does it leak oil? it is possible the oil is being used up by the PCV system remove the pcv valve and clean it up really goood, or replace it. check all the hoses for blockages

check the fuses! there is a left and a right. had a dim light after aquiring a car. i realized it was the fuse AFTER getting pulled over(and arrested) when i realized i borrowed the left side's fuse to replace the ecu fuse

the forester/legacy/impreza setup is different than the good ol ea82. an xt6 would be more inbetween with the knuckle how it bolts to the strut and the axle itself the older models have a 36mm nut and the axle is pressed through the bearing rather than slip through a splined shaft. also the strut goes into the top of the knuckle with a pinch bolt as far as procedure goes i prefer to pop the ball joint vs unbolting the lower control arm

run them all off. i leave the one behind the idle pulley there as its the only place the belt is exposed from behind. break off the little tab that overlaps the oil pimp 10 minute belt change withonly a 12mm deep and 7/8 sockets. dont bother with a shield. dont car how long the belts last especially when you have a multiple sets that will last a long while havent had any failures with mine off road, snow, mud, grass, outrunning the sheriff, or even this: ..........yes if you look closely it says "ea82" on the fender the only reported belt failure is from a loose rag under the hood, got caught in the crank and busted both belts

problems with rust is when you take off the nuts it turns the studs too. then there is a chunk of aluminum on the htread that tears it up on the way out....

PIT MANEUVER!! taunt: "If you got a problem lets take it off road" (works with trucks and suv's too)

if anything at all give it a valve lash adjustment and new valve cover gaskets. keep oil in it and dont let it overheat. check the condition of the radiator and water pump. as long as you drive it everyday it will always run. dont let it sit and rot out!

yo my mom lives in coldwater.im from fort wayne IN but i moved to milwaukee wisconsin. look up tomrhere in Hillsdale

your head gasket leak my just be a valve cover gasket.. what year is your car? the engine light will be related to a component rather than any mechanical integrity, a blown head gasket will not trigger the lite http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service/ecu.htm

throttle position sensor may be wonky. unplug it and see what happens do this with the MAF too

water pump may be leaking at the weep hole. mine leaked so bad it caused a blown head gasket. (towing with leaky pump) fix the water pump first. if you may have ablown head gasket try the block sealer my gasket blew to where it bubbled in the coolant, but no coolant in the oil. works enough to drive a 1500 mile round trip. have to add coolant so often bacuase it pushed out toe overflowm and the nipple for the hose is broken off when you add coolant ad it to the radiator cap iteself, when the motor is cool during startup

look for the skinny vac line to the canister and see if it came off rom the intake side. common oversight, or easily pulled off when tinkering under the hood. look there first, and then the plastic lines from the canister along the firewall.

subaru made the ea82 body style thru 1994 but called it loyale from 90 on when the legacy came out in 90 the touring wagons i have seen were gl-10's. alleyboy in columbus has a gl-10 turbo touring wagon, FWD auto converted to 4wd dual range make a gl-10 touring wagon into an rx driveline and aero kit, 5 lug suspension and spider intake and its the ultimate ea82 setup!

i would use interstate batteries. subarus came original with them. u-haul uses interstate in their all of their moving trucks.

you will gain height adjustable struts as they came on 85 and 86 4wd but 87 and later are fixed

i would re- use them myself. but then again thats me. and then agian i have more sets of used timing belts floating around than i have had subarus. besides, if you build your motor without the plastic covers you can change them off the side of the road in 10 minutes with 2 tools. if you get new ones keep the old ones as spares inthe trunk, along with 2 tools(12mm deep socket and 7/8")

gen 1 heads will have EA82 stamped on it gen 2 heads will have a line under EA82 gen 3 heads will have a box around EA82 89 and up models will have them, but older models could have them as replacements as well

cold weather 20 deg

let it sit till tomorrow and it will start random occurrence usually with cold temp 15 deg - otherwise was fine, this happened twice withthe 88 sedan. swapped the motor into a loyale and it would cut out for a while and not start till it cooled off turned out was the distributor one from an spfi or mpfi would work. the pigtail is swappable if the plug is different ('87) check out them c-bus jukyards. spfi has a round shaft for the rotor and turbos have the d shaped shaft and the rotor is taller. spfi rotors fit on turbo distys but not the other way around

the napa and other generic temps gauges(mechanical) the threads will fit, you will have to use one of the fittings that come with it to secure the thermocouble to the diameter of the soob. keep any leftover pieces from gauge installs as they can be used like legos to adapt oil gauges, vice versa

i would think that a coolant smell in the vents would ba a leaky heter core. feel around the carpets for wetness if this is so a cracked head can drip coolant into the exhaust but the compression otherwise will be fine

get under the hood and locate the vacuum canister on the passenger side firewall follow the lines, there will be a skinny vacuum line running from it to the intake manifold. bet you 100 bucks this line became disconnected if your car is pushbutton 4wd the 4wd wont work if this is tha case. this line ontrols all the vacuum functions check all thelines around the canister and the canister itself to start with..

when you turn the key to the RUN position the fuel pump will kick on for a second to pressurize the line the fuel pump will run again when it sees a signal from the diatributor (engine turning over) when you connect the green clips(under the hood spfi or under the dash turbo and 86 spfi) the fuel pump will cycle on and off when in the run position the fuel pump relay is on top of the steering column, next to the ign relay

any 4wd 5spd ea82 driveshaft will work wether it be 3-door, sedan, wagon, or xt as a single range, dual range, or full time 5spd you will have to make a mount for the carrier bearing.....
