Replying to: lostinmaryland (Jan 29, 2008 9:06 pm) The 1995 Subaru IS OBD-II compliant. Obviously the Person at Advance isnt aware that some cars made prior to 1996 (the official year ALL manufactures had to be OBD-II compliant) were OBD-II compliant before that mandatory year. Seeings how I myself own a 95 Subaru Legacy, and own a OBD-II reader, I can vouch that it indeed is OBD-II compliant. If you see the person again at Advance (provided this person is still working there) and tell them of this fact. Giving bad info to customers is a good way to make things way harder than they should be. Coming from an Autoparts store as a manager for 7 years, these kind of mistakes happen all the time with all the changes made. Small and large.

I've posted earlier on this thread.... then got side tracked. My 05 Legacy had a CEL several months ago - $300 later, had a new 'post convertor' sensor on, and all is well... for two weeks, when it happened again. After discussing it here, I took it to an Advance Auto Parts store, where they kindly did an OBDII scan - got the codes as follows. P0131 O2 sensor Circuit Low volts (Bank 1 Sensor 1) and P2097 Post Catalyst 'fuel Trim Bank 1 System too Rich I read a manual - found the 'upstream' sensor and harness - difficult lil' bugger to reach. What I'm wondering now - is it the sensor ? Or is my cat convertor shot? It only has 21,000 miles on it. Any tips greatly appreciated!
