Getting the OBS on Saturday...with new month(May)/lease deal it will only cost $45 more/month than the impreza SE sedan...can't wait till Saturday. Thanks for...
Anyone have experience with the cats and/or O2 sensors? My wife's 97 Impreza L (drivetrain's identical to my 97 OBS) just died Monday night. It idles, but...
Anyone tackle a leaking washer hose on a 97' OBS? Mine was leaking previously into the rear headliner(or at leas the plastic a tthe back edge) and I found a...
A cat converter and O2 sensors will generally not cause a no start or no run condition. The O2 sensor isn't active until the exhaust is hot, so the ECM has to...
Yeah, but if the cat is going bad that would mean plugging, right? And that would make it so it wouldn't rev up? It has started and idled(though that's a bit...
Levi, Was it a gradual decline, or a rapid one? I can't imagine that a cat would deteriorate so quickly as to get plugged without a gradual performance...
I've had a cat plug up, it was gradual, idle was just fine, even at it's worst, but producing power was a problem. It ran smooth, quiet, but sounded like it...
Hmm... Perhaps it is something else... I wish the CEL would actually come on and tell me what it is. Normally it's always clued me in to the problem on the...
It can be tricky, that's for sure. The service manual often has bench checks for most of the sensors, there aren't as many as you might think sometimes, I did...
All, How do I go about checking the fluid level in the front diff on my '99 OBS? I think the level is a little low (I'm getting some "binding" feeling when...
You don't say if it's an auto or a stick. The dipstick is somewhat hidden, keep looking, you'll find it. There isn't much of a riser on it, it's really just a...
I forgot to mention it's a manual. I didn't really think that would affect where/how to change the front diff, but I guess it does. And, believe me, I've...
On the 5 speed, its on the passenger side, near the fire wall, about half way down pretty close to the bell housing if I recall. Its not obvious, but it is...
Sounds like you've got info to find the dipstick. You should be able to find the fluid specs in the owners manual. I think you want GL-5 for the diifs....
It's not an auto...it's a manual. All I know is that the binding feeling seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, so I figured I'd take a look at the...
I have noticed in 2nd and 3rd gear around 2000-2500 RPM that the car is really jerky...hasn't stoppped doing it after 2 weeks!?!? Going to bring in the car on...
CM, it's jerky just while cruising, or while shifting? If it's not slipping on hills and acceleration, and not shuddering while engaging the clutch, it...
My guess is the somewhat typical hesitation problem on many of the boxer engines. I believe the knock sensor is picking up something (not engine knock), and...
I was informed that the 2006 and 2007 Subies have a completely different knock sensor...they couldn't find anything wrong with my OBS yesterday...I even took a...
