Start at the radiator and follow the top hose towards the engine. Its usually where the top hose ends.

The bat/alternator could be bad. Have both tested and replace as neccessary.

Have your alternator checked. It didn't charge your battery enough. Also look at the battery. It may be sulphated and won't charge

90-91, its under the dash, on the left side of the steering wheel. The ECU is the one farther towards the door. Just a side note if you need it, abs controller is under the passenger seat.

Are you saying the blower motor is not blowing any air? Check for power right at the blower motor first.

Sounds like your engine has jumped time or the the timing belt or chain has broke.

It could be your battery , sometimes if your battery is not fully charged then it wont send enough current to the starter.To test this either use a battery charger or jumper cables coming from another vehicle and see if it starts.Otherwise it is your starter.Tap on the starter sometimes this will dislodge the problem with the windings in it. If that still doesn't work then you will have to replace your starter.

On most cars there is a small panel hidden underneath the back seats usually a round disk with three screws ! Normally on the same side as the filler cap ! Hope this helps ;)

Sounds very much like it has blocked the fuel filter ! Easy and cheep fix ! On older cars I try never to run fuel to low as there can be a lot of crap in the bottom of the tank !! Hope this is a help ;)

the marks on the crank should be a line in crank pulley.

could be shift fork thats in the tranny or it you could have snapped the main shaft not an easy fix you might want an expert mechanic to take a look at it good luck

No, too many production changes, too many years different.

Is this one of those plug boots that also seals the hole in the cylinder head around it? The plug might be loose,or missing a gasket(if it is supposed to have one).This would allow cylinder pressure to blow the boot off. Or,maybe the plug's porcelain insulator is allowing cylinder pressure to blow inside the boot.

Something let go in the clutch release and that stalled the engine as you stopped. Go under the car and look for a broken clutch release rod or arm.

Hi,So, both sides are not working? Check for voltage @ the brake light bulb to see if you're getting power. Also, look in the fuses.check out the online Subaru forums, too.GL,Td
