Your best bet would be the PCV hose that is on the passenger side of the intake manifold. It's the big fat black hose. You could use half of the bottle in...
I have a '99 obs and I recently had it inspected here in Jersey. They failed it 'cause the idiot light was on and they scanned it. They gave me the code...
You can go to autozone and have the code read for free. they can tell you what the error code is, so you can double check the first diagnosis. That said, it's...
The light may have come back on because he replaced the wrong O2 sensor. If yous is like my 97, there are 2. I think there is one downstream of each ...
From what I'v gathered, it sounds as though the oxygen sensor and cat go hand in hand. One error code could really be either one or both. And a bad O2 sensor...
I have the California emission car, so I ended up pulling off the air filter box and pouring it into the throttle body. Even though it's a horizontal pour, the...
I have a 97 OBSport with auto tranny. I use only synthetic Mobil 1 and have it serviced regularly by a Subaru dealer. I have been noticing/smelling an odor...
Hey all, For the past few days my '99 OBS has been idling rather rough, and stutters a lot on acceleration. What's weird is that it's not constant...sometimes...
Without digging up a manual, I'm not sure which is Cyl 3. But now that I'm thinking of it, I almost think the coil packs have the cylinder numbers on them....
DUH, when that mouse got the wire, the back emf got the "sparker", whatever they call it, with new wires, new plugs while I was at it and that sparker it was...
From this, I'd guess #3 will be rear left. Looking at it logically, if #1 is front left, the next inline on the crankshaft should be front right, and therefore...
Levi (or anyone else), What is the "coil pack"? Thanks for the suggestions Levi...I'll try that. Matt ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
One more thing...what do you guys recommend for plug wires? I replaced the plugs about 10,000 miles ago, so I am hoping that it's not a plug problem (but, at...
I guess it's the coil pack, it was the box that mounts under the swuare thingy the the plug wirs plug into. According to the mechanic, the sparks that were...
I just popped the hood. Levi had it backward's. The Right front is #1 and the right rear is #3. Right being the right when sitting in the drivers seat facing...
So, I'm making my list for things for the OBS. First, brakes. Just the pads and shoes. And bleed. Any tricks on bleeding? Or just the normal bleed job? Second,...
get the stock wrx sway bar, unless you plan to race, and you and the other drivers of your car are skilled drivers. The OBS is a bit higher off the ground,...
No racing going on here. I saw a stock WRX bar on ebay this week. I was trying to lowball, but someone took the buy it now. What's up with the rotors? The ones...
OBSs have a reputation for soft pedal feel, which I've found to be true; bleeding seems to have no effect and stopping is just fine, but I’d be very...
There's something wrong then. I've given substantial force trying to pull. I'm not know for a delicate touch. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... It may feel pretty true now, but when you put new pads on, they will feel warped, noisy, and require "break-in" as they fit into the subtle grooves of the...
Responses below: ... Normal bleeding. I always use the Mityvac for this and all my bleeding. Second, a block heater. It will sit out all the time, so I've ......
I wonder if there are particular years that are better than others or if it's other factors that contribute to maintenance costs. Personally, my 97' OBS has...
I think a block heater will save you money if: you normally run the engine to heat up the car before driving use a heavy duty plug in timer to turn the...
I wonder if there are particular years that are better than others or if it's other factors that contribute to maintenance costs. I've seen just enough posts...
Well along with the regassing the A?C, left rear brake light was out (again), full of water like the last time a few months ago. replaced the bulb and tried...
I would say it could be either the shoes dragging or a bearing. Probably first thing to do would be to pull the drum and see what the shoes look like compared...
Yes, that's the other issue if you have problems, whether you do it yourself or take it to someone. I hear this a lot on the Mercedes list I'm on for the 20+...
