All, In the past 1.5 weeks my CEL has been on a few times during trips I have made in my '99 OBS, but it's not on all the time. I finally had the time to go...
I'd clear it and see if you luck out and it stays away. But I've replaced them on both of our 97's... If you do change it, be noted that it can be done...
I also have a 99 OBS. Like you, I had to replace the knock sensor. I took it to a shop and they charged something like $150 bucks (part & labor). Levi Smith...
That's not a bad price. I'd consider that. When I called and asked, I was quoted something like $230 and they said it was like a 3-4 hour job, but then I...
So, clearing it isn't going to hurt anything, right? Worst case it will just re-issue the code again sometime? Assuming I really do need the sensor, I'll...
Yeah, it's worth a shot clearing it. If it's like mine, it'll be back pretty much immediately. On the topic of changing it in the cold, my recommendation is...
Everyone please ignore this trash, the sad part is that the individual actually wrote an approval message that seemed sincere. Since I've been admining I've...

Last weekend I took my Outback Sport (1997) from Green Bay, WI to Minneapolis MN. I got no better than 20 mpg. Anyone else getting this kind of mileage?...
Mine has been really crappy lately as well. When I had the car in to replace a bum thermostat, I mentioned it, and the mechanic said it was the blend of gas...
That's ball park. I'm getting 21-23 right now. In Minneapolis. Gas has a bit to do with it. Wisconsin have the winter ethanol right? You'll get worse milage ...
Does the aerodynamics of a vehicle really get affected that much just by having a dirty car? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Quick question... When I open my rear hatch on my 97 OBS, the interior lights come on briefly but then turn back off. It appears to be related to the position...
Boy, it's been too long since I've had mine to recall for sure that the interior light does in fact turn on when the hatch is open... Ok, well apparently it...
My mom's subie-ru (:o)) has been doing some crazy stuff. She is having to pull out one of her fuses everytime she shuts off her car because the parking lights...
Are you sure no one has pushed the little parking light switch on top of the steering column? That's the usual culprit... Levi (: ... [Non-text portions of...
Ah, you mean the switch I keep hitting every time I forget that the 4 way flasher switch is in the center of the dash! ... having ... because ... trusted ... ...
I'm not home to check the manual and haven't looked at my '97 OBS yet but I do no a Ford Escort uses a mercury switch inside the liftgate and would expect the...
Easy. I've fixed my '97 and a friend's OBS for the same reason. There is no adjustment, there is no mercury switch - the interior lamps is triggered by a...
I drove mine (2005) down to Florida from North Alabama last week, I got 29 mpg on the way down and 30 on the way back. These were all Interstate miles running...
Is it really that simple of a fix?! Hers is a '97. Is the switch in the older ones like that or new only? I'm dying to drive over and see if it's there! ...
That was it! She can't believe she's been pulling out that little fuse and putting it back in for a week! The last time this was happening, it wasn't the...
I have a question. I am sure most of us know the upgrades necessary that makes the base Impreza wagon or 5 door as of 2008 into an OBS. I may have one more...
