Problems with my car:
1. Broken clock.
2. Inaccurate gasoline level meter / gauge: I ran out of gas at half tank, then meter drops from half tank to empty.
3. Car dies when I start it up, I have to tab the gas pedal to start the car when that happens.

1. Need new clock
2. Need new fuel pump? fuel filter? It might have to do with the repair I got on the rear passenger side fender / quarter panel.
3. New new spark plugs? coil pack?

What do you knowledgable peeps think? Regardless, I think I will bring my car in for a check up. Either Suby Specialties or Aerosim or maybe even South Coast Subaru or Santa Monica Subaru. Then again, SMS has terrible service.

 

SMS is under new ownership and new staff. its all subaru now. (no more lincoln, mercury crap) So there is a lot more area for subarus to be worked on rather than the 3 lifts that they had only for subaru. Supposedly it's supposed to be a lot better now.

 

Thanks for the notice Mark. In this case, I might consider giving them a try. Does any one have any clue about my problems? #1 isn't all that important.

 

fuel level sender #2

#3 could be alot of things

is it cold when it stalls

it could be your clutch still

 

I just realized how bad of a sentence that was.

 

fuel level sender? hmm...

the car is ok when it's all warmed up.

the hesitation feels like it's about to run out of gas... how it chokes and dies but it doesn't really die.

 

so it stumbles when its cold?

 

iono it maybe the fuel filter

 

only on first gear.

 

meh mine does the same thing

 

but it wasn't until recently.. after the body repair.. on the rear passenger fender (where the gas door is) did I realize that my car does that.

 

char coal canister?

 

i'm so lost.

 

wtf is the point of the little charcoal **** behind the bumper?

esplain

 

ok its a black box INFRONT of the rear bumper

its for emissions
