I have a 2001 Subaru outback 2.5 I've done the fuel filter the fuel pump 02 sensors battery ignition coil wire and spark plugs it sounds flooded only three 2 codes when I hooked it up and that was front and back o2 sensors

Sounds as if your fuel pressure regulator has gone bad. You didn't say what codes the O2 sensors tripped. I would change the regulator before chasing down the sensor code. I hope this helps. Take care.

My 2001 outback has manual transmission. Original

Not fitting is the issue, not the Cold Cranking Amps. You want the most CCA you can get in the size that fits. What CCA means is you have more power to crank the car longer before the battery dies.New batteries need to be charged (the parts store should make sure of that) before installation or else you could/maybe/possibly overload the alternator. Once the battery is fully charged it makes no difference to the alternator because you are still using the same amount of power but from a larger battery capacity.That being said if someone installed a 550CCA battery (that fit) into your car instead of the 420CCA and didn't tell you, you would never know it. The 550CCA is just a heavier dutier battery.

Sounds like your timing marks are incorrect, make sure align with the MARKS, not the DOTS on the cams.

How to change power steering pump on a 3.0 engine

Quite likey you just have a bad o-ring. before condemning the pump, look inside the PS fluid tank while idling. If there are bubbles/foam in the fluid, you probably just need an o-ring on the suction hose adpater on top of the pump. http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/66-problems-maintenance/40884-how-does-air-get-into-power-steering-system.html

Help me figure out if it's the Alternator or thermostat please?

My best guess is that you have a broken wire or short in the power to your instruments. This is the only thing that would affect so many different components in the same area, dashboard. The main wiring for the dash come up form the fuse panel on the left side by your left foot. Maybe you will be luckiy and find a loose connection there. j

Regarding a 2001 Subie outback. In intermittent and low speed my wipers travel the proper distance while on the highest setting the drivers side blade travels past the windshield. Any thoughts?

this issue is commonly caused by worn out bushings in the wiper linkage. They are fairly easy to replace just pop out the damaged one and match it up with a new one and pop it back in. Below is a pic of the replacement ones that come in a multi pack made by dorman 25673671-kmcjfi30ya0jexy1wiziirab-2-1.jpg subaru wiper linkage 25673671-kmcjfi30ya0jexy1wiziirab-2-2.jpg

Why is my heater not working in my 2001 subaru outback?

Emmit. I assume it blows air, just not hot? If that's the case, the control valve is faulty or probably unhooked. It will be in the heater hoses visable under the hood. Look for an unhooked cable (if its cable type..very visable) or unhooked or damaged vacumn line. Good luck.

Code p0340, p0462 on subaru outback 2001

Po340 is a cam shaft sensor and po462 is low voltage on your fuel guage. So i assume you are haveing fuel level issues. If you can turn wrenches you can do these repairs yourself. Just do a google search and you can get some youtube videos of sensor replacement and location. Have fun.
