Check fuel pump wiring underneath rear seat, they melt and might short out inside to earth.

SOURCE: E.E.C fuse keeps blowing in 1991 Ford Explorer

if you replaced fuel pump i would look at backward wiring when replaced and i would start at the source of work if your vehicle was working fine before replacement then 9 out of 10 it will be your fuel pump wireing

sometimes when putting wireing back together the connectors have the missing clip and in turn you can turn the wireing in both directions now where positive is touching the ground on both sides of connector kris kross problem check your work this is crucial use a test light to find the right wires where they go

SOURCE: overheating

The 97-99 2.5L DOHC Subaru engines were notorious for this problem, blown head gasket is very likely the cause. It is possible to test for the presence of exhaust gas in the coolant to verify. The reason the car seems to be overheating then cools down quickly when shut off is that the hot exhaust gas displaces the coolant at the top of the engine where the sensor is. If it happens consistently you will need to deal with it, I have worked on an engine that was run many miles under this condition and it damaged the block beyond repair. If you are a decent shade-tree mechanic, it is possible to do the work with the engine still in the car, you will have to raise it up an inch or two to get sufficient access. I have personally done 3 engines with this problem, a 98 and 2 99's.

SOURCE: Cause of noise in front differential of 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback.

there is a plug on the shaft-side of the differential. Using a ratchet remove the plug and with the engine OFF, stick your finger inside the hole and you should get fluid just below the threads of where the plug goes in.

2000 subaru outback has new fuel pump and relay but keeps blowing fuel pump fuse after a few minutes . is there anything else on that circuit

That circuit usually includes these possible components:
A/C Control Module
Body integrated unit
Light control sensor
Transmission Control Module
Engine Control Module
Fuel pump relay
Ignition coil No. 1 (turbo model)
Ignition coil No. 2 (turbo model)
Ignition coil No. 3 (turbo model)
Ignition coil No. 4 (turbo model)

If it takes a minute to blow the fuse then definitely one of components in list is causing too much amperage. try a slightly larger fuse.

I have a 98 legacy outback, and the security system wont allow the vehicle to start. I have pressed the bypass button under the lefthand side of the dash, and still no start. The vehicle will turn ove

Have you tested fuel pressure? If you have no pressure the next step would be to test all relays and fuses. Next jump the fuel pump and see if the pump kicks on. If not, bad fuel pump, if it does fire, then the security system might be disabling the pump. Make sure all fuse and relays are good b

I get a P0 103 code from my 98 subaru outback, which is "Fuel Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage" but nwohere in the manuals can my mechanic or I find where this sensor is or how to replace it

Ken, that sensor is part of the pump/gauge sender unit in the fuel tank. I went through that same wild goose chase on my Legacy. I found a bad solder joint on my unit which I was able to repair, so I now have one left over. If you need a nice used one with about 60K miles on it let me know. tscooter2 @gmail .com

Hope that helps.

Loping idle with a '98 Subauru 2.5

This usually happens when the fuel pump is loosing pressure.

I will just advice you make a replacement on the fuel pump. It is located in the fuel tank beneath the back seat.

Be sure to consider the rating on the fuel pump when replacing.

Good luck and rate my solution.

Starter or solenoid issue on '98 Subaru Outback Legacy

The starter is separate from the soleniod; It could be a part called the bendix on the starter itself. If you can remove it, take it to a auto parts store- they will check it for free.
