This is what I had to do on my Brat. Just have to pound the you know what out of it. Jeff

So I have a huge problem, I have an 88 XT 4 wheel drive It has the MPFI in it and it won't fire on # 1. Chris (Audio file) and I have gone through the entire wiring harness and check all the Injectors and did everything in the book that tells you what to check for.....And Still it is only running on 3. Has anyone ever had this before, Is it the ECU or should I just through it away? It has me :mad: . And I just want it to run. Chris Checked a whole bunch of stuff, and I dove into the Harness thinking that it had a short in one of the wires. I just don't know what to do anymore If any one has any Ideas let me know The specs on the car are 88 XT 4wd It has the spider intake on it MPFI 135.000 miles If there is anything else anyone needs to know ask me? Jeff

Right on. Well I'll shoot low to begin with and see what kinda reaction I get. If it is neg. I'll just walk. I have the parts, time and knowhow to get it going again but I don't want to work my butt off putting a motor together just to have a tranny go boom, or nickle and dime my self to death till I end up replacing every moving part on the car. Thanks for the Info to everyone. I'll let you guys know what becomes of this down the road. Jeff:headbang:

Wow you are a lot deeper into this than I thought I thought This issue you had just started but you're in 'er deep. Jeff

Wow, So if I where to go through it it would maybe be ok for another 25,000 mile or so, then I could be running on barrowed time after 300,000 miles? Jeff

Yeah I did, My brother-in-law is using it to go back and forth to bellingham for the week. I just put some Seafoam in it and it helped clear up the little flat spot it had going on. But I don't know if seafoam could clear this one up to make it run better. Jeff

That ticking is what scares me the most. He said its been like that for the last 75,000 miles witch could mean it could end (blow up) anytime.:-\ Jeff

I know the "white XT" I was looking at 2 years ago was a 2wd turbo, but you would have to buy the whole car. That's the only thing that sucks about going out there. Todd has one over at his place if all else fails but I think he would want to sell the whole car too:rolleyes: Jeff

oh I was going to say too The Rx looks great Chris!!! Thanks for giving me some credit too!!!!!!!! Jeff

There is an all subaru Whole car sale place in Anacortes. The guy who owns it name is Ed. I think he got in trouble for not having a junk yard permit so he has to sell whole cars now no parts just whole cars. He has a lot of Crap there. Its right off reservation Rd and hwy 20 there. I don't know if there are any RX's there I know a while back he had a butt load of XT's but he didn't know if they ran or not and he wanted 400 bucks for it. Jeff

So my neighbor has an 86 GL Wagon, It has been sitting next to the road for the last 11 months, My dad and I called him up and asked him what the deal with it was, and he said that he had put some new stuff on it before he parked it, CV axles and some other stuff that was little. It just needed a starter, So I put one in that I had sitting around. I got it started and it has a very loud tick in it on the # 3 cyclinder. I don't know if it is the T.O.D. But you can sure tell that it is there, Idling or driving down the road. He said that he wants to get rid of it, and Since I'm trying to own every Subaru in the world I figured I would pick it up. It runs Very well but has that tick and 279,XXX miles on it. How much do you think I should offer to him, I don't want to offend him but He asked what I would give for it. It is an 86 GL Wagon D/R no dents or scrapes, The hatch light stays on like the gate is open all the time, but its closed, the muffler is rotted off, some of the stripping on the side where it says Subaru is missing, the power steering does not work, and all the seats and carpet looks brand new. I don't know how much to offer. I think 500-600 bucks would be the max but, it has it real goods and real bads. Let me know what you think. Jeff

I got one. It still has the motor and tranny in it. Just pretty much everthing around it is gone, Doors, Windows and the inside. On one of your trips back up To bellingham you could check it out if you like. It is in Conway at exit 221 off I-5 about 5 mins. Jeff

that was very cool! Jeff

All have mud tires but Ben is not locked up I don't think. That would be cool to go up that way I went up there 2 or 3 years ago with Brian but I almost made it around the gate to go up there but I didn't. I want to stay away from Big rocks and tree stumps. that's all the more I ask. I think that's a good plan to go up that way. Jeff

Well at this point, it looks like its going to be woody, Ben and I. All three are lifted brats. Will, did you ever figure out the door issue you had? Jeff

It is a D/R. I'll have to get a hold of Scott and see what kindofa deal we can work out for a lift. Jeff

I picked this thing up for Cheap. The guy I got it from said that the Wheel Bearings were out but all he forgot was the washer that goes on the outside of the V washer. I put one on and put some bigger tires on it since it had bald stock ones on, and replaced all the seats, front and rear. I need to do a few other things but This one is the most quite subaru Ever, for 278,xxx miles on it, it runs great. I'm very happy with it. getting laid off is the best thing ever, I'm finally able to get all my projects done! Jeff:banana:

I thought none of them have vin # Jeff

That's what I think I had one go out in eastern Wa and drove all the way home with a thump thump thump. sounds just like what I had going on. Jeff

Oh, well that sums that up. I had heard that there is one somewhere on the motor. Jeff

I know where those two are but the vin# located on the motor itself is the one that i'm looking for. Jeff

PM sent

That looks nice. I had it in my mind that you where going to Half the doors, you know "cut them in half" but I should have know better. i can't see you doing something I would do. they do look very good, Job Well done. Jeff
