stephenw22 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Is it possible? If so, how difficult would it be? Anyone done it, and can share their experience? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I'm running one on my "84 hatch. It's really easy to do. I thing I paid $10 for the kit from Carquest. Just drill out the rivets on the chock housing and mount the housing from the manual chock kit on the chock blade arm. Then drill a hole in the dash, route the housing cut it to size and set the pull. thats it Roc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sweet! Who makes the kit? Is it a universal one or something? I would love to do that with my Brat. Friggin choke works like mollasses. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned P Pritchard Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Will this be legal in california ? will it pass smog inspections ? my choke is broken . I need to replace with a new or other system where can i get this piece ? IE / choke cover and spring coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I assume that it would pass smog because they run the test on a warm engine. You’ll manually have the choke wide open when warm, so it should breeze through if all else is good. I just checked mine after failing smog and realized that warm my choke is totally closed when I pulled the air cleaner. I’ve either got zero power going to it, or it’s out of adjustment. Looks like I’m drilling rivets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 My choke is not getting 12v. Why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Have to trace the wire back. See if you can find a schematic. The FSM ones are very detailed. Someone on here may have a scan or a link if you don't have a FSM. I am not sure what else is on the circuit that feeds the choke, but there are likely a few things on it, protected by a fuse. The schematic would help figure out which fuse to check also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) So I found a fuse, and no idea where it is. All the fuses in the block are 15 and 25, this is a 5. Is it inside the Fuel Pump Control Unit? Is this black box the FPCU? I have so many questions. I wish I could rent a subaru mechanic for an hour and fire questions at them.
