In fact, I think I still have it. If you can pass emissions I wouldn't worry too much.... or at least, I don't. Mine is 2000 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:55:02 GMT hotchkissfire1 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17569 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17569 ... I checked some other forums, it's common. there is a device that positions your throttle so the engine doesn't slow down to fast, and returns to normal Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:08:04 GMT ~Deanna~ http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17568 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17568 Hi, I am pulling a code P1507. (Idle control system fault - fail safe mode.) Anyone with any experience with this or have an idea of what the problem is?

Royal Purple's good too; that's what I use in my MR2's transaxle.

I'm in Washington. I looked at our Washington AAA site and all I could find Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:45:11 GMT jimrl8 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17563 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17563 Check it out here: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:39:52 GMT jimrl8 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17562 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17562 What about the 2.2l's...? When I did my search for the spark plug ring leaks I didn't come up with any head gasket accounts here... Must be the search Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:35:04 GMT james_2002obs http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17561 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17561 Are you SURE it's AAA owned and operated? I've never heard of the AAA being in the automotive business; only that approve shops, and subcontract out to tow Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:18:17 GMT james_2002obs http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17560 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17560 Much discussion? Absolutely. At about 70k miles the check engine light on my 2002 2.5 came on, and I noticed some coolant on my driveway under the left Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:55:25 GMT jimrl8 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17559 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17559 I wonder...has there been much discussion on the forum regarding head gasket leaks in the '2nd generation' models? I know quite a few people had to replace Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:48:32 GMT jimrl8 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17557 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17557 Well, I had the work done over the weekend. The shop is actually a AAA-owned and operated shop, rather than an 'approved service center'. Since the new clutch Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:25:11 GMT moore_melinda http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17556 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17556 Thanks for all the replys guys. The car seems to be running fine for me now with no leaks. I just need to get a new set of tires before winter driving kicks Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:15:04 GMT hotchkissfire1 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17555 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruimprezaoutbacksport/message/17555 I don't think you'll find much more, if any, savings by continuing to shop, but I would keep looking around for a independant shop that specializes in subies
