1995 Impreza limp mode problems by queenvavee

This car went onto limp mode. The ECU was throwing a code so we replaced the sensor that was causing the code. Reset the ECU, the car goes for a bit as normal and then goes into limp mode again. The guy who owned it said that he thought it needed a transmission. But how could that be if the tranny works for that short time? This is 2.2 automatic.

My wrx sti was had an under car accident and afterwards all the oil came out. So now theres no oil in the engine. please give me an idea on how much it will cost to repair this and is it worth it to keep the car.

Depends on how long you ran it with no oil and if there is internal damage. If it's just an oil pan it's about $100 for the part.
 
But I think you should sell me your car cheap hee hee

I guess they have to find where the oil leak came from. Sounds pretty serious, though.
 
Insurance ought to cover even engine damage suffered in a collision.

Stumbling, bumbling Impreza by doofus54

My daughter owns a '96 Impreza with a recent problem.
The car runs fine when cold, but at operating temp it stumbles badly accelerating from a stop. Like a carb(if it had one)with a bad accelerator pump. A delicate foot is the the only way to make a decent getaway. Has new plugs, wires,fuel filter, all the cheap things I can do. Any one have any clues? thanks.
Also, a question. I am new to Subaru, and I was wondering if any one can tell me what they use instead of a distributor, and where it is.thanks

Both answers are: ignition coil.
 
After the plugs and wires, try that. Should be similar to my '98 Forester, so it's on top of the engine, where the spark plug wires connect. Mine was $80 from 1stsubaruparts.com, and you only need one for all cylinders.

Yup was going to say that or a MAF. During the stumbling does the CEL come on? I just picked up a '95 Impreza L 2.2AWD for my dad and the speedo cable/connection is broken. Over 4k on heavy acceleration it will also stumble, I believe it's due to the ECU reading no mph and kicking in a rev limiter.

I wasn't clear on my question about the lack of a distributor. What I really wanted to find out was the location of the device that triggers the coils. Thanks alot for the info on my problem.

It's smack dab on top of the engine, the wires go into it from the plugs. That unit is fired from the ECU via wiring harnessess.
