1998 outback legacy sensor specs

What MIL code did you pull?
There was a tech bulletin on replacing the cam/crank sensors in sets. You determined which ones needed to be updated based on the color and date stamp. Subaru used to replace these free of charge to the customer, but the "kit" is no longer available since they quit doing that. The sensor cost approx $100 each wholesale.
MAF, if you have a scan tool, should show 3 to 3.8 g/s at normal operating temperature idle. Pin testing the MAF is only accurate at specific temperatures so that's not an option unless you can control the temp of the MAF for the period you are testing.
Knock sensors will set the MIL for knock sensor circuit when they fail. You can check it for cracks, corrossion, broken wire.
Did you get a parts list from the parts store that read the code from your ECM?

I was checking out parts on Rockauto.com, and wondered about the quality of head gasket sets. I know that Felpro are supposed to be good, but that’s...- 23

Hesitation
Problems & MaintenanceI'm having problems with my 2013 with a 2.5. It now has 63000 miles and it's starting to hesitate between 1300 and 1700 rpm's. I can barely feel it with the car in park and it's very noticeable with it moving. I haven't had this problem before. I haven't done anything to the trans. I do the...- 2

Passing Inspection?
Problems & MaintenanceHello! New to this forum. Hoping for some insights and advice. Apologies in advance if this is a repeat. Last year I had a heck of a time getting our 2005 Outback inspected. The mechanic kept telling me to drive it so "codes would clear." I didn't then and continue not to understand what...- 3
