are you sure? i think it could be something with suspension its like a 20 year old car..

So another problem.
I heard a rubber rubbing noise when I steered to the right to complete a turn it was still there after but disappears... CV BOOT?

Another problem!. When I start my car from cold, I don't really let it warm up since i'm usually in a rush (i know bad right?) Yesterday, I experienced a lack of power for the first time between 1st gear and 2nd gear I tried pressing for more gas (aka power) nothing happened so I didn't want to stri...

Hi guys, I have a 1990 Subaru Legacy LS Sedan. It has presented me with some problems currently. This one is the most frustrating because its cool where I am and the windows fog up. I try to switch on my defroster for my front window and theres NO AIR blowing. No air pressure at all. I think this st...

Got my problem diagonsed by both subaru and mister transmission they both got the code 12 duty solenoid b so i decided to get mister transmission to replace the solenoid for only 350. After it runs a little bit better and didnt have any problems. Yesterday when i got back from my vacation the power ...

After reading over previous posts... i had a couple questions! 1) it seems like it could be the VSS1 or 2? 2) how do you check the TCU? 3) what is needed to check the TCU? 4) how do you check codes on the ECU as well..? 5) my power light blinked a couple more times then usual. so this is why im aski...

Yes.. well heres the problem this morning my car died. when trying to start it illuminates the dash but no spark or ignition.. so then i give it some gas.. and try again.. boom it starts.. later on in the afternoon when im off work.. i start smelling dog doo smell.. it went away when i gave it a car...

yea it backs down when i touch the pedal

basically this is the problem: "The idle goes high when its cold started, around 2k rpm then holds there... it drops when i click it into N or D When its warm/hot it turns on around 1,5 ish then drops to .5 which i believe is where it should be.. Dont know if this is relevant but i lost power t...

Really an annoyance then a issue.. Heres the problem as Josh would know.. My idle has been going bonky for a couple weeks now.. and i have CONCLUDED that the idle is responsible for my transmission shift timing... just cause its smoother when i adjust the idle via the screw on top of the TB. We sort...

no thanks..
now that its running like a pro..
im leaving it.. till something needs changing..
like spark plugs wires.. cap rotor.. something simple..
this was simple but a bad mistake on my part

thanks josh again

josh your right it was the TPS SENSOR>.<
nicely done smart guy PROPS!

josh.. found the problem and you were spot on.. i just didnt believe it till it was fixed.. Yes we did touch the TPS sensor.. we moved it like 1/8 1/10th off the normal painted line.. i think my mechanic unloosened the screws.. and moved it and bam.. 2x less shaking 2x less headaches 2x BETTER idle ...

yea...

nothing.. i could of knocked it with the intake cleaner..

ok so im having the same problem as you guys.. but ... i didnt have this problem.. previously.. (before i screwed around) in the idle area.. i was losing getting a surge of power during startup.. that was taken care of with a new pcv valve.. the old one was original and rusted like nobodys business....

i got rid of my "surge/flux" of power during startup with a TB clean and idle adjustment (which i shouldnt have touched) ive resetted the ECU and closed the idle screw right now it seems fine.. i think part of the problem is the air way to your tb or.. something clogged.. we did a through ...

thanks buddy..
hopefully it isnt hard..

ok.. well i think i touched the TPS.. sensor..
but.. i see the paint your talking about and its about lined up.. so.. no harm no foul.. HOPEFULLY:p

well something that might be of interest..
when i fiddle with the idle screw
it seems that the transmission AFTER either
finds the gear when the idle is higher
or.. searches and finds it later when the idle is lower..
any thoughts?

hahaha found it.. in the daylight.. thank god.. it only costs.. 17cents for a new one though buying 4.. special order though ummm the idle is connected to the transmission shifting i believe considering if i tuned up the revs the transmission finds the next gear better... if the revs are lower the t...

im still thinking its.. something in the tranny
maybe clutch plate or. the gears..
not too sure unless i take it off
which i will in doubtly wont do.. unless i know full on what im doing

the black electronic connector thats "BLACK"
in this photo

ah i see thanks jamal..
ill probably find it when i get the part for swapping

ok well i have never touched a subaru legacy before thats why im asking..
so i dont touch the screws then?
just flip the tab and swap?

Is it just the two screws when u pull it out?
or is it some complicated.. replacement technique?
