Hi sounds like a fuel pump maybe on its way out, could also be a clogged fuel filter if it hasnt been changed for a while causing pressure loss in fuel line, i would also check the idle control valve as these play up from time to time, the easiest way would be to drop into a garage and get them to do a quick ecu fault code read out that takes maybe 10mins and it will tell you exactly whats wrong without replacing parts that arent faulty

If the battery and brake lights come on it usually means that the battery isn't getting charged. Either the belt for your alternator broke, or the alternator is not putting out power to charge the battery.

I would check to make sure the radiator is full and the overflow tank is filled to the proper level. It doesn't have to be very low for these cars to stop blowing heat.

hi yes ticking in early model subarus is very a common valve/lifter prob in most cases a decent oil change or anti ticking treatment can quieten it or stop the noise altogether however in some cases the noisy part may be damaged beyond repair and need to be replaced

Try cleaning the IAC valve

A very common problem with these cars, unfortunately you have blown headgaskets.

Time for a new clutch, sadly.

In 199l they were cable so I would look under the dash at the top of the peddle. Wiggle it and make sure everything is connected and not broken. If it is hydraulic there wont be a cable up there it will be a bar going into the cluctch master cylinder. Look for wet look (leaks) around the cylinder and wall. or peeling paint can be a sign of leakage. Then check under hood for fluid in the resivoir. if ok follow the lines to transmission and check clutch slave cylinder on trans. for leakage. Leaking indicates failed part and needs replacing. After repair proper bleeding is required to restore functionality.

The sockets are probably sold at your local parts store. Just drive in and ask for assistance from one of the people who work there and they should be able to assist and for a small tip, even put them in...

I got the same probleme here did you fix it??

Try some fuel injector cleaner. Always start with the cheep solutions before jumping in to the more expensive ones.

check your coolant level. If you have a leak, you could have air in the system preventing flow thru the heater.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6235876-no_heat_fan_blowing_cold_air . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

Head gasket.

a loose belt will squeal. it is slipping. This is the alternator belt. its spinning the alternator just enough to give power. having a loose belt is dangerous, it can come off while driving, getting caught in something, or leaving you on the side of the road. you can get a friend to tighten the belt for you (sure you know someone that works on their own car). check the belt for over wear, or cracks or even a tear. Once the belt is tightened, take you care to the auto parts store, and ask them to check for the proper charging from the alternator. Most do this for free(I even do this at my shop), this is the best advise I can give you. hope this helps

have you recently replaced alternator many aftermaket alternators cause interferance with crank sensor I spent months trying to figure that one out if you havent replaced alt start with cleaning idle air valve

Cylinders are 1-3 on the LEFT side front to back and 2-4 are on the RIGHT side standing at the FRONT of the engine.

There is two Green single wire plugs under the dash, driver side, above your left leg (rh drive) plug them together, engine check light will flash, www.auto-diagnostic-codes.com will help to read codes

The problem is probably the Oxygen sensor and you will need to go to garage to fix this . Requires special tools.

YOU HAVE TO REPLACE GASKETS ,HAVE TO CHECK AN MAKE SURE THE ALUMINUM HEADS ARE NOT WARPED,THAT IS MACHINE SHOP WORK

OEM size for the 92 Legacy , both wagon and sedan, is 185/70-14
