Giovara Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hey, I have a 2002 Legacy L wagon 160k, automatic. Im getting a p1518 code. The car is driving horribly. It starts fine but when you gas it, it cuts out like the fuel is shutting off. Sometimes once I start it, it immediately stalls. Almost killed myself pulling out into traffic and it stalled. First I checked the battery post's and the positive side was heavy corroded. As I was cleaning it I noticed the post connector on the positive wires had a broken spot, so I replaced the connector. I removed the starter and cleaned all the connections there also. Hooked everything back up and its still driving like crap and cutting out. I figured it must be the ECU so I replaced it and it's still driving like crap and still giving the p1518. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Fairtax4me Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I think the code will go away if you figure out the power issue. I would check fuel pressure first. Some years around that time had an issue with a cap on the fuel pump assembly. The cap fatigues and breaks and bleeds fuel pressure back into the tank.

Subarus option is to replace the entire sender assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
