1999 SUBARU LEGACY engine oil

Diagnosis of engine condition by measurement of manifold vacuum
Vacuum gauge indication Possible engine condition
1. Needle is steady but lower than normal position. This ten-
dency becomes more evident as engine temperature rises.Leakage around intake manifold gasket or disconnection or
damaged vacuum hose
2. When engine speed is reduced slowly from higher speed,
needle stops temporarily when it is lowering or becomes
steady above normal position.Back pressure too high, or exhaust system clogged
3. Needle intermittently drops to position lower than normal
position.Leakage around cylinder
4. Needle drops suddenly and intermittently from normal posi-
tion.Sticky valves
5. When engine speed is gradually increased, needle begins
to vibrate rapidly at certain speed, and then vibration
increases as engine speed increases.Weak or broken valve springs
6. Needle vibrates above and below normal position in narrow
range.Defective ignition system or throttle chamber idle adjustment
6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: MEASUREMENT
1) Disconnect battery ground cable.
2) Remove generator from bracket.
(1) Disconnect connector and terminal from
generator.

(3) Loosen lock bolt and slider bolt, and remove
V-belt for generator.
(4) Remove generator lock bolt.
(5) Remove bolt which install generator on
bracket.

3) Disconnect connector from oil pressure switch.
4) Remove oil pressure switch from engine cylin-
der block.
