1981 DL 1800 wiring help

Not sure this helps but I have a 1982 parts catalog and I can see that the DL 4WD wagon does have some particular part numbers. Might need a rest first but I’ll post what I can for pics of components and whatever related harness , etc that I can. -
Good call. Indeed I did replace the same tube in my 2.2 just a couple years ago it seems but probably 5+ lol Slow day. Not much time today either but I do have the exhaust out of the way , jack under tranny , all set but having trouble splitting them apart. Done plenty of EA’s and an EJ22 or so but this one seems awful sticky. How many nuts or bolts are there into the bell housing ? I see one more way the heck at the bottom. I think I’ve already removed 6 or so. I’m going to bail out at this point and get more rest etc. Have it all settled back down. Will conquer this tomorrow. Next question on the horizon is do you folks use anything special for hanging these on a common engine stand ? I recall the 2.2 needing long bolts and I think I used a bunch of washers as spacers. Yeah it’s a hack affair sometimes. Thanks.

Haven’t found a good manual for you yet. -
EA82T ECU Tuning Options
moosens replied to SiriusBlack's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
But that’s an out of pocket expense. Don’t get me wrong , if you really want it on the road right you spend the money. But limping it along stock-ish on a budget ain’t so uncool. I’m a dinosaur who drives mechanical dinosaurs so pardon that perspective. -

CTS , find a genuine one if you can. If you haven’t needed one yet chances are good you will if you keep the EA82T Had the whole set of hoses at one time but no longer do. That foil wrapped one at the turbo , that’s one that’ll cause issues. All those pre-formed hoses, find what you can. And lots of archived info on intercoolers. Closed air system, keep it tight. -
In the old days I bent that EGR pipe with pliers and squeezed it down well enough that it didn’t wheeze. Little duct tape over the end for added security. My current situation will happen soon but it’s not so critical because for once in the past 25 years or so I have a garage to work out of with no need to rush out. Haven’t yet scored my M20x1.5 tap and drill set just yet but hoping to at least have the engine out later today or tomorrow. Pardon my personal news within this thread please.

custom lift kit blueprints
moosens replied to pnw91wagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Nothing like DIY I know but just want to suggest SJR lift kits. He’s a long time one of us and dedicated to his craft. You won’t find a legitimate complaint about Scott or his SJR products. -
Yeah that pic sucked. It’s made in Japan so it can’t be all that bad , right ? And how does such a device work anyways ? I felt something want to move like a valve lever but all remained dry. Almost no time to play today and I tried to cram in some work while exhausted and it getting dark etc. pardon the excuses. But I figured I’d abandon that sucker and come back stronger the next round.

Any other issues like surging throttle ? One thing to watch for is the black plastic breaking down and sucking bits into the carby. Likely not your issue now but given it’s age I’d keep an eye on that and actually take the ASV apart and check the metal flapper too. Again , may not be related to your current issue. But my 86 gave similar issues at one time and later as described above found the plastic saucer disintegrating.

Newbie from the land Down Under
moosens replied to wolp's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Welcome ! Sadly , many folks don’t use this great forum as much these days due to face boo I hit a few Subaru groups there and don’t waste any time if possible. Personally I use it but also can’t stand it at times. More family friendly here for sure. And much much much less moronic behavior issues. Best of luck with the Brumby. Still find it funny and yet somewhat annoying that your market continued to receive the MPV into the 90’s when ours ended in 87. Enjoy the board. Several of us have parts catalogs and service manuals and decades of user knowledge. Just may have to be patient with less traffic when seeking answers. Cheers !
