#18340 of 18373 Re: Fuel Filter [phil2000] by paisan Sep 25, 2009 (6:04 pm)
Replying to: phil2000 (Sep 25, 2009 5:17 pm) Fuel filters on the Subarus pre 2005 are done 3yr/36k, after 05 they went to an in-tank filter that isn't user serviceable.   -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor Replies to this message: phil2000 (Sep 26, 2009 6:53 am) xwesx (Sep 28, 2009 11:19 am) paisan (Oct 03, 2009 4:47 am) and 2 more... phil2000 (Sep 28, 2009 6:05 pm) ateixeira (Sep 29, 2009 7:40 am)

Replying to: paisan (Sep 25, 2009 6:04 pm) I have a 2000 Forester. So what problems can or did I encounter by waiting till 100k to replace? Replies to this message: xwesx (Sep 28, 2009 11:19 am) paisan (Oct 03, 2009 4:47 am) phil2000 (Oct 03, 2009 5:52 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: phil2000 (Sep 26, 2009 6:53 am) Typically, when the fuel filter is in need of replacement (starts to get clogged), you will notice hesitation, perhaps stutters, etc., due to restricted fuel supply - especially under high-demand situations, such as a down-shift on the highway to pass another vehicle.   At least, that is my experience. I replaced the fuel filter on my '96 Outback once - at about 120,000 miles, and never had any problems. That replacement was merely preventative. I don't know if it had been replaced before that, but I bought it at 83,000 and drove it to 220,000 (so that new filter had 100,000 miles on it, too!).

Replying to: paisan (Sep 25, 2009 6:04 pm) On my Chrysler Laser the filter was underneath the car just forward of the rear passenger tire.

Replying to: paisan (Sep 25, 2009 6:04 pm) Thanks for the info, mike.   It was an easy task on my 98 Forester and our 02 Legacy. Guess it's not even needed any more (good to know).   On my 93 Miata it was under the car, near the passenger side rear tire. That job was SUCH A PAIN, I couldn't believe it. Even the 2nd time around, it still seemed nearly impossible. Everything else was simple, it was just that $#up!d fuel filter...
#18345 of 18373 Diagnostic code 1507 by misuco Sep 29, 2009 (8:06 am)
Idle Control System Malfunction (Fail Safe), code 1507 came up a week ago on my 2002 Subaru Legacy Wagon. I reset check engine light. A week later the check engine light came on again with the same code. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice on what might be causing this? Thanks.

Replying to: misuco (Sep 29, 2009 8:06 am) Have you noticed any change in idle? DTC 1507 is related to the Intake Air Control valve. The IAC valve controls idle speed by controlling air bypassing the throttle plate. It can be affected by deposits and require cleaning. Replies to this message: paisan (Oct 03, 2009 4:44 am)

Replying to: aatherton (Oct 02, 2009 5:11 pm) IAC is easy to change but pretty expensive part.   -mike

#18349 of 18373 Re: Fuel Filter [paisan] by phil2000 Oct 03, 2009 (5:52 am)
Replying to: paisan (Oct 03, 2009 4:47 am) The last time I recorded that is was replaced was on the 18 February 2004 with 143,673 miles on the car. Yeah, 160,000 miles ago.   My radiator is leaking around the seams, after replacing it, should I replace the cap and/or the thermostat? Replies to this message: paisan (Oct 04, 2009 9:28 am)
