  1. So ive had this issue for awhile. Months ago I blew the engine and just got a new (reman) long block put in about a month ago and it still keeps coming back. I've put new plugs in ( before the engine blew ) just put new plugs wires in and I cleaned the MAF the shop put a used coil pack on for free (one they just had and knew worked) they think just dirty injectors but additives have made no change. Symptoms are just a rough idle no milage loss or noticable power loss. I can drive it like a mad man and no issue but if the rpms ever go over 5k the check engine light flashes and stays on. If I never let it go over 5k the light never comes on. Any ideas before I have to take it back in to have it figured out? I'm at a loss
  2. So I ran out of oil but the light literally JUST popped on and the car shut down simultaneously so I don't think completely empty tho. Filled it back up but when I started it it kept dying. Killed the battery trying to start it got a jump but when it started it made a nasty screeching sound.. idk how to explain it now but I know it wasn't the belt... So I shut her down and getting a tow home. Anyone know whats up? Like why would it just die as soon as the oil light pops on? Why wouldn't it stay running after filling the oil back up? Or what that noise could be? All I can find is stuff about seized engines but mine will crank and and start so it wouldn't be that
  3. Yeah Idk it's just what i read a few places and I really wouldn't care if you didn't have to buy a whole pump to get a new switch. I have not done the o-ring yet I was kinda hoping to do that along with the hose which I can't say for sure it's actually leaking but its wet around the clamp to the reservoir. Spark plugs I just did like 2 months ago with the NGK IX Wires I just did a couple days ago when this started actually. It runs a little smoother after those but still does the stutter and shake at low speed turns when it's cold. Not sure I mentioned it before but all symptoms go away once the car is at temp for a little while
  4. 08 legacy 2.5i (sorry it's long just like to get all info in at once) So depending on outside temp my car shakes and shutters like it wants to die at slow speeds like parking or stop lights and signs and it hesitates quite a bit even if I just kick it down and it has significant low end torque loss. there is definitely air in my power steering though everytime it's cold the whole reservoir fills with foam. All I've read is that those symptoms are the power steering pressure switch and if I look at the little wire attached to it is sorta wet looking. Now all that being said the last 2 days were pretty decent temp and I had zero issues. So if it was the switch it would be all the time right? Maybe the pump is just getting way over worked from all the air in the lines and straining the whole car? Also has anyone replaced the molded hose that goes from the top of pump to the reservoir? Mine has a little leak and they want $100 for that hose. Can't seem to find it anywhere and idk if that universal stuff at the parts store would be okay to use.
