The location is a on the bottom of the engine block, just above where the oil dipstick enter the oil pan. If it does not have a block heater already installed, there will be a plug that takes a 14mm allen wrench/socket. Coolant must be drained to avoid being covered in it when the plug is removed.

SOURCE: 1998 subaru forester runs rough when it rains.

Check the cap and rotor for internal carbon tracking or, just change them. Also, take a look at the coil when its dark and rainy and see if there is any arcing where the coil wire goes into it.

SOURCE: 2004 subaru forester, 99,000 miles. Check engine

Drop in to an Autozone, or Pep Boys, or similar big parts store & they will usually scan for codes free. This will hopefully eliminate all the guess work, or at least point everyone in right direction for better diagnosis. If not obvious from codes what the problem is, get back to us and we'll help you out.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the great suggestion . I'll have Autozone read the codes on Monday. Thanks again!"

What is the firing order on a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i

The firing order for the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i is 1-3-2-4. This means that the spark plugs will fire in the following sequence: first cylinder, third cylinder, second cylinder, and fourth cylinder.
The firing order of an engine refers to the sequence in which the spark plugs ignite the fuel in the cylinders. The firing order is determined by the engine's design and is important for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
In a 4-cylinder engine like the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i, the cylinders are typically numbered from left to right, starting at the front of the engine. The firing order for a 4-cylinder engine is typically 1-3-2-4 or 1-2-3-4, with the spark plugs firing in a sequence that alternates between the left and right sides of the engine.

Where arefreeze plugs

Subaru vehicles don't actually have what most people call freeze plugs. They do have plugs thread into the block, and there are two of these plugs on the bottom of the block. They take a 14mm allen-wrench to remove or install. The plug on the drivers side of the block, above where the engine oil dipstick meets the oil pan, is where the factory accessory block heater gets installed if needed. I hope this info helps!

There are several types of heaters. The easiest one is the type that that takes place of your oil dipstick. Just remove dipstick put dipstick heater in and plug er in ! Easy ! The others involve removing freeze plugs or cutting coolant hoses YUK :(
