Cleaned the MAF sensor and fixed one possible vacuum leak and this is the readings I get now. The engine can accelerate a bit faster now.

If it helps this is what the engine sounds like.

The spark plugs looked fine on the passenger side. How would I check the fuel system on a subaru?

The error code is P2096. After the head gasket work the mechanic said the compression was good. So do all the O2 sensors need to be replaced?

So I went and talked with them, so they are saying I will have to get a new timing belt even though the timing belt is new. Am I being upsold or good advice?

[George Colgrove]

What tools would be required to do that sort of job? Do you know of a good guide to do that sort of repair?

[George Colgrove]

The AWD is broken, there are no engine lights. I believe the fuse was taken out before I got it, but I have no idea where it is located. Last I heard it was quoted at a $1000 dollar repair to get AWD working again. I think I have narrowed down the noise to the driver side front CV joint. In the case of the broken AWD, what generally breaks when someone tows an AWD car?

[George Colgrove]

Talking about that, so one of the previous owners towed it probably with a dolly so no power goes to the rear. How would I go about fixing that?

[George Colgrove]

It is hard to test which side it is coming from. Just did some test turns in the driveway and neither made any sound. It make the sound when I go straight or turn right and accelerate.

Took a look at the CV joint. Something doesn’t look right.

It doesn’t happen when I rev the engine above 5,000 rpm, so I don’t think so.

[George Colgrove]

Could it be a bad U-joint?

[George Colgrove]

That describes it as a clicking sound, it’s more of a deeper sound. Also I’ve heard that sound happens when the car is turning but in my case it makes the sound if I allow the rpms get above 4,000 (sometimes it gets above 4,000 and doesn’t make the noise) when I’m going straight or up a hill.
