Pacosquared Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 i have a 1995 Legacy L 2.2 SFI? While driving it it suddenly got Hot and water spewed out the drivers side in the engine compartment. From where? So I refilled the radiator with about a gallon and then continued on when suddenly it it stalled. I checked and filled the oil. It was down 3/4qt. Now it only turns over and will not start? Where do I start? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Check for the basics first. Does it have spark at the spark plugs. Is it getting fuel,. Pull the drivers side Timing belt cover to inspect the timing belt. Check all relays and fuses. Also find out why it got hot and spewed water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacosquared Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I pumped a few squirts of starting fluid and no change in the turning over so I assume no spark? I will check the timing belt. Is there a place to go to view owners manuals/ engine schematics? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sounds like a t-belt failure. Water pump probably went out and kicked the t-belt off. I would Start by pulling the drivers side inspection cover and take a look 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing is.........if Tbelt broke, the valves will not be damaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's why I like my old 2.2s they were called the bulletproof motors for good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
