Adding another case to this list, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 08 Legacy 2.5i Special Edition, 160kmi. Symptoms: very hard to start, stutters and stalls when coming to a stop in traffic (will not stall if I shift into N and give it some gas to keep the RPMs up). CEL stays off even when it stalls out, but recently had a misfire code in Cyl 3. When idling, if I barely touch the accelerator, the RPMs drop to about 400 and that is when the shaking starts. Other than that it idles fine. What I've Tried: ran a can of seafoam through the last tank of gas to hopefully clean up any injector issues; changed spark plugs (it was due anyway). No help with either. Concerns: - Could this be the fuel pump going out? - Coil pack - Bad injectors - What else? Maintenance: new plugs at 80k, 160k; timing belt at 100k, all other belts at 120k, regular oil changes, no mods. Any help here would be hugely appreciated!

Ok I have the parts and am all set to go, but I couldn't get this stupid sensor off the top. Is it ok to leave it on? It doesn't seem like the elbow will come off with the sensor on. Any advice?

Thanks for the great thread, guys. My 2008 is having the same issue described here, noisy and rough steering, which is way worse when the temp is below 25 degrees. The reservoir is almost overflowing after a short drive, and the fluid in the reservoir is thick and foamy. There is evidence that it has overflowed some. I am going to replace the o-ring with the provided instructions, but do not know what P/N I need. I searched the forum, google, everywhere, but could not find the right one for my car - 2008 Legacy SE 2.5i Automatic, 135000 miles. Any help for the P/N would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance--
