Congratulations on the purchase of the new AccessPORT handheld programmer. The AccessPORT can:
- Reprogram the factory engine control unit (ECU) with improved tuning parameters through the on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) port
- Monitor and log vehicle sensor data using on-screen digital gauges
- Read and clear engine diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
- Measure 0-60 mph and ¼ mile times
- Estimate instantaneous and average fuel economy
-Adjust idle and timing

BATTERY PACK DESCRIPTION
The Module. Toyota uses prismatic NiMH modules from Panasonic. Each module, shown in Fig. 1, consists of six 1.2 V cells connected in series. The module has a nominal voltage of 7.2 V, capacity of 6.5 Ah, weighs 1.04 kg, and has dimensions of 19.6 mm (W) X 106 mm (H) X 275 mm (L). Further notable features are as follows:
A thermal well on top of the cell allows measurement of an approximate internal temperature of the electrolyte,
A hydrogen vent provides for release of hydrogen through a manifold under gassing conditions,
Terminals on each side provide clean connections,
Tie down bolts secure the modules to structural supports,
A plastic case lowers mass, and
The side surfaces of the module provide air gaps for airflow created by dimples and protrusions when two modules are stacked.

Introduction: I created this short manual to assist people in installing a new stereo to their Subaru. I have attempted to provide relevant pictures and diagrams to assist. Some of these have been taken from other websites and I have tried to reference them where appropriate.
Background: I have owned my ‘95 Subaru Impreza since I was in high school and have loved every minute of it. When I graduated my parents got me a new stereo for it, an Eclipse 5341R. This is a very nice stereo. One year later, when in school in California, my parents got me a ‘99 Subaru Outback. I had the Eclipse moved over to this vehicle. Later, upon coming back to Kansas, I began to drive my Impreza again.

OVERVIEW: VEHICLE 1 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, loosen the nut and remove the negative battery cable from the negative post of the battery. 2 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, remove the grounding bolt from the inner fender. This grounding bolt is located on the drivers’ inner fender behind the battery as shown in Figure B. 3 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, remove the two bolts holding the windshield washer reservoir. 4 Lift the reservoir out of its place and unplug the green washer pump connector from the washer pump at the bottom of the reservoir. 5 Locate and disconnect the two front wiring harness plugs (E2 and E3). The E2 and E3 plugs are located behind the battery box. 6 Read the rest of this entry »

T
he 4EAT Transmission is a 4 speed, microprocessor-controlled transmission
that was first introduced in 1987.5 Subaru models. It is not a 3 speed trans-
mission with overdrive. It features a lock-up
torque converter which locks up in all forward gears
except 1st. It has been offered in FWD or Full Time
AWD configurations.
The 4EAT transmission has undergone continuous development and improvement since its introduction. Several unique 4EAT features have been Overview added, changed, or deleted from various Subaru models over the years. We’ll provide you with a brief overview of these features here. For a more thorough description of specific 4EAT operating characteristics or features, refer to the applicable Subaru service manual for the year and model Subaru you are working on. Some Subaru models were equipped with a 1-HOLD button. These include: • 1987.5-91 XT and XT6 models • 1988-89 “L” series • 1990 Loyale

This inlet pipe kit may require the removal and reinstallation of emissions related components. If you are not familiar with the installation and/or the operation of these components then please refer this installation to a qualified professional.
Getting started
Make sure vehicle is parked on a level surface. Set parking brake. Disconnect negative battery terminal. If engine has run within the past two hours let it cool down.

Tests/Procedures: 1. Question the customer. Check if he/she started the car, cranked the heater fan on full and went back inside as the car warmed up on a sub-zero morning. Engine temperature rise did not occur at the rate the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) expected. 2. Coolant concentrations of greater than 50/50 can cause this code. Tech Tips: This code will set if the heater system is pulling too much heat from the engine as it is warming up. Engine temperature rise did notoccur at the rate the PCM expected. 2 – Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Confirmed Fix 1 – Coolant Protection 1 – Engine Coolant Level, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor.

Hot steam can escape from the expansion tank when the filler cap is opened. Cover the filler cap with a cloth and unscrew it carefully. Note: When the engine is hot the cooling system is under pressure. Carefully open filler cap on expansion tank to release pressure before starting repair work. Hoses are secured with spring-type clips. When repairing only use spring-type clips. VAG 1921 pliers are recommended when installing spring-type clips. The O-rings installed at the quick-release connections must be replaced if damaged or leaking. When installing coolant hoses, make sure that they are free of stress and do not come into contact with other components (observe markings on coolant connection and hose). Perform leak test on cooling system with cooling system tester VAG 1274 and adapter VAG 1274/8.

Installation Instructions for: Part Number 21-472 2002-2004 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Impreza TS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Outback Sport 2.5L.
The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars.
Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from
all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where
the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot under hood air. The cooler inlet air temperature
translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm
air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature
reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air
mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet
temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems come with complete
instructions for ease of installation.
