    Hey folks, My Outback has been in the NE USA all its life, so there's more than usual rust on her. 166 000 miles on the clock. Recently the engine light would flash at high rpms (getting thrills on open roads), and then it flashed a few times and stayed on under those conditions. It brings up...

    Hey Everyone, I have a 2006 Subaru Outback Turbo, 4 cylinders (most times), 150K miles Timing belt was just replaced about 10K ago - Turbo overhaul as well. The car looks and ran great most of the time, except once in a while (about every 50 miles of use) when driving on the freeway ~60 - more...

    Heyyo, I was sitting in my car (2001 Outback L.L Bean) with it in park in a parking lot when I get these three codes from a check engine light without actually hearing/noticing anything from the engine. I had an OBD2 reader to check it immediately, but I didn't hear anything from the engine...

    Hello everyone! My name is Matheus and I own a 6-cylinder 2007 outback. The car got a recent head gasket service and temperature seems fine now, but I'm having an issue regarding fuel and the behaviour at low rpms. I know there are a few posts like this, as I looked upon most of then for...

    After a misfire code (cylinder 2) sent my 2012 outback 2.5 to the shop, after 5 hours of tests the only thing out of spec was my leakdown results for cylinder 2 (30). Compression test is good, valve stem seals are good, oil control solenoids measuring spec, wiring harness to cylinder 2 was...

    My 2012 3.6R, 166k miles, has recently started driving a bit funny under load. In 5th gear when I hit the gas she struggles to go sometimes and the RPM needle will bounce up and down before shooting up. The car does shake a bit in correspondence. I was thinking it was driving very similar to...

    Not an outback, but a 2006 B9 Tribeca with a H6 engine, 149k miles. Throws a P0301 code, swapped coils with another and still misfires, removed and inspected spark plug and it looked good, removed fuel injector and cleaned with brake/carb cleaner, still misfires on cylinder 1. I'm stumped. Bank...

    Hello I'm having an issue where my 2002 subaru outback h6 with 240000 miles on it is misfiring at idle and hesitates when accelerating from a full stop. The car feels fine when driving 20 mph or more but struggles in reverse especially. the engine codes I have are p0302, p0304, p0306, p0175, and...

    Hello. So unfortunately for the past 2 months after returning home from my job in fire prevention in California, right when I get my time off to build my overlanding rig and camp it up; my outback decided it was going to crap on me at 109,800 miles. After being to a mechanic that was only...

    Hi! So I have a 2004 Outback. I got it as a gift from my grandma about 2 years ago. It has a lot of miles on it, though at the moment I don't know exactly how many as I am not directly in front of it. The whole time I've had it, the CEL has been on. The code is p0420, so the catalytic converter...

    My 2.5i starts most of the time. When it doesn't, it almost sounds like the starter motor is giving up but after replacing it and having the exact same symptoms, I starting looking elsewhere. I replaced the fuel pump and spark plugs, Did an exterior cleaning of the throttle body and ran through...

    Replacing the ignition coils in my 2011 outback 2.5I. 1st coil came out it was a little hard to pull out, but came out. The second one came out, but left the bottom inside. Anyone know if I can get it out without taking it to the shop?

    I just had a 60K mile service done at a local mechanic (reputable place). One dealership wanted $750, the other one wanted $1000 (but this included a maybe unnecessary CVT and Trans Axel fluid change, they even told me that the fluid changes were not just recommended, but required). I chose...

    I have 2002 H6 Outback wagon. The ECM will register misfire on #6, #2 and #4. Sometimes on one of them, sometimes on two of them, and sometimes on all 3. The engine was totally rebuilt 30k ago. Subaru has run all tests, changed plugs, and cannot figure it out. Runs great, gets 21-24 mpg. Uses no...
  15. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Started my car this morning, 29°F outside. It took a second longer to start than normal and was shaking very noticably, and the CEL was flashing. I scanned the codes and found P0303 and P0306, a misfire in cylinders 3 and 6. Anybody know why only these two cylinders would be malfunctioning...

    I have a 2001 LL Bean. I replaced original engine (~142k miles, head gasket issues) with a JDM EZ30D in August. The only thing I replaced on the JDM was a/c compressor, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, transmission cooler lines, pcv valve, thermostat, radiator and associated hoses. JDM wiring...

    Ive done lots of searching around but I thought Id make a post to get some feed back too. My outback with 150k on it had started to do minor studdering around 145k but it had not affected driving enough to matter... When the studdering first began I searched it up and decided it was an issue...

    My 2011 Outback 3.6R has been a great car but there is a misfire problem that causes the CEL to come on, brake and traction lights to flash, and cruise control to be disabled. The car has about 105,000 miles and is in good condition. Generally it happens on a cold start, and then the engine runs...

    So I was under the hood and I felt a little shock through the sheath of one of my plug wires. I get a misfire code for cylinder 3 and 4 occasionally. Are my wires bad? They arent ngk, they might be duracheapos. I changed them about a year ago.
