#161 of 241 Re: 2008 Impreza stalls while in motion [sigh_of_relief] by npb2000 Jan 21, 2008 (4:55 am)
Replying to: sigh_of_relief (Jan 20, 2008 1:02 pm) That may very well be the case. I changed the driver headlight yesterday, unfortunately had to remove the battery again to access it. The car did idle ok at initial start up after the battery was back in. However (Auto Trans) I reved the gas a little in park and the RPM drop stalled the car (2500rpm and then off the gas all together). I re started the car and reved it up again, now slowly letting the rpm's drop to appropriate idle level. The car did not stall, but almost did. Then I drove 300 miles home from my weekend sales meeting with no problems, but every time I stop I can just feel it struggling a bit to idle, and I'm quick to pop it in neutral.

Replying to: npb2000 (Jan 21, 2008 4:55 am) Hmm, did you happen to jar anything that might be part of the air intake system? You may have introduced a vaccum leak, that is causing your stalling.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: sigh_of_relief (Jan 21, 2008 6:57 pm) paisan (Jan 21, 2008 7:03 pm) sigh_of_relief (Jan 21, 2008 7:07 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Jan 21, 2008 4:14 pm) Should be as solid as the day it left the factory and only 1000 miles. No modifications in any way (bone stock non-turbo), I use Shell gasoline 87 Octane as required so not likely to be bad gas. Anyway, I have made an appointment for next Wednesday, I'll keep you all informed. Replies to this message: paisan (Jan 21, 2008 7:03 pm) sigh_of_relief (Jan 21, 2008 7:07 pm)

Replying to: sigh_of_relief (Jan 21, 2008 6:57 pm) My guess is that you probably knocked a vaccum line loose somewhere and that's causing your problem.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: sigh_of_relief (Jan 21, 2008 7:07 pm)

#166 of 241 fuel pump by jeffearl Jan 22, 2008 (6:04 pm)
My son has a '95 Impreza and I had to tow him home a couple of nights ago. The car acts like it is running out of gas and then dies. I let it sit a couple of days and took the fuel filter off to check it. Sure enough, I can hardly blow through it. A new one has no resistance blowing through it, so I must be on the right path. I'm concerned that I need to bleed the air in the filter, so I turn the key to the on position to start the fuel pump. No fuel. The tank is 1/2 full or my son thinks so (the fuel gauge does not work). Can you hear the fuel pump work with the key turned on? Do you have to bleed the fuel system when changing fuel filters? Is the fuel pump located in the fuel tank? Does it sound like a fuel pump? Does this car have an oil pressure relay that could control the fuel pump?

Replying to: jeffearl (Jan 22, 2008 6:04 pm) Fuel pump is in the tank, it can be accessed by removing the rear seat and then unbolting a panel on the passenger side to access it.   No need to bleed the system when putting a new filter in (in the engine compartment). Just replace it and fire up the car. You should if it's quiet be able to hear the pump buzz when you put the key into the "on" position.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host
