I bought a 2004 5 speed obw recently. Nice car, not counting some repairable deer damage , it had two definite things going on. A mysterious yet to be diagnosed symptom of continuing to run with the key removed ( addressed in another post) . And trouble filling the fuel tank , showing a 1443 code, "evap control solenoid" . I expected to replace the valve above the charcoal canister... i expected it so much (having repaired this before on others) that I ordered a new one without confirming things... Turns out , I learned something new...(Again) ... on 2004 outbacks that are built to be a California car , they run an impreza evap system ! Completely different than all the other "non calf" 00-04 outbacks . I had to replace the entire charcoal canister/ with the valve built in, way more $$$ than just the valve. Available from doorman thru rock auto. No more can you dry the charcoal and replace just the valve, when it's much better to replace the whole thing!..." NOT" !! In fact ,what this car is, is an early 2005 ! Made in January of 2004....and It's even a drive by wire ! Having the impreza system on an outback was something I hadn't run into before and i wanted to share this for the next guy. Installation of the new canister was a snap, fuel filling problem solved , after clearing the comp , no 1443 code or any other has come back. Now the CE light is off and the cruise control light is Not flashing and works as it should.
