I've had some problems with this car in the past. Then it ran fie for a while and now a new problem came up. When started it runs fine both in idle and motion for the first 30 seconds or so. Then it goes into a misfire mode. Rough idle, poor acceleration, bucking and misfires. It will run at freeway...

My spedo started reading low then over a day went to 0. Thinking that it was an easy fix I just bought a new spedo cable and installed it (along with a bunch of dash lights). Sadly that did not fix it. thats what I get for thinking without testing. The question is: Is it the "elbow" that g...

I'm looking for a few body parts in the PDX area for my 94 legacy wagon. Passenger side front fender. White wold be nice but.... This is the one that takes the longer turn signals. The right front turn signal. Longer type without the yellow plastic. Has 3 pin connector. Lastly the headers for the en...

It stopped raining enough for me to crawl all te way under the car to look it all over. THe drive shaft has a bearing mounted in a frame that is mounted to the chassis before the shaft heads for the rear diff. This frame is bolted to the chassis with some rubber bushings. One of the bushings broke a...

Just did a few miles of a bumpy mountain road. Not even what I would call spirited driving.... The car is a 1994 Legacy wagon 4wd. Non-turbo. I've got a noise or rather a set of noises that I cannot pin down. At first glance you would think bad CV and move forward but.... OK I'm getting a loud thump...

There is a good lesson here, read on. I decided to go ahead an do it in the sleet and snow. Bundle up and cover it with some blue tarps. And dig in. Once I get it down with the timing belt covers off I could see what the problem was. The adjuster was new from the last belt replacement (less than a y...

I finely got out to check the timing. Took forever to find the mark and get some paint on it then still couuld not find it again while cranking the engine. Then there it was at least 40 degrees BTDC. Now we know why the engine will not start. I had the timing belt replaced a year ago but do not reme...

I pulled the fuel line out of the filter and got plenty of flow when the fuel pump relay clicked on. Its really windy and cold here so I will put off checking the timing. That is what it looks like. Could be a frozen tensioner or jumped timing belt tooth for some other reason. I'm not sure that I am...

I've not checked the timing yet. I'll have to do that on monday. Perhaps it did jump. It appears to have spark. I put a plug in it and had someone turn it over and was able to see some spark. Dark outside so it was easier to see. Not as strong as I would like. I'll be able to get back to this on mon...

OK so I got some time in the freezing rain today to look at the wagon. Still won't start. I've replaced the coil with a junkyard pull and ditto for the ignition module. The ignition module does not have the same footprint as the on in the car but the connector is the same. I did have one of the scre...

Thanks to all. I'll see about some more tests after work tonight.

Looks like a good plug. I did only test it with one plug and on one of the (2) coils. I'll give it a try with another plug and on the other coil. No hint of a spark was seen and not much of any firing. I was puzzled too bu the lack of codes. I was trying to list all that I could think of. I presume ...

So it could be the ignition module or the crankshaft position sensor or?? How to test the module? I see that they run $200 form the local parts place (ouch) and about $60 from a used parts online place. Spendy if that is not the problem. I did take off the connectors and tried to see if corrosion wa...

Getting back out to the cold I hook up a spare plug to a plug wire and crank it over. No Spark.... Well, that is at least batter to know what is the reason it won't start . Now to figure out why..... What to look for next?

I went into the store yesterday and left the 94 wagon idling with my family in it (to keep warm). When I got back I started to drive away and the engine died and would not start again. I took the us home and got my wifes car and towed it back home... Hooking up the black ECU wires I do not get any e...

I'd forgotten about the wonders of marvel mystery oil. I only had a few ounces left in the container so I dumped them in. The noise has decreased significantly over time and marvel's oil may have helped. The noise is still there but much reduced. I expect that it is HLA and is due to air in the adju...

My 94 wagon (188k) has a new noise that developed after running for a while with the engine oil 3 quarts down. (Don't ask :roll: ) No oil light was seen (light is on on a stalled engine) There is the loud tapping on cold startup. Then after oil preassure is up the startup noise is gone. On a cold en...

How much for the passenfer side headlight?

Yea, $150 looked too much.

The header did not look case. It was welded pipe.

One more follow up.... The 561 price is for the complete assembly. Headers for both sides, y plumbing and cat. My car broke the header inside the heat shield where the 2 pipes from the head come to 1. This appears to be because the hanger after the cat is also broken and the weight of the cat caused...

Wanted to Buy in the Portland Oregon area for a 1994 white Legacy wagon 5mt 2.2l NON-turbo AWD Right front fender Right headlight assembly Right front turn signal assembly Stock headers and y (to cat) And about a million things more but this will do for now. Or perhaps soon a 5mt transmission with t...

I'm narrowing my tire selection down to the Yokohama Aeges LS4 or Avid TRZ in 195/70-14 for a steel wheel stock 94 legacy wagon. Just looking for a good all round tire that can take me confortable to the mountain snows.

Any experience with these tires?

Just got a price for the 2 to 1 header pipe from my local Subaru dealer....

List is $591.16

I have a stock NA 1994 legacy wagon that has a loud exhaust. I'm not sure of the terms used so here goes. On each head there is a down pipe that feeds a Y that goes to the cat. The right side down pipe leaks inside of the heat shield and can rotate on the Y and is very loud. The left side does not r...
