Hey Peter, my hatch back does the same thing (it's a CCR motor). I replaced the sender and it read the same. I'd suggest saving the $40 . It worries me because alot of the EA81 cars I've had read almost to the red line and then drop abit from there when warmed up. Sorry I don't have an answer, just wanted you to know your not alone. Tim

Thank You!!!!

And he speaks "King James"...... I love the kid!!!!

Marvel Mystery Oil is the way to go. That stuff is amazing!!! Tim

Open drivers door, look for small plaque. It should have the manufacture date stamped on it. Tim

Hey Mick, we looked at our situation and I don't think this year is going to work. We are going to start planning now for next year so we can do both MW4 and the Castana run. Sorry man, hurts me more then you though. Have a good time and post lots of pictures. Tim

Yep, and even if I could have seen it, it was in a position that it was very close to where it should have been to begin with. Finally got my hand in there to snap it in, crazy tight!!! Tim

Gentlemen, we have a WINNER!!!!! I would have never seen that as it was. I'm still trying to plug it in (8 stitches across the back of my thumb don't help....lol) So, just for my own knowledge, what does "IAC" stand for, I'm assuming it is the fat hose that goes straight up and down. Thank you, thank you, thank you:D . Tim

Sorry, 97 OBW build date is Jan 97. I just got off the phone with the service tech and they said there is a second sensor. Black with yellow strip and black wire. It should be toward the front of the engine, but I'm not seeing it. I'm starting to think I may have to take the intake back off and look under it:banghead: . Keep the ideas coming, I'm going back out to look some more. Tim

The adventure begins again. I read up on the multi-meter then I tested some "stuff" ie fuses, an exstention cord, a relay. Then I got an old OP sensor with only a single blade conection, I couldn't figure out where to put the meter leads. Going back to the temp sensor, should I put one lead in the conector and the other on the sensor, in effect, making a bridge??? Sorry, got an idea and walked away for a sec. My hatch has the same type of conector and it is very accesable. I figured out I don't put it into the power lead, but I put one lead on the sensor and grounded the other one and as the car warmed up, the ohms went down, I ended up with a 4 ohm reading (.4x10). So, with that said I think I'll go check the sensor in the OB, it isn't nearly as accesable:-\ . Really kind of fun learning this stuff:grin: . Tim

I'm hit'n the rack for the night, I'm about 3-4 hours ahead of Glen . I'll look for the book in the morning, I save everything like that, just a matter of finding it. Again, thanks, Tim

Analog, with a needle pointer.

It only has a single flat conector. Unless I missed a second wire, but I about posssitive I only saw the one conection. Thanks, Tim

Thanks Glen, unfortunatly I have no idea how to measure the resistance or for that matter any thing else you recomemded:confused: . It is true, when it comes to electronics I am a complete idiot. I have a multi-meter but about all I know how to do with it is see if the alt is charging. Could you give me some details, and I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if it matters, but the guage works the same as it did before the motor came out. Thanks, Tim

For about $200 a LUK clutch will get you a lot of clutch. I might also advise not speed shifting with 28's. You might as well just slip your clutch back and forth :-p . Tim

Hi all, got the CCR long block and it runs great. I only have one small issue. When I put the motor in the only thing I didn't hook up was the temp sensor. The cooling fans come on at start-up and it is running very rich (apx 13mpg w/the trailer) I plugged in the sensor and had Auto Zone clear the computer, code 117 "low voltage to temp sensor". the fans went off, but about 30 seconds later the fans came on and so did the CEL. I am assuming that it is the same sensor. Is there a trick to getting it to stay off??? Thanks for the help, Tim

We're in the drive way at home!!!!! So nice to have a car that just does what it's supposed to do:grin: . That was a great weekend, thanks Mick for getting things lined up. Great to see old friends and make some new ones. Well, gotta get the camper cleaned out. Later, Tim & Vicky & Tess & socks

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31201&highlight=doorman That's what I've done on two of mine. Never had a problem. Tim

We're doing the packing thing too. I am SOOOOO stoked!!!! We are just going to bring the OBW, sorry no hatch:(. do you have a rough estimate of time from SF to saylorville??? See you tomorrow:grin: . Tim

It is finished!!!!!! Smooth, quiet, BEAUTIFUL . I have a CEL and the cooling fans come right on but I think it could have to do with missing the Temp sensor. I try Auto Zone to see if they read it for me. Thanks to everyone, Tim

Just got this thread on a "search". It was indeed the one wire I didn't get connected. I would not have found it with out this thread. Now I need to figure out how to get my big hands down in there!!!! Many thanks again, Tim

We're thinking of going to this. We really need to see what's up that weekend. I think it would be blast and with the OBW/pop-up, we could camp and be sure to have a car to get home in . (still alittle gun shy with the Loess Hills:-p ) Later, Tim

ALL Subbies are welcome:grin: . Tim

I do the same thing but with 3/8 exhaust studs. Works great

Hi guys, I could use my first big chunk of help. I need torque specks for some of the more critical systems ie the filler neck and the intake. Anything else that anyone can think of would be great. Thanks, Tim
