kyle6241 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 every now and again when driving 40 to 60 mph the engine will cut out momentarily and then start pulling again normaly it makes you start looking for a place to get off the road and so far it has alway started working again normally for a time and then do it again any ideas to correct this problem Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Wiring. Start with the positive and negative battery connections. Then engine grounds. Then the engine harness connectors on the right side where the engine and transmission join. You want there to be nice clean metal for the connections. No light bluegreen powder. No dark color metal.

Setnev Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Any check engine light when it happens? Cut outs usually stem from lack of fuel, air, or spark so that's where I'd start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle6241 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Now after cleaning the connections the starter wont even run I had my wife hold the key in the start position and then I wiggled all the connections to see which one was connecting to the starter and even while wiggling all the connections the starter will not even click I checked the fuses in the box under the hood and they all seem to be ok and as I write this I just thought maybe there is more fuses under the dash and will go and look later Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle6241 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 for some reason the key switch is not activating the solenoide to start the starter where is the solenoide at Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Solenoid is on the starter itself. There's a wire that comes out of the harness that goes directly to the solenoid and is a little flimsy and fragile bastard. Its a little black connector on the back of the solenoid that is easily broken. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/subyrs1/Subaru%20RS/STEP5.jpg In this photo it is the connector circled in blue.
