#179 of 241 Backup Lights NW on 1997 Subaru Impreza wagon by tuttt Feb 21, 2008 (3:39 pm)
My backup lights are not working. I have concluded that it is the switch since I can make them come one sporadically by wiggling the shifter.   Does anyone know where the backup light switch is located on a 1997 Subaru Impreza Wagon with manual transmission?   My car has State inspection coming up next month and I don't want to have to pay a mechanic big $$$ to fix it. If I can find it, I can fix it   Thanks!!!

i just bought a 94 impreza i really like this car but the check eng light comes on after about 15 minutes of warmup time and 30 to 40 minutes of driving then it runs rough and it starts to burn gas i get good milage when light is out and bad when on could it be the o2 senser or map Replies to this message: scott011085 (Feb 26, 2008 7:03 am) jimv1125 (Mar 03, 2008 4:11 pm) paisan (Feb 26, 2008 4:59 pm) jimv1125 (Mar 03, 2008 4:12 pm)

Replying to: jimv1125 (Feb 25, 2008 4:24 pm) I'd suggest taking your car to a car parts store that will read OBD codes and determine precisely what your problem is. Although it sounds to me like a faulting knock sensor (I had similar problems on a 2000 impreza - would have check engine light on some days, off others - car idled/ran rough when it was on). I ended up moving the knock sensor to a different thread about 2 inches away and this solved my problem. You could try running a higher octane fuel too - if your check engine light doesn't come on, then it's most likely a knock sensor issue. Replies to this message: jimv1125 (Mar 03, 2008 4:11 pm)

Replying to: jimv1125 (Feb 25, 2008 4:24 pm) Unfortunately a 94 won't have an OBDII code in it cause it's OBDI. My guess is that it's the cat, but that's only a guess. Bring it to a dealer and have them read the code. It'll cost about $95 but it'll tell you what the code is for.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: jimv1125 (Mar 03, 2008 4:12 pm)

Replying to: daz5461 (Feb 26, 2008 8:18 am) My guess is a faulty intake manifold gasket.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host

Replying to: graz (Feb 29, 2008 10:59 am) Interior or exterior?   If interior, is it intermittent and loud or is it consistent and muffled? Replies to this message: graz (Feb 29, 2008 1:21 pm) xwesx (Feb 29, 2008 4:48 pm) graz (Feb 29, 2008 7:24 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: xwesx (Feb 29, 2008 11:16 am) it is exterior, it kinda makes a noise like a loose exaust pipe would, but i have no problems accelerating and it doesn't get that loud.
