Hi there!

I recently installed a new head unit in my wife's 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. After installation we noticed no sound coming from the front speakers. I reinstalled the Starlink unit, which allowed the tweeters on the dash to work, though the door speakers are still not working. The speakers worked prior to the installation and the car does not have an amp - though there may have been an aftermarket amp prior to her purchasing the vehicle, as there are 2-wires under the passenger seat. We played with the DSP app, though no luck. Any suggestions?

Greetings all,

I've owned my 2012 Prius for over a year and has been great overall. However, since I've installed a new OEM air filter, I have noticed a reduction in my fuel economy. I was getting around 60+ MPG, now I am lucky if I get 30-35 MPG. Oblivious I am not counting short-trips, even though I still maintained a higher MPG during those trips. I've looked around for leaks (vacuum or fluid) or other issues, though I did discover my auxiliary battery was dying. I did replace it, as it was the original battery (I believe) - so does the ECU need time to recalculate MPG? I noticed that the charging system was working more than usual, which prompted me to check the voltage on the auxiliary

Hey all,

I'm looking for someone who has been a long-term member of the reddit community to volunteer as a limited mod to catch the spam going around and attend the emails. While I do log on, it's not nearly as often as it could be. Thus, to improve our little community, I ask for those who want to help to comment below. I'll look over the comments this weekend and choose one or two people.

Cheers,

Hi all,

My Lancer has a rough idle while in gear (worse with the HVAC on) and I'm at a loss. I thought it was the motor mounts, since the rear and front were torn, but replacing them (along with the other two) didn't cure it. I changed my spark plugs (NGK), since it was time, and cleaned the EGR. I checked for vacuum leaks, but failed to find one, though maybe missed it. I changed my belts (not the timing though) a couple of years - along with the spark plug wires (NGK). I know the are a few more things I've completed, but I'm lost. Bad/old battery? Cruddy alternator? Bad timing? Poor pulley?

Hope y'all can help. Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot that I cleaned the idle control valve and throttle bo
