im getting codes 22 knock sensor 24 air control valve 32 oxygen sensor and 35 canister perge solenoid valve i need some help locating this stuff and what i need to buy to fix it cuz i tryed to look it up in my haynes but it didnt say anything about what i was trying to look for this is all for a 91 legacy L thx

have you cleared the codes to see if they show up again?

yea ive cleared them and re did it same codes keep poppin up this is the first time ive done it my told me it was allredy put on the computer but i seriuosly dought that

you do know how to check the codes yourself right?

yea i read on this site that your suppose to connect two black connecters with the car completly off then turn it to on and then the check engine light starts blinking the codes i specified up top are the codes i got

When you cleared them did they completely go away in R-mode (2 black connectors) ? If they did you should have gotten the all clear which is alternating on off flashing of equel lengths. If it didn't then they didn't clear and you're reading the same old codes. I'd also do a D-check. There are two green connectors down under the driverside dash too. When you hook these together you can go for a drive and get codes for any active problems that may be occuring. You can get directions off of Josh's website on the exact procedure.

ok so how do i clear it then do the check u said?

thanks i feel kinda stupid though cuz i was lookin through my haynes and i found all the info in there about d-check and all the scan tools and everything i needed to know thanks for your help though =/

throw that haynes away, all the info you'll ever need is either in previous topics here http://bbs.legacycentral.org/search.php on josh's http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru or dave's http://www.legacycentral.org site.

the haynes is no good? lol i was gonna use it to install new cv axles and do my brakes. its got to be good for some thing,no?

Ya, don't throw it away. It is pretty good for most things. The section on checking the codes isn't very good though.

it's no better than just asking someone what you should do. A waste of 8 bucks IMO

Well, my Haynes actually helped me do pads and rotors on all 4 corners, a timing belt change, crank seal and both cam seal replacement's, replacement of both front axles, a wheel bearing replacement, radiator flush, O2 sensor check, Knock sensor check, well you get the point. Well worth the money IMO.

yeah it's got all that info in there, but the majority of it is inaccurate. Much better info can be found by searching.

I'll agree that there is a lot of incorrect info in the Haynes but when your up to your elbows in grease, oil and engine grime it can be a little inconveniant to get on the copmputer and start searching for info. Plus, even when the info is wrong it's usually close enough to keep you on task. IMO the Haynes did pretty good on almost all my tasks and proved well worth the small amount of money spent.

I agree with Matt... it's not worth much, but it's definitely not worthless. And it's always good to have multiple opinions on how to do something.

i still need to install new axles would it be good for that or no?

Well, keep it handy to look at, but I recommend searching this web site... Several people have written up little quick instructions. Find a few and print them out.

ok im gettin mad im not gonna mess with the code stuff no more im jusy gonna pay the 70$ and take it to my local subaru dealer and have them put it on the computer.cuz i tried to clear the codes by disconnecting the ground that goes to the battery and waited like an hour then reconnected it then with the key still out i connected the 2 green connecters then turned the key on it just kept flashing 3's in intervals so i started it up drove around the block then shut it off (wires still connected) then turned it to on and started flashing codes i think i couldnt right them down cuz i didnt have a pen or paper so i shut it off went to go get a pen and paper tried to do it again it wouldnt flash the codes it just kept flashing the 3 so i just gave up after about 2 hours

if im doing something please let me know cuz id rather fix it myself then any one else i dont trust machanics these days
