I have this prob on 98 OBW. confirmed the reverse switch on the MT is functioning by accessing the connector in the engine bay. Applying 12V with a wire to the white/red wire has the back-up/reverse lights alight. Checked every fuse in the side panel - all ok. the wire diagram doesn't show a relay.....

I concur with disco on point 4) "injectors simply solenoids" At the speeds these mechanical devices must be run, if you don't take into account inertia and hysteresis you won't get very accurate opening times, especially near idle, this even more so applies to peak and hold injectors. On the other h...

I disagree with sweeping statements like "Good boxes nowdays use 32 bit microprocessors...." There's many reasons to choose a processor, 32bit is certainly easier to develop to by new engineers given the expensive tools that go with them hence it is becoming a leading choice in industry - developing...

The boots are good, ifirc, the boots have no wear as i replaced them so ready to go fit. $30 2 x rear shaft...

anderson connectors are a PITA, but anyway they aren't made for often connect/disconnect cycles anyway. How much of your gear actually needs a 50,75 or 150Amp connection anyway? cannon bayonet style are beaut, positive click locking, 20amp gold contacts, i've used them for hooking up engel fridge n ...

agree with disco, hate the bastards....... even on those newer cars, we don't have many (if at all ) flat pancake roads, so even cars with the levelers, your approaching them on undulating road, and those lights are constantly flashing and blinding you - the levelers can't keep up I think. I do like...

but remember your suspension, exhaust and engine are still the same height. You really must be willing to go for bigger tires say like 28" to really get value out of 3" lift - IMHO Bigger tires give you real lift, though its not so prominent on a subaru, as it is on a live-axle type 4wd. 27" tires g...
