this sounds like an ignition problem. change the spark plugs the flashing check engine light is for misfires and the most common cause is worn spark plugs. this can also be caused by old spark plug wires or a bad ignitor. now if your speedometer is not working that is electronic on this model. get the wiring inspected starting at the transmission end. if the wiring is good then replace the speed sensor

there are a couple of possible causes. I have found many older subaru's end up with poor ground connections for the fuel pump. Have the shop that changed the pump test the connection at the sending unit which is located behind the back seat under an access cover. if the connections are good then check the fuel pressure regulator. it uses rubber seals and they fail with age. lastly if the above items are good i suspect the fuel filter might need changing.

What year is the vehicle ? Probably a bad fan control module .

you could try a stop leak for transmissions but if it comes out fast while driving it may be a really bad seal and stop leak may not work. Over 1,000 as motor must be pulled.

remove complete rack and push bushes in/out using correct tool. refit rack and refill fluids.

Pull spark plug and check for spark.

If it's mega cold in your area, it could be ice. We've had several things not open lately. All due to moisture/condensation freezing. Just a tho't.

Sounds like a fuse and you should have a diagram on your fuse box that tells you which fuses are what.

never heard of it 10w-30 is too thin for an old engine try 20w-50 and make sure that a quality oil filter was used

Look for a bad ground.

replace the failing drive belt and make sure it is tensioned correctly the noise is from a slipping belt and the battery problem is because the alternator is not charging because of the drive belt problem

I think you should buy repair manual first for your vehicle after that it will be easy for you to solve the problem. Check the link may be you will find something useful here 2005 Subaru Legacy

There is a drain plug on the transmission pan for draining, I would check the transmission mounts, they may be broken, a good way to do this is stick a crowbar between the transmission and cross frame and pull down raising the rear of the transmission, if they are broken you will see them separate.

hmm thinking --- i suspect the crankshaft sensor first if that doesnt cure the problem then maybe a faulty transistor or chip in the computer ? best i can offer is to ask a local mechanic to have a look or the most likely the cheapest way out ? and dont laugh - the main dealer
