harness? Would he be able to splice the wires together?
2. If my friend is able to re-connect (splice) the coolant temp sensor wires back together, should the car start (I am assuming by cutting the wires, has messed up the computer and this is why the car will no longer start).
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you...
