Subaru Legacy

Common check engine problems for the Subaru Liberty with the EJ22 engine often include issues with the mass airflow sensor, oxygen sensors, or vacuum leaks. Additionally, problems with the catalytic converter or ignition components, such as spark plugs and coils, can trigger the check engine light. Routine diagnostics using an OBD-II scanner can help identify specific trouble codes related to these issues. Regular maintenance is key to preventing and addressing such problems.

To reset the timing on a 1994 Subaru Legacy after changing the water pump, first, ensure that the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder. Remove the timing belt covers and verify the alignment of the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys with the corresponding marks on the engine. If necessary, adjust the timing belt to align these marks, and then reassemble the covers. Finally, check the tension on the timing belt before starting the engine.

In a 1997 Subaru Legacy, the main fuse box is located in the engine compartment, near the battery. It contains various fuses, including the main fuse that protects the electrical system. You may need to remove the cover of the fuse box to access the fuses. Always consult the owner's manual for specific fuse information and locations.

To replace the heater core on a 1992 Subaru Legacy, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the cooling system. Remove the dashboard and the center console to access the heater core, which is located behind the dashboard. Disconnect the heater core hoses from the engine compartment, then unbolt and remove the heater core from its housing. Install the new heater core by reversing the process, ensuring all connections are secure and the cooling system is refilled and bled of air.

I'm not familiar with that particular engine but... Look for a metal pipe coming off one of the exhaust manifols that does not lead out the tail pipe. What that pipe leads into is EGR valve, there may be multiple components connected by rubber hoses. You can always buy new part first so you know what to look for.

There are a number of reasons why your Subaru Legacy might not start all the time. If you're having problems in the cold, it might be that your battery doesn't have enough cold cranking amps to turn the starter. In that case, change the battery. If you haven't replace the battery in a while, it's a relatively inexpensive quick fix that if it doesn't solve the problem, just extends your battery life for the next go around. If you're stuck, turn off everything (radio, rear defrost, headlights, blower fan, etc.) and try starting the car to see if the starter isn't getting enough amps. Beyond that, it could be that your alternator isn't charging your battery properly. If this is the case, you'll see the headlights dim as you turn on and off other electrical equipment when the car is running. Check the voltage across the battery when the car is running. It should be around 13 - 14 volts if the alternator is putting out enough charge. If the alternator and battery are not the problem, the starter could be going out, or the ignition switch could be going bad, or the switch that determines if you're in Park or Neutral (assuming it's an automatic) could be bad. When the car doesn't start, try switching the car into Neutral and see if it starts there. If wiggling the shift lever fixes the problem, replace that switch. If your headlights stay on when you attempt to start the car, it's probably something with the ignition switch. If the headlights go off, it could be the starter.

How to remove Altenator on Nisasan titan 5.6 4 wheel drive

On my 97 legacy it is (looking from the front of the vehicle) located to the rear and right of the throttle body. I was able to find it by removing the inter-cooler. and a couple of hoses to get to the thing. I first saw the white wire connection and followed it down. Everyone kept telling me it was there but I did not believe it after searching for days; but it was there all the way down on the block. Get a flashlight to shine down there as you trace its connector. Will need a long extension to undo the small bolt that hold it down..
