Under the dash to the left of where your left leg would sit is a box. 4" x 4". It is your security box. There is either a red button on it or a wire with a button. push the button for about 15 seconds and it will reset the security system. Good luck and have a great day.

Under your steering column theres a box that says subaru on it next to it there should be a rope looking cable with a button on it .turn the key to on. and hold it in for 15 seconds.

My 97 Legacy started to studder when stepping on the gas from a dead stop. It does not seem to studder at higher speeds. Do you thing the Fuel filter may need to be changed?

New battery dead in 1 week.

It sounds like the problem is the voltage regulator. I would check that out first. Hope this helped.
