LGT random stall coming to idle
08SpecB_DE replied to NVAKeith's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
If it's not consistent, I'd start with cleaning the throttle body and maf sensor. If it persists, it sounds like the iac in the throttle body is going bad. Just recently ran into this issue on an 04 Forester. The problem was worse with the ac on. No codes, fuel trims fine, fixed some split hoses and nothing worked. At a stop, the idle would dip to 500 and slowly go down to around 300. A new throttle body and relearn did the trick! -
Inner/Outer Tie Rod HELP
08SpecB_DE replied to Jolbaru_LGT's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Inner and outer tie-rods can be replaced without doing the whole rack. The boots and outer spring clamps can be reused. The inner clamp can be a pita but like Berge said, a zip tie will work fine. I'd recommend new hardware as well. You will need to rent an inner tie-rod removal tool from your local autopart store. -
P0457 small evap leak
08SpecB_DE replied to Max Capacity's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Did you ever figure it out? I had a 2000 Accord with the 1457 yesterday and it made me think about your car lol -
Critter chewed through fuel evap hose

If its the same size hose, yes it will! -
1996 Subaru Legacy GT-B Emissions Testing
08SpecB_DE replied to capnkirk83's topic in Second Generation Legacy (1994 - 1998)
JDM cars weren't required to have OBD2 until around 2000 if I'm not mistaken. They put the sniffer in the exhaust for obd1 vehicles but don't hook up to the computer. -
Help with a driveline diagnosis
08SpecB_DE replied to libertyordeath's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Not at all and I apologize if I sounded standoffish. Cv replacement is the most common fix when pertaining to a complaint of vibration only on acceleration. I've had shafts pass the visual and physical (check for play) inspection, so they only get you so far. You need to get the car up in the air, safely. A lift is preferred but level ground and jack stands will suffice. Have someone sit in the car and get it up to 40 or 50mph. You should be able to see one axle wobble more so than the others. A shudder sounds more like a transmission, center diff, or rear diff issue but thats just where my mind goes. Liberty: The problem going away sounds a little strange. Not sure if you mentioned that before, but if you did, I'm sorry I missed it. A sticking caliper may be the culprit. Make sure the pistons compress the same on both sides, the guide pins easily move in and out and that the pads are not stuck in the brackets. -

It's a two way valve that is attached to the actual solenoid in the second link. You can test my theory by removing the two way valve to check for fuel contamination. If fuel drips out, she's bad and so is the solenoid. There's a strong possibility the little phillips head screws will be rusted so have a good pair of tiny pliers handy. -

Nope, only in the seat/body. The vibration going away when you let off the gas is your indicator. -

My money is on one or both of the front cv shafts. 9/10 times they fix the problem that you're experiencing. -
P0457 small evap leak
08SpecB_DE replied to Max Capacity's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
P0457 or P1457? What year? There are a couple components that can pass a smoke test but will still cause the code the set. Honda has one of the more basic evap systems when it comes to diagnostics. -
How are you guys still getting covid if you mask up, are vaccinated and social distance? Are you not practicing what you preach or do you think rules only apply to unvaccinated?

05 Legacy GT Not Running Right. Help?

Have you had the battery disconnected? Sounds like an idle relearn unless it's been this way for weeks. -
P0457 small evap leak
08SpecB_DE replied to Max Capacity's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I'm not sure how our canisters compare to the Impreza, but I have replaced just the vent valve on them. They look like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114008112624 I know the description says the word purge, but it is the vent/drain/dump whatever you prefer to call it. -
P0457 small evap leak
08SpecB_DE replied to Max Capacity's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Max- My money is on the vent/dump valve. Purge valve is not related to your symptoms. -
Maybe some places but not here. Odd you say that because they also have a cancer center next to where they treat gun shot victims. Many hospitals are not for profit. Any outstanding money at the end of the fiscal year gets spread out amongst the employees. It's hilarious how many of you pretend to know wtf you're talking about, when in reality, you have zero idea. You guys would be embarrassed if you realized how wrong you were. Again, I'm not here for approval, carry on.

What is the PA? I really don't care if you believe me or not. I'm not here for validation from people who aren't even in the field.

Correct, during the first few months of Covid. I don't recall the exact month but it wasn't long after everything got shut down.
-
I saw the numbers with my own eyes through the hospitals network. There's not someone writing an article and fact checking shit. You guys can cite whoever and whatever you want but I KNOW what I saw is directly from that hospital. Given your response, nothing I said will be considered valid because there's not an article confirming it and fact checkers saying that it is indeed true. I know you guys are used to getting smoke blown up your asses but I'm being 100% straight with you guys.

I'd like to see the real time numbers of the overwhelmed hospitals. Not saying it's a lie but at the height of covid, our local, level 1 trauma hospital was empty. 2/11 ventilators were in use. It was actually the best time to break your leg. A normal 8-9 hour wait was down to 30 min- 1 hour. Shall we look at Israel and say if the vaccine works, why are they having issues? Let me guess....it's the unvaccinated causing all the problems? All medicine goes through clinical trials, except you are the trial for the covid vax. Last I read, Pfizer's trials do not end until 8/2023. If it's so safe, why are the drug companies not being held responsible if something goes wrong? Meanwhile, other drug companies are in court fighting over the opioid crisis and being held responsible for people's drug problems that they did not directly sell to the junkies.

I remember getting the flu shot as a kid and still getting the flu. I was told it was "a different strain" Am I crazy for thinking Covid is the flu strain of the year? The new delta or whatever it's called is this years version. The flu has always affected the elderly and immuno-comprimised more than anyone else. 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Millions out of jobs, thousands of small businesses closed their doors for good. If there's one thing I've learned about our government, it's always "follow the money" Rushed FDA approval for a vaccine that hasn't gone through it's full trial, more shots are necessary because the first 2 or 3 haven't worked. Not sure when the term vaccine changed but when I was a kid, it meant the shot would prevent me from ever getting said illness. I don't watch Fox, CNN or any other news program. I don't listen to any conservative or liberal talk shows before any of you want to come at me with the "Bet you watch X or get your info from Y". My opinion is based on what I see going on around me. If you got the vax, good for you. If you didn't get the vax, good for you. How about we mind our own business and let people live their lives. The unvaxed are not killing the vaxed and vice versa.

more problems caused by excessive oil consumption
08SpecB_DE replied to Hillside Joe's topic in Subaru News & Rumors
Has the dealer been aware of the consumption since 25k miles? If it's documented, perhaps SOA would be more inclined to help? -
Coolant not returning from overflow tank 06 H6
08SpecB_DE replied to MeoW71's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Unfortunately, coolant spewing from the overflow only means one thing, headgaskets. You can buy a headgasket tester if you want to confirm, but make sure the car is close to operating temp before testing.
