Sounds like you may have a dirty fuel filter. The symptoms you have described point towards the fuel filter being partially clogged. Install a new one, because they are not cleanable.

A dirty air filter will prevent adequate air from entering the engine thus reducing gas mileage. Worn spark plugs or a weak spark (defective spark coils) can do the same. A defective "upstream" oxygen sensor (in the exhasut system) can lower fuel mileage. It forces the engine computer to guess at combustion efficiency without feedback from the sensor. It will err on the "rich" side to save the engine, which means it wastes gas. A "check engine" light will be "on" if that is the problem. In winter, more alcohol is added to gasoline in cold climates to due to the lack of photosynthesis in the region (to make oxygen for us to breath.) Reduced fuel mileage results. Alcohol burns cleaner (and cooler) but it contains less energy (BTU) per gallon than "straight" gasoline. For example, E85 won't take you as far as a tank of regular gasoline. If your car is designed to use 87 octane fuel, there is no need to use higher octane fuel. Higher octane fuels are for "high performance" engines with increased compression ratios. High octane fuel burns "slower" in the cylinder (to help avoid "detonation") so that the engine can take advantage is its greater compression ratio and advanced igntion timing to make more power. If your Legacy has a turbo, it will likely require the use of premium gasoline to avoid "detonation" under boost. Otherwise, "cheap", 87 octane gas is fine.

check the fuses for the low beams they are in the under hood fuse box. I have had cars with poor grounds and a bad headlight switch too

The bendex (starter gear) spring is bad or the shaft it rides on is very dirty. If you have the skill to tear down the starter then you can replace the bendex. If not, it's time for a new starter.

try a new battery in the remote

-Check speedometer cable. It could be bad (Won out, loose connector)Mai

check first code what it is,

when the light is on there is a code most big box parts stores will scan it for free the code will lead you in the direction of the problem and subaru cruise light flashes when the light is on so look at the code and the light will go out

if it seems worse on damp days check the wiring harness to the fuel pump and look for corrosion. after that check your battery cables.

hi the relays are located under the hood in a black box near the passenger side under a cover, open it up and they should be labelled

Hi Lee,I'm not sure if the programming in that particular vehicle will disable traction control and/or cause the cruise control light to flash because of a faulty knock sensor. There is no way for a repair technician to know all the factors behind the software in your system. You MAY have separate problems with the cruise - then maybe not.The only thing I can tell you for sure is that Subaru knock sensors are prone to failure due to cracking. The outer shell gets cracks in it and then moisture gets in and corrodes the field windings inside the sensor shorting them out. (SEE PICTURE)"Reflashing" your computer or resetting the codes will not work if this is the case. You will have to replace the knock sensor FIRST, then reset the computer memory.

HI,
Push the key then turn it to the Left then pull it out.

bent rim

yes on certain models built for the swedish market

short circuit may have been the issue.. would happen to know where's the fuse box??? thats the basic troubleshooting...

blower motors are regulated by group of resistors that cause the voltage to reduce at different amounts resulting in high to low speeds on the fan. When this fails the motors goes to high speed all the time. These are not expensive or hard to replace. Usually a plug connector and a couple of screws and around $25 will do it. These are located under the dash in the main body of the heater as they rely on air blowing over them to reduce the heat created by the resistance. the side opposite the connector will look like sifferent sizes of wire wound much like a spring to create resistance and slow the blower motor down. Once you have this out you can go to a parts store and ask for a replacement one. good luck
