1 Fuel Injection problem of the 1996 Subaru Outback

Failure Date: 07/19/2005

1996 Subaru Outback caller complained about the fuel injection . System. When starting the car it shut off again. When driving it didn't have any speed, the speed odometer was 60 mph when going 40 mph. Sometimes it will pick up speed and sometimes it won't. Took vehicle to dealer and he would not work on this car. The car will not accelerate, and he would not listen . The car was parked on the road side now and it will not run. The car vibrated when trying to start the car today. And the car will not start. This has been happening for the last two weeks and today the car just died.

2 Fuel Injection problem of the 1999 Subaru Outback

Failure Date: 02/08/2003

There are several issues going on with my 1999 Subaru legacy Outback vehicle: 1) the check engine light goes on when the fuel gauge drops down to empty although the gas tank was just filled with gas. 2) the fuel gauge does not read correct. After the gas tank is full, the gauge fluctuates back and forth (sometimes the gauge reads near empty, sometimes the gauge reads 3/4 of the tank full) when operating the vehicle. 3) the car did not pass the California smog test. 4) the rpm gauge does not stay constant while driving at an even speed. Once the gauge hits between two to three thousand rpm, the gauge drops back to between one and two thousand rpm on and of when driving. 5) the gas tank does not maintain pressure even though the lid was screwed on tight. The lid was replaced with a new one but this problem still occurs. All these issues occur with the check engine light on. The dealer does not want to look at these issues without having me pay them to look at my car. These issues my car has been experiencing have been on and off since 2001 to present. The problems seem to get worse.
