I dont know about torque but i know i installed it in the exact location and orientation as the old 1, prick of a job haha

I\'ve got most of a service manual for a 1995 legacy. Just a lot of separate files which is annoying but still got good info, PM me if your keen. ;D

No thats the stupid bit only code it had was 22 (knock sensor) which has been replaced so that code has gone, No havent taken it to a garage, but I have had a few mates who are mechanics look at it and one said coils hence they were tested and changed. Thats it.... Must be something the ECU cant read?

Hi guys, After searching and even hijacking someone elses thread i have finally come to the point im having to start my own thread. I recently brought a 96 GTB car is awesome i love it, apart from the useless tyres and... Everynow and then usually during short runs, and usually when just crusing at 50kph the engine will all of a sudden just die (well thats what it feels like) the rpm wont drop but car will have no power at all, if you give it more gas it jumps foward then dies then jumps hiccups then comes right again and your away. If you hold you foot flat to the floor it will hold at 2700-3000 rpm but no more, then take off like a stabed rat! Can hiccup for any length of time, (feels like bunny hoping) then it will come right can be at any temp but usually when crusing at 50kph. Is throwing up no codes at all after repeated readings. Have changed: - Plugs - 2 coils that tested bad - fuel filter - cleaned and tested maf ( seemed okay) - knock sensor Any help would be greatly appreicated. Im just at a complete loss but someone on here must have had this problem before. ;D

I\'ve done a bit of work at Subaru dealer, they use 5w 30 in the new stuff (up to 5 years old i think) and i do believe its motul for the flash stuff (STI\'s,WRX\'s) and just castrol for you normal non turbo stuff. Anything older than that gets 10w/30 magnatec professional or total lubricants 10w/40 for your express service. (Diesels always get the 5w/30 if anyones interested ) In saying that i still put 10w/40 in my leggy and Penrite 10w/50 in the WRX.

KNOCK SENSOR replaced and all is well! have taken for a good drive and all symptoms have disappeared. Better power and fuel economy too. Amazing how much a little black circle can effect how your car runs. ;D Thanks for all your help guys much appreciated. EDIT: Its back with vengeance! ??? , although a lot less violent, have changed plugs and tested coils, all seem to be okay, now seems to have no power low down... Hill starts don\'t really work anymore, have foot flat to the floor as soon as clutch comes out and struggles to gain speed, (mildly annoying when you live on a hill). But as soon as you get over 3k RPM its fine!! Any suggestions?? (better than drving like a madman everywhere )

I have just changed the coolant and a bit made it down the side of the engine, possibly got into and ruined the coil underneath? It does feel like a misfire problem, but then it fixes itself and drives without misfire at all. It happened a few times when driving home tonight (made for and interesting and frustrating trip lol) and i\'ve found that if you floor it, it does seem to minimize the effect so to say, almost pulls itself out of it?? Will try pulling off and testing coils tomorrow. Its going in to a mates workshop on Thursday for a WOF might ask them to have a look.

Which hose is the fuel regulator hose? Better question is where is the fuel regulator? Would this cause these problems? including the knock sensor fault code? Im full of questions now ;D

Hi, Ive had the same sort of problem with my 96 GTB, very intermittent though. :-\ Usually after driving in 4th at 50-60kph the car will start coughing when you try to accelerate, power will all but disappear, even when pushed to full throttle car will not rev past around 3000 rpm. :-[ Then just as randomly it started it will disappear and car will drive completely normally.. no CEL displays at all. Tried pulling codes later on and it comes out with 22 (knock sensor) so i assume that it might be retarting the timing extremely ? but surely that wouldn\'t cause symptoms this severe ?? ??? Hopefully someone will have a miracle cure ;D
