20 Most Recent 2003 Subaru Impreza Questions & Answers

First, it may seem obvious, but check the fuses associated with the remote unlock. Next, go to Autozone or somewhere like that where they have a remote tester. That will tell if the remote is functional. If the remote works and the fuses are good, see if you can find out how to program remotes to it. It may have forgotten the code for that remote.

Not overly familiar with Subarus, but they're all just nuts and bolts lol. Pretty much all outside handles must be removed from the inside. Start by pulling the inside door panel off by finding and removing the securing screws and then lifting it in an up and out fashion. The panel is usually held in place by plastic grommits and a few usually will break in this process (it's just how it is) but it's not critical. Now that you have access you'll most likely have to remove/disconnect the door latch rod and possibly the locking mechanism to reach the outside 'skin' of the door and access to the inside of the handle. From there it should be pretty straight forward to remove and replace it with a new one. Good luck!

At very cheap rates you can go for manuals from this store. Just check 2003 Subaru impreza

This is indicative of a transmission problem. You need to take the car somewhere and have them read the error code from the transmission controller. After that, you can decide what to do next to repair it.

If its a simple rough idle consider a few things given you have a Subaru. Your basic spark plugs and even coils at this point with mileage. Goods foundation for well taken care of high mileage cars. The engine has proven its self, just keep taking care of it. Another thing to check if you do this and its still acting up is Subaru has issues with coolant getting corrosive and "eating" away at the head gaskets. If this is an issue you will have noticed a bit of coolant being lost. Check the spark plugs for coolant contamination Via google images or something. They get very clean because in a sense an internal leak does a kind of steam cleaning in a very distinct way. Next would be check for an external leak which should not cause rough idle, but low coolant and over heating is easy with your engine design. Air pockets are too easy to get on your design. Do what is needed to keep coolant sealed and air pocket free. Rough idle should also check vacuum hoses for cracks with high mileage. Rubber cracks and gets weak over this amount of time exposed to high heat of an engine. It just happens, its a rubber product. Silicone hoses are the best if you can get a hold of them. Pricey, but well worth it if you plan on keeping this or any car you plan on keeping to go this long. Anything else would need more testing that would require different tools and diagnostic evidence to go further. Good Luck

There may be a trouble code in memory for the drive train, could be a history code that wasn't cleared after a repair or could a present code. You should have it checked for codes, If you have noticed a problem in shifting or tight circles (like in a parking lot) skidding or bind-up, then there is a problem, usually in the rear of the transmission transfer clutch assembly solenoid valve.

it is situated in the engine compartment its a little black box on the right hand side when facing the motor

Double check from the throtle to the fire wall. It might be bendmai

Put it back to stock,your messing upthe MAF Sensors ability to tell the computerhow much air flow you have in grams per hour,so you have little fuel control now

most likely the turbo, if its a darker or bluish smoke.
