    Speedometer not working

    Plugged in the Cobb ap, was running quite rich. Pulled that sensor and dried it trying to fix speedo. Let it sit for 7 hours or so. Speedometer works fine, fuel is back to normal, revs are normal, and no back firing. Vacuum test came back fine. Rather confused but it works, so I won't question...

    Speedometer not working

    I'll try to return it when I leave again. But I've had it set like that over a year and had no issues. It drove smoother today and didnt have the ridiculous vacuum pressure, but the speedo still doesn't work. Rather confused at this point

    Speedometer not working

    I posted this in a hurry last night. It should also be mentioned that my car was fine yesterday until I went through the car wash, then these problems started to occur

    Speedometer not working

    Yes I have a down pipe and an adjustable bov that vents 50% atmospherically currently. It seems like it's more related to my speedo. Still spools and holds boost fine. Just between gears it's having a huge issue

    Speedometer not working

    Also I have a cat back exhaust and your basic "stage 2" tune. Nothing special that would cause misfiring or anything like that

    Speedometer not working

    Okay, so I've had this happen before. I've traced it to a lose sensor underneath my transmission that shorts when it gets really wet out. But this time, my Rpms drop insanely fast and my vacuum is around 25in hg instead of the normal 18. And between every shift or when I completely let off gas...

    Oil leak running down filter

    Yes it's always lubricated. I can tell its caked around the cooler. I'm just going to pull the cooler and replace the filter. Will let you guys know if it fixes it. Thanks for the help

    Oil leak running down filter

    No I haven't. Have to order them online and have them shipped where I live. Closest subaru place is an hour away

    Oil leak running down filter

    I've ran the purolater, Bosch, k&n, and Fram ultra synthetic. Every one has produced same problem. The Bosch had the longest time on before I noticed leak though

    New guy on the block

    Hello, my name is Ben Ernest and I own a 2005 sti wrb. I've always had a love for the car ever since I first laid my eyes on them and I have yet to drive a vehicle as performance balanced and such a pleasure to drive as this one. As soon as I figure out how I will upload a few pictures of my...

    Oil leak running down filter

    I've tried the old powder trick to track it and nothing turned up. Also I degreased the area in question. I know there is only one seal on the filter (I'm kind of paranoid about it, happened once and it didnt end well). Nothing seems to be caking except around filter and cooler. I'm going to...

    Oil leak running down filter

    Hello. My name is Ben and I'm new to this forum. I own a 2005 sti and I've had a continuous slight oil leak. It seems to be coming from the seal of my oil cooler. But I'm unsure. I lose about a quart every oil change yet rarely see spots and cannot trace it. If anyone has had this problem or has...
