I have a 1995 subaru legacy 2.2L, I recently replaced the water pump, just now finished putting on a new timing belt, and as I was tightening the pulley, I heard an awkward sound, and I knew something slipped. I went inside the car twisted the key and it wouldn't start... It turns over but will not start and run. Need help!
It is important to keep the right types of fluids in a car, to help it run smoothly. A 1992 Subaru Legacy Wagon DEXRON III for automatic transmission and for manual transmission: GL5 75W90 gear oil.
Yes both of these cars runs the 4eat automatic transmission, and the standard can be put in the svx from the legacy
The 1993 Subaru Legacy 2.2 liter engine ignition timing is the sequence that allows the engine to run smoothly. The ignition timing is synchronized with the crankshaft position sensor.

Water pump is run by the timing belt. So, you have to do everything required to replace the timing belt plus a few more capscrews that hold the pump in. These should be done at the same time, 10 years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first.
Oxygen sensor on 1990 Subaru Legacy is under car, just behind engine where exhaust manifolds join but before catalytic converter. Wires run up right side of bellhousing and connect into wiring harness.
All fuses that run engine, ignition, and safety equipment is under hood, all other accessories is in the passenger compartment
There is a fill plug on the side of the transmission. Remove the plug and if fluid does not run out then insert your little finger in the hole and crook it. If you do not feel fluid then service it to full. If you are driving and hear a noise from the transmission, then it is to late.
Out of personal experiance, the outback is a little more rugged, it has better suspension, but the legacy does just as well. I have had 2 legacy's, a justy and a svx. and lived in the catskill mountains, the legacy's both did a wonderful job in the winter time, I highly recommend both the legacy and legacy outback, but if you live out in the sticks with roads that are really rough you may want the outback. Its a little smoother on rough roads. But believe me, you will be VERY happy with either one! A subaru has always gotten me through horrible winters when other cars get stuck. If you are going to buy a used one, make sure it has all service records, if it has not been properly maintained you may run into some problems. I bought one in NYC that was not properly maintained and ended up putting more money into the car than I paid for it. If maintained properly it will last FOREVER! It is not uncommon for a Subaru to get over 300k miles. Make sure before you get it, it has had the timing belt replaced if it has over 90k miles. Or if you get a manual make sure the clutch is in good shape. If you go for the legacy get the LE. It is a better car all the way around. In all the years we have had subaru's, ours never once went in the ditch. But do not think they cannot go in the ditch, they can, but if you drive carefully it is very unlikely.
Timing belt ok? pull covers and check timing belt and timing marks. compression test would also tell . for engine to run you need fuel, spark, and compression. you have two of the three ingredients for combustion? Good luck
No, but why in the world would you take the chance? When the timing belt breaks the engine stops right now. It does not care if you are going to be run over by that truck you just pulled out in front of.
