Fuses numbers seven and five are park lamp supply .

A blown hose was either old, or I suspect the thermostat is not opening. Did you follow the method to clear air pockets in the cooling system when refilling it? Are the radiator fans functioning?

Interesting problem. The gear shift is run by levers and rods, not cables. I suspect that there are problems with a) the rear gearbox mount (e.g. broken); or.and b) engine mounts (broken or loose) that allows the engine/trans to move fwd/back, and this is affecting the gear shift linkage. You should also check the clutch pedal freeplay. I doubt there is ANY problem with the standard transmission.

Sounds like the thermostat is NOT functioning, since when its removed you can (apparently) fill the system. So ... replace the thermostat. Bleed the system as follows: 1. Fill the radiator. Put on the cap, then squeeze the top hose 6 times. You'll likely hear some coolant gurgling. 2. Remove the cap, top up again. 3. Start the engine and let it idle. In about 5 minutes or less, the thermostat will open and the coolant level will lower. Turn off the engine. Go to Step #1. 4. You likely need to do this 2 or 3 times, till the gurgling stops, and you are done.

Sounds like you may have a bad spark plug and or wire, check the wires and plugs, if it's been more than 30,000 miles sence your last tune up, you should do a tune up anyway it may fix your problem.

The fuel pump will only run for a few seconds ,untill the engine starts.And yes i think the relay is the problem ,check a manual to find its location . Or if it was me i would join the Subru forum free to join then ask on the forum .

indicates several problems first is that the scan tool has not got the right protocols for reading the Subaru ECM as there are fuel mixture faults recorded next check the vacuum hose to the turbo vane actuators and that the vanes are free to move next check for loose interchanger hoses and holes in the intercooler

If you've never changed the timing chain on this vehicle, you've gone twice as long as is advised. Not saying that's the issue, but it could be. I've had Subarus for years and change my timing chains at 90K miles, trouble or not.

hi holden69. go to this link might help you to find out why. 1995 Subaru Legacy Radiator fans not running Google Search

If your timing marks are on ... there is spark and fuel you may just have the firing order off ... When checking the firing order be mindful of the rotation of the engine.

My first suspicion is ground cable to battery is loose, corroded or contacting somewhere it shouldn't. Subarus seem to eat ground cables somehow in my experience. Might also be a computer problem but less likely.

in the EVAP system it is possible that the fuel has got into the cannister and you are smelling the fumes from the vent
