Check the PCM/Power Control Module/Computer. I had a 98 do the same thing to me. The PCM will be hot to the touch when the problem occurs. The PCM is located on the passenger side firewall in the motor compartment, behind your radiator overflow bottle.


Fitting thermostat on 1997 Subaru legacy?

If your 1997 Subaru Legacy is the same as My RS-B Twin Turbo?, the Radiator and Overflow bottle have to come out and the Thermostat is at the front of the Engine, down the bottom-just to the right of centre, (Thermostat is inside the bottom radiator hose), - My Thermostat just twisted/pulled out, let all old coolant flush out-put New Thermostat in its place, Radiator and Overflow bottle were put back in and radiator topped up with fresh coolant and water, Overflow was filled to second line as it should be, car was started with heater on full for 5 minutes to disperse any air in water - (note) after adding fresh coolant, add water in Radiator till it can't take anymore-to show its filled properly.
