2000 Subaru Legacy Repair Question
Mileage: 180,000 miles.
Obd2 codes...cat, o2 sensor, or something else?
Answer
The question here is what is it doing now-Died while on the move-start by checking the fuel pressure if its within specs and report back the pressure readings
How do I check the fuel pressure? Will I be able to get an accurate reading if the car won't start? Where do you hook up a gauge, and can I check the pressure by priming the fuel system by cycling the key?
Use a fuel pressure tester-Hook it up on the fuel rail test port and turn key to run then read the pressure and then comeback with the readings for interpretation- I recommend you get repair manual
I had my neighbor look at the car. The timing belt is not turning while trying to start the car. He said his friend had the same problem, the timing belt had slipped, and the pistons bent the exhaust valves. If this happened to me, what are the chances I could replace the timing belt and tensioners and the exhaust valves would still be intact? Do you know ballpark what it costs to do the timing belt/tensioners? Or replace the exhaust valves?
The cost of repairs varies with location
