Fairtax4me Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 :Cough: Star Trek sucks :cough: So did you figure out which code(s) are coming back after the last reset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdarius Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 So, yes, I went through all the connections...again. I think I know which ones apply specifically based on the FSM so I checked them twice. The same 2 codes came back after the last reset, in fact, after the leaving the positive cable disconnected for 2 days the codes came back up almost immediately. I'm afraid it's time to call in the real Jedi. I could check one more connection in the console, but I break stuff. If I do that, what would have been a $300 job 3 months ago will turn in to a $600 job 3 months later, and the AC blower will STILL sound Chewbaca! BUT...i got an OBDII code reader and vacuum gauge out of the deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdarius Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 WHAT!!!! Did you do voodoo on me because I couldn't use the FSM???? Undo it! Quick!! Problems: The last place that changed my oil mistook my transmission filter for my oil filter. Also, when they tightened it down they crimped it, resulting in a leak. I have been running without tranny fluid for how long?? God bless Subaru, but I wish it would complain more than that so I would know before I do something stupid like that! So, this also means they didn't actually change the oil filter...and probably not the oil. It's low and black. Add to it the leaking head gaskets, leaking oil pump, timing belt that needs to be changed, bad CV joints....the list goes on. My poor car has been abused and I didn't even know it! My '84 Land Cruiser is in better condition!!! That's just wrong. I stopped doing my own oil changes this summer because it wasn't saving me any money and it made a mess that I had to clean up...a trip to the parts store to dump the oil. I suppose had I known this would be the result I would have kept doing it. Sons of guns. I was going to sell it this last summer, too. It would have been after the "oil change", but before I knew there was a problem. Better for my pocket book, but somebody else would have hated me, even though I didn't know.

bheinen74 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ^ sounds like they need an "oil change app". Won't be long and the people coming out of school won't know how to tie their own shoes without an app for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdarius Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Final conclusion: While yes, the leaking oil filter on the transmission was a problem, the ultimate solution to the P1719 code....... ....... ......wait for it...... .....Replace the negative battery cable. Yup. That's it. The cable was corroded and messing with things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
