Whats the story on the grill? It looks like an 83 just missing the emblem.

I watched this video on youtube: And I do believe that could be the cuase of some of my issues. I to believe the MAF could be bad, just the way it cuts out and bucks like its getting a bad connection especaially while driving as my issues are fairly small when sitting in park. I will go check junkyard on Monday since they have a 91 wagon and plan to snag both parts, what does your all canister solenoid look like?

I connected the black plugs today and got the new codes: I don't seem to have much trouble when idling in park, my real struggle comes when I put it in gear and start driving. I have to put in Neutral at red lights and give it gas to keep it from dying. I started the car and sprayed the tar out of the IAC again with this time it running, drove it and it still did the same thing. I checked for vaccum leaks and couldnt find any either.

I don't know why more American spec cars don't use them since there is such a wide range of weather here in the states. There are many times when I wish my Legacy would have came with one.

Jessica's dad ended up getting one of the generic converters from the advance auto I think. Ended up using some exhaust clamps and stuff but it worked just fine.

They probably wouldn't sell the cat as it's illegal to reuse them. My fiance's mother's 02 Impala had the cat go to poop on it with about the same amount of mileage, and she just drove in the city and rarely got it up to freeway speeds.

Rather stupid question, do they make your guy's Legacies and ship them to New Zealand from Japan or are they sent from America?

One of my fav's, that the kind of car people like myself dream about.

The BRAT got 11 tonight. I hate carb'd vehicles in cold weather, plus my fan is set to run all the time and the thing takes forever to warm up.

Ok that will be my next project once the weather gets above 18. I will just record it and post my video on here like I did last time and we can go from there. Thanks.

I have had experienced some bad reads with car magazines such as that one. They tend to be overly biased towards American manufactueres and are quick to damn a Subaru for the slightest inconvenience. And they wouldnt dare say that a new Cobra or Z06 was pricey and despised by insurers.

I connected the two green ones. It ran fine for a little bit after that and it has some lurchng and some bucking while driving, also it likes to die at red lights.

Now comes the biggest decesion of the day, to drive BRAT or the fast warming up Legacy.....

Tennessee is abbreviated TN. It very rarely snows here and we usually enjoy nasty rain soaked winters in my region of the state. About an inch or two of snow and everyone forgets how to drive. My main reason for getting a camper was keeping the snow out of the bed, it served it's purpose perfectly. This is what it looked like about 20 minutes later:

I had one last night where I got a EA81T coupe that was rusted through the floor boards and still had the factory turbo jack and tool kit. Was cosmic blue and had gold enkies on it.

After we had one of the hottest summer's on record, I was surprised to see it snowing tonight. Submitted for your viewing pleasure, here is my snowy subes.

This is what the Russian kosmonauts do when they retire from the space program.

Whats the foam insulation in the upper corners of the engine bay for?

If you get them make sure you have a professional paint them and not run around with them installed in the stock form they came in, that would be rice.

I nominate Turbone to go and rescue this RX.

It really does sound like Satan revving a harley.

Air filter is good I checked it yesterday when I had the MAF out. The plugs and wires are my next step, gonna purchase those probably the next pay check. Lord knows how many miles it has been since they were replaced, I drove it about a year ago and has been sitting pretty much since then. Was going to check for vacuum leaks today but it rained all day so I will try and check them tomorrow. Thanks, Kyle

Sure does, its located in the exact same spot as well.

Guess thats what I was doing wrong, I was taking it off and cleaning it with the motor not running. I will attempt that when the rain tapers off today or the weekend. Ive cleaned it twice already it seemed to help it a little bit but not too much.

Thanks guys, this was my first attempt at pulling codes off this old of a vehicle; am use to being able to hook my OBDII reader up and get them that way. The car will run fine for a few minutes then its like its being flooded, as my exhaust has a real strong gasoline smell, and my RPM's will drop. Also,when I get on it, it seems to shift too early. Any other ideas? Extra: My legacy is doing exactly how its described here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19334&highlight=Purge+control+solenoid
