I have a Forester 1999 w/ manual transmission. The back-up lights do not come up when I put the reverse gear. I checked the fuse and the light bulbs and all...
Double check both the lights and fuses, much easier to swap in some known good parts just to be sure. It happens on occation where a bulb or fuse that looks...
Switch is on the transmission, but I dont remeber if it is in combination with the NSS or a stand alone switch, nipper ... [Non-text portions of this message...
I have a 97 Legacy GT manual trans with the same problem. After checking the bulbs, fuses and trunk wiring, I was able to test that my transmission switch had...
97 Legacy GT - I lost my driving lights. The fuse was blown and fried again when replaced. The electrical short was in the 5 to 4 wire trailer light module...
These modules are a huge problem area on subarus, i imagine other makes can be just as difficult. Yank this puppy out and see what clears up. Reverse lights,...
My first Subaru, a 1998 Outback, appears to have a blown engine. While driving down the highway my engine light came on, some terrible sounds began emanating...
People confuse oil volume with oil pressure loss. You need to have X qts oil in the crankase of the engine to safely do its job. If you dont have enough oil,...
I would ask more specifics to be sure the engine is really dead. It sounds like it, no doubt, but I'd like to know more. A compression check is a normal...
I just recently got a '97 Outback with a 2.2, EJ-22, and I was sort of surprised at that myself... I've got a '98 Outback Limited with a 2.5L (and blown HG...
once upon a time, I was given a free 1993 legacy, it was in poor shape, no rear window, bad water pump, and it leaked oil. the window being shattered, and...
EJ22 was available on all 95-99 Outbacks with 5MT -- Dominic Richens | knob@... "If you're not *outraged*, you're not paying attention!" ... From: "Glen...
What a lovely story... I especially liked the "The End" part... nice little closing touch... otherwise it sorta pained me to read about someone being so ...
Nope, was only available until '96 with the 5MT. After that, it was 2.5l for 5-speed and auto both. I have the sales literature to back that up. A 97 with a...
My '97 Outback has a 4EAT in it (It's an auto tranny anyways... I'm guessing at the 4EAT part...)... and it's got the EJ-22... But, I didn't know they were...
DOH! I'm gonna have to check it out then... I was sort of surprised that the 97 had the 2.2l in it though... You've opened a whole new can of worms in my head...
I just looked at my Haynes Manual... and it gives Camshaft Lobe Height specs for 2.2L EJ's for 90-91, 92-94, 95-96, AND... 1997 and on... So, I dunno......
Hmmm... I found the following on the web.... Here's the link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine EJ22 Subaru EJ22 Usage: a.. Impreza 95-01 b.....
I'd wager that guy with the blowd up engine would pay for your old 2.5 a reasonable price, but for the work, keep the 2.5 and just do the head gaskets. Also,...
The 2.2 continued until 99 in the Legacy, just not the Outback. As far as I know, the only Outback that got a 2.2 from the factory was the first year, it may...
Wiki is good and all, but someone may post bad info, and it's up to someone else to correct it. I've found mistakes in Wiki on a number of occations. Try...
Yeah, I haven't been driving the '98 OB much, and just on short trips... I never let it get hot, and it never goes above 1/2 on the temp gauge. I see bubbles...
Yeah, we're discussing Outbacks, and what I know so far is that I have a '97 Outback setting in my driveway with a 2.2, and wikipedia says 2.2 were used in...
Ive run an engine out of oil, they can recover from it, but they are on a fast downward slope to the scrap heap after that. A pressure siwtch wont help with...
Yeah, I'm gonna do some research on swapping a 2.2 into a Outback that currently has a 2.5 in it... I'm hoping it won't be a major PITA, but my experience with...
With subarus its easy, especially if it the same generation. Lots of people do it on USMB, so go there for more details. nipper ... [Non-text portions of this...
Keeping with this thread and topic... for the guy with the blowed up OB... consider putting a 2.2L in as a replacement for your blowed 2.5... they're much more...
