Subaru

It is important to know the type of engine in a car. The 1988 Subaru GL-10 does in fact have an interference engine.Ê

I sometimes sputter when I'm nervous. Please reword the question and tell me what year and engine and describe what you are doing with the car when "sputtering" occurs. Would help if you can think of additional description of what you mean by "sputtering".

There is a little hanging button by the fuse panel. It is the reset switch for the alarm. Press the button and start car normally.

how much does a subaru cost?

Power going into the pack and none coming out of it. Also a cracking sound as it shorts out.

The Subaru owners forums says that the procedure is described in the owner's manual. I'm going to check my manual right now.

OK, I did it!

There is a round plastic "Bulb Housing Cover" the you will see the wires going into, you need to rotate this cover COUNTER CLOCKWISE and it will slide back about 4 inches. POOR Design on Subaru's end, you need small hands to reach around the cover and remove and install the ne bulb.

Next Step:

Remove the BLACK Wire Connector that goes into the bulb. There is a red wire as well, but the black wire is the one to remove.

Remove the "Bulb Retention Spring" out of the way.

Grasp the bulb by the metal end and remove with a slight twist and pull straight out.

Reinstall new bulb. Do Not Touck the Glass on the Bulb as any skinoil can ruin the bulb, use a bit of paper towel or a clean cloth if you need to touch the glass.

Reattach the Bulb Retention Clip

Reattach the Black Wire.

Reinstall the Bulb Housing Cover by rotating it Clockwise.

Not too bad, took me about 3 minutes.

Subaru could have made access a lot easier!!

3.3 Camlock Mirror Removal procedure: (Common Method) " Grasp the base of the mirror.

" Rotate 90 degrees left or right.

" Slide mirror downward toward dash to remove.

Well my 2000 Impreza holds 3.75 L ... Your best bet is to CAll subaru !!! They will be able to tell you right away... The other option is to look in a search for specs on your make and model of car... it should come up According to my Chilton manual the 1984 Subaru GL holds between 10.8 and 12.6 pints, unless it is a 4WD then it should hold between 12.6 to 13.6 pints.

I am not going to swear to this but I belive it has a breaker which resets after the excessive load is no longer on the circuit.Power window fuses are not common for vehicles the breaker is the typical setup

That would be Fugi heavy industries CO (fhi)

It would be best to change the timing belt at or before 100k miles.

The book I looked in has some printing missing BUT it looks like the ignition module could be mounted below the steering column. It is in some Subaru's. Hope this helps.

no it is not

Open the 2001 Subaru engine compartment hood. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the headlight. Remove the headlight assembly bolts. The headlight will come out. Reverse the process to install the new headlight.

The 2004-2007 models have 300Hp, the 2008-2009 have 305.

The coolant temperature sensor on a Subaru is located on top of the engine near the upper radiator hose. It constantly updates the vehicles computer to regulate the speed of the cooling fan.

no they are not, wrx are more of sport cars

There are many variables that can make any engine "erratic" on acceleration.

These can range from poor quality/contaminated fuel, defective spark plug wires, to a defective sensor etc.

Best advice is to get a diagnostic reading (off the ECU) to zone in on the problem. This should save time & money in the long run, instead of swapping parts "on a hunch" & hoping to catch the problem.

Electronic Controlled Suspension. That's a nice thought, but, I'm pretty sure this is Subaru's version of the 'Check Engine' light. Electronic Stability Control

There is a company in Australia that has designed a supercharger for the 2.5 Rs (ej253). It makes the Rs equal to the wrx. But that's really all youll get out of the ej253. It doesn't handle more that 6psi well and the block doesn't have the same cooling as an wrx/sti block. To rebuild it with all the parts would be a waste when you can find an wrx/sti engine block for the price you would pay building up an ej253.

make sure you have vaccum to the transducer, i believe there will be 2 hoses coming from the throttle body. make sure that the metal line that connects to the bottom of the transducer is not clogged with carbon. if you have vaccum and that line is clear, take the hose that goes to the egr vsv solenoid off the transducer and rev the engine up. if it is good you will have vaccum through the transducer, if its bad no vaccum will be there.

Trouble code P2097 means: Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Rich Bank 1

Check Engine light comes on due to a wide range of possible problems, often automatically disabling the cruise control, leaving it blinking. The problems can range from sensor issues (MAF, Oxygen Sensors, Etc.) to a loose gas cap, to condensation, to a loose connector on a sensor, perhaps even a dying battery, a flaky alternator or a faulty battery terminal connection. It is a catch-all problem indicator. If you are lucky, you can simply reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a minute, and the Check Engine light will be gone and cruise control will work. If the error persists, you need to get the error code (if you do not have a code reader or accesspoint, stop by Autozone or somewhere similar and get them to read it for you) see what the error is, and fix the problem. Simple? Hopefully it's not something more troublesome, bad injector, etc.
