I bought a car from a friend who had problems with the car, he had it back at the dealer several times but they couldn't fix it so they gave him a great deal on another car. The car was only a couple of years old and had low miles, almost all highway miles. I only paid a few hundred bucks for it. The dealer first replaced the computer, distributer and eventually the top end but it spit sputtered and died sometimes, especially when you were in a hurry. I went to pick it up with a friend as I was driving it home, I had the hood up and asked my friend to start it, when he did I noticed the distributer turned, I let it idle, grabbed a ten mm wrench and tightened it down, never had another issue with the car, tires, air filters and oil change was the only thing I did too it for the next four or five years, finally sold it when the CV joints started making noise, for a huge profit. Right time, right place I guess.

It reminds me of my grandfather that knew a lot about engines in cars and diesel trucks and learn about jet engines And never had a high school diploma . He told me years ago when I was a little boy someday when I’m 60 some years old, they’re gonna have cars that get 60 miles to the gallon And he was right , you are the best I watch your videos every single day. I hope you have a long and happy life because if we don’t have you, we’re in trouble thanks for all your wonderful videos, and for taking the time to teach us all you are a good man I wish someday I could meet you !

@scottykilmer - In newer Subarus, the centre-top display has a configurable "favourites" screen where you can put both water and oil temperature gauges. The water one is just basic - Cold/Normal/Hot, the oil one is exact. Problem with that though is it's only useful if you have that particular gauge display up. There are only two mechanical gauges left in mine - speedo and tach, everything else is digital and on a screen. Would be nice if that had an option for exact water temperature always up on the gauge screen somewhere.

But I or my wife still drive it daily it is a good little car would love to save it .Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have that particular car (although not the pheV) and Idle is high, around 1500 RPM when cold... Then comes back to normal when warm. Also, fuel consumption gauge tells me it's consuming lots of gasoline everytime it's not moving. Seems like a bad sensor? No check engine signal.. thanks for the help and very informative videos!! :)

That's actually normal in cold, but rpms should go down after a minute or two.

Tap the gas pedal and rpms will go down if you dont feel like waiting.

I tried some of the 505 CRF cleaner in both my 2017 Accord EX-L V-6/6MT and 1995 Civic DX. Didn't seem to make too much difference with the Accord but definitely noticed an improvement in the Civic, especially uphill in part-throttle conditions.

I use Royal Purple Clean Fuel System Cleaner & Stabilizer in both my 2012 VW Tiguan and my 2006 Chrysler 300C. Afterwards, I find ttat taking the vehicle on a run with high rpms blows out whatever gums uo the system.

Im a believer in enertech labs gasrx product. That lab was hired to take a massive anount of rotten turned fuel (in a monster tank) into burnable fuel. It breaks down water from parts per thousand to parts per million. Stabil, startron and all the others are meant to make fuel last longer. Gasrx makes old ethanol gas burn again. Castrol has (had) a product named route 66 (if i remember right) that did the same thing. Gas-rx was suing them for steeling there formula (last i knew). There in Buffalo Ny, i buy it at Fastenal and marinas usually have it. Or from the lab themselves. No o dont work for them or get any compensation by recommending them. Ive had a small engine shop for 14 years and dealt with bad gas the whole time. Ive had 25 ft boats with full twin gas tanks and the stuff really works.

I miss the oil pressure sensors and temperature sensors with numbers. Particularly on my Subaru, which sucks oil an oil pressure sensor I really need! I wish my Subaru had plugs that didn't require taking apart 1/2 of the engine to get to the plugs. I have changed cam timing belts, that were actually easier!

I know my car does that when I get to close to needing an oil change. It will run rough and they replaced the sensor but did not do an oil change so the issue came back. I told them I thought it needed an oil change but they did not listen so I have not been back since.

The 2009 year has an oil temperature gauge. Knowing the history of these cars blowing head gaskets, can’t imagine not having an oil temperature gauge.

I know a lot of people use Sea Foam but it doesn't really do anything for the fuel system. I've found it's really good to use in the crankcase to clean out any oil sludge or residue especially in lawn mower engines.

Ahhh. The wonderful Subies. I once had a Forrester and tbh, it was quite reliable. I once had an issue with reprogramming the radio that involved a series of hoops I had to jump thru to get it right. Bernies? I will have to give it a try on my (6) Honda Elements. Older AND wiser. Happy travels guys!
