hi sounds like the common problem of idle control valve playing up best bet is get it checked by an auto electrician as the prob only gets worse

Any car that can not be opened with a key instead of a remote, should be junked. That is really, really dumb. But you can always pry up a corner of the hood, use a long hook to release the catch, and change the battery.

Next time your suby looses battery power your going to have to disconnect the battery when charging it,And yes it the computer out of whack its the long fuel trim that you removed reset it, idle the car part throttle it maybe around 1300 RPM then let it Idle another 4 minutes this time turn A/C on, before you just drive it off, you should be fine now your idle control is now relearning that why you stalled,

Do you require service manual for your forester or user manual.Please click the link below:--- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/07/subaru-forester-2002-service-manual.html --------- Check out.Keep updated.Thanks.Helpmech.

There isn't an option to disable the passenger side airbag on these vehicles. Other than trying to re-wire something but that's not going to be a good idea in my mind.

Hi, In this case you have to bleed out the air in hydraulic clutch (release bearing).
Good luck.

You could possibly need new brake pads. Have you checked the brakes? Also, sometimes a small rock can get lodged in the brakes causing a noise like that.

Good Luck!

Hi
When you finally replace the belts, turn the engine over using a spanner on the crank pully, turn the engine slow incase there is any contact, when you are happy there is no contact, you can then use the ignition switch. Hope this helps.

THERE IS A PUMP DOWN BESIDE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID RESOIRVAR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE BOTTOM OF IT OR THE SIDE

your starter is probably shot. If you do not hear a clicking noise when you try to turn it over you need a new starter.

replacing the clutch fluid alone will not cure your problem although sounds like it could do with a bleed out to change it as brake fluid is hydroscopic ,it absorbs moisture in the air .if i could see it i could soon tell you how to adjust the clutch but as model and year isnt stated i wouldnt know and i doubt if i would know then either unless it was in front of me then i know just by looking as to weither its adjustable .try bleeding it through with new fluid and see what happens

your clutch is toast and needs replacement.

there is 1 drain tube for the evaporator case and it is under the vehicle by the firewall slightly more towards the passenger side. blow some compressed air up it to unclog it.

The aiming of headlights is strictly governed by the country or state you reside in and is covered by the road ordinance in force there. Take your vehicle to an authorised center that can adjust your headlights and supply you with proof that the work has been carried out according to the requisite regulations. You will save yourself a lot of bother and prevent possible legal problems.

hi the cv may not be pushed into the trans properly, or it could the centre diff getting sick

Okey
Those type lights have been on vehicles
for 30 years,so what is the question?

check the ground wire on the back of the lights see if one of them is broken or not making good contact,also check switch under dash if possible for lose wires

The purpose of a fuse is to protect the wiring in a circuit. If it blows it is because of an overload which would occur if the blower motor is siezed or there is a short in the wiring. My first instinct is a problem with the blower motor. Try isolate the blower - disconnect the leads to the motor - and try switch it on. If the fuse blows again the problem would then be a shorted wire.

hi check the idle control valve or for a vaccum leak
