Loyale 2.7 Turbo

Fuel injector cleansing procedure I use: Remove the Fuel injectors. Spray carburetor cleaner Upside down on them, to clean their inlet strainer. Plug a 1.5 feet long Hose, tight on their inlet. Secure it in place with a Clamp. Plug a couple of long wires to their power input, to connect them to the Car's Battery. Hold vertically the Hose, hanging the Fuel injector. Fill up the Hose with enough Carburetor Cleaner. Ask the Help of someone to Connect the Wires to the Battery, intermitently. (1 second intervals) Blow the crap out of the injector, by bursting high pressurized air to the Hose. When the Cleansing fluid is gone, fill up the Hose again... Repeat this procedure until the injector is Completely Clean! WARNING! The 12 Volts power should be Connected / Disconnected on one second intervals, otherwise the pressure buildup on the Hose, could cause it to Blow, spraying dangerous solvents and dirt all around. Be Careful! Important Notes: ► I forgot to shoot a photo while the cleansing process was ongoing, so since I already re-placed back the battery on the car, I did the last shot for the photo, there, and then I Cleansed the Battery properly; do Not do this Fuel injector cleansing procedures nearby the battery to avoid a spark that might start a fire with the chemical solvents; also Never forget to wear safety goggles during this procedure, please Take Care. ► You have to be Creative to Hook the Hose Properly on certain Fuel injectors, such like the Older style Subaru ones. ► I highly recommend to obtain brand new o-rings for the injectors, to be placed after the cleaning procedure has finished. ► The ideal carburetor cleaner usage, is around 4 to 5 oz of the can to each injector, or a whole 16 to 20 oz can of good quality, concentrated Carb Cleaner, distributed among four injectors. ► You'll need to fill up the Hose and blow with air several times 'till the injector sprays with a clean, defined pattern as it should. ► An average air compressor, has a common working pressure of 90 psi, while an average Car's fuel pump delivers much less psi. The mixture of that higher pressure with the amount of concentrated chemical solvent used, gives as result an incredibly clean fuel injectors, beyond any fuel additive could do.

That solved the Misfiring issue. Then I removed all four fuel injectors for a complete cleansing. Those where never removed for cleansing, the grey silicone (Bad idea) was smeared during the Engine's swap, years ago, to aid the worn o-rings to seal properly.

I had to buy a New Coil Pack, but as those are equally old, if one failed, the other is about to fail; so I ended buying the Two Coil Packs, brand New; Kia spare parts are Super Cheap and super easily to find in Honduras. These are Aftermarket, but "Made in Korea" Coil Packs.

Despite that I've changed the Engine's Long Block (Block + Head), the intake & exhaust manifolds, plus all the EFi stuff, etc, are from the original engine, so they has 180,000 miles old being there; the only wires I've changed were the wires that goes from the plugs outside the engine, to the coil packs themselves, due to bad quality plastic plugs disintegrating. The engine uses Two Coil Packs, each one has Two outlets, after swapping sides between them, the P0304 OBD II Code, changed to P0300: "Multiple Misfires Detected" and, I was able to find which coil pack failed, as the fail moved from one cylinder to another, along the coil pack.

Both issues, the Hard Start and the Cylinder misfire, were not related to each other, but I've resolved Both. I've done testing on the Fuel injectors and Coil Packs, swapping sides between both coil packs and fuel injectors, and I found two things: ► The Fuel injectors were awfully dirty, almost plugged. ► One of the two coil packs, has one dead output.

Thank you Guys for your Kind Help, I really appreciate that. The problems with the "KiaStein" has been Resolved. Let me Explain:

That would be Awesome!!! Don't forget to share Photos with us. Kind Regards.

Yes, take a Look on how I fought against Rust on my Dead 2.7 Wagon project: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/122632-rebuilding-rusted-damaged-body/ Kind Regards.

No problem! If you can make a photo montage, with both side wheels spinning, That would be Fun and nice to see ... ... Kind Regards.

If you paint yours Yellow also, Please don't forget to share Photos here. I've photos of other members who has painted their old-school Subarus in Yellow, In USA, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Europe ... as you can see in this old Post: As you can read directly on This Thread, there: ~► http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5373&page=2 Look at Post Nº 17 ... this is How "L-Raiser" Subie Looks now: ... Both Bumpers were Modified & Reinforced by me, in both my Subaru Wagons, the EA82 "BumbleBeast" and the dead 2.7 Wagon project, as you can see photos, ~► Here. Yes, exactly what I thought since I have this car, almost thirty years ago so far... I don't like that, but a friend who is another USMB Member, Caramanos 2000, painted his Wagon "La Abuela" (The Grandmother) in Yellow like Mine, but with Blackened Roof and Hood, let me share a photo with you: Once again: I Always thought Exactly the Same. I don't like Touring Wagons for that mere reason indeed. Let me tell you that the Rubber Spoiler, is in fact, the Real Third Gen Leone (EA82) Spoiler, but Subaru offered it as part of their "Top of the Line" Models, fully loaded with Extras, such like the GTII and STII Wagons; the common "Wing" Spoiler seen on third gen wagons, is taken in fact from the Second Gen (EA81) Leone lineup. Kind Regards.

I Agree. In case I could obtain those wheels, I will paint them Black with Yellow Accents for sure, but I don't know yet if I will paint a Yellow outer edge, pinstripes around the openings, or yellow the inside part of the openings, or a mix... I'm still searching for those wheels, not only locally but already I started searching online ... also seems like those wheels are scarce online ... only found one so far, and the price is expensive: ~► http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Used-1991-1992-1993-1994-Nissan-240SX-15-Factory-Wheel-OEM-Rim-62287-/181307448653 I continue searching locally, I'll travel to the main cities' Junk Yards, known here as "Yonkers" ... there are many cities, each has some junk yards, but I think that I'll start by traveling with my family to the main cities, starting at the city of San Pedro Sula (over 1.5 million population) nearby the caribbean coast, which has many junk yards, also if I couldn't find those wheels there, I'll go to the twin cities that conforms our capital city (Tegucigalpa & Comayagüela = another 1.5 Million population) nearby the pacific ocean's coast, which also has many junk yards... (Remember; as usual on my posts, underlined words are web link to interesting photos and more info on the subject) Kind Regards.

Yes, but I don't like too much a plain White wheels on my Radioactive Yellow Wagon Thank you, Nathan, I really appreciate your Kind Offer, but I already have a set of 15" tires, all-terrain 25" tall, that are not completely new, but in a much Better shape than the ones that I already have on my "BumbleBeast" so, going up to 16" wheels, means to me to buy another tires' Set, which I could not afford, however I thank you so much, for your kind offer. The idea of bring a set of four used, lightweight aluminium wheels from USA for my subie, is not too crazy, because I've been searching locally for those Nissan 240SX 15" aluminium wheels, without any luck, seems like they're more scarce that what I thought... I'll try at e-Bay and compare the Wheel's price + Shipping & Handling to my "Virtual Address" in Florida, USA; at the courier & Cargo Co; then add the other shipping, handling and import fees cost, to Honduras, and see if the effort / price \ product will worth to do that. Kind Regards.

Oh yes, that Box was Big and Heavyweighted! Let me Share a post, with a couple of Photos: Yes, those are Really Awesome, the very Best on my Subaru Stuff Collection! Let me Share a post, with a Photo: Thank you again, Thomas, for your Gifts that I treasure, and for your comments, which I really appreciate. Kind Regards.

Today I did the very first use on my brand new scanner... ...More information, on this Thread: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/101718-kia-sephia-sporty/page-23 Post Nº 569 ... Kind Regards.

Thank you guys, you are so Kind!

Recently, a Good Friend in USA sent me as gift (Thank you, MR_Loyale), a brand new Scan Tool, today I did the very first use of it, on the "KiaStein" and, beside the two "Normal" codes it always had (P0128 Due to no thermostat and P0422 due to the absence of both catalytic converters) now, it has this "New" code, P0304, see: What do you think about that? I already checked and cleansed the four iridium Sparkplugs that I installed some months ago, they had carbon buildup, which makes me think that the fuel injectors are very dirty; but the fail didn't go, despite that I changed the sparkplug's position on the T8D engine. I don't know if both issues (hard start and Cylinder misfire) are related, but I plan to remove all injectors for a complete cleanup, and try with standard sparkplugs; I'll report any news here. Any idea, suggestion or comment is welcome. Kind Regards.

But Today, early morning start and the car needed only one crank as usual during first cold starts ... but suddenly it developed a Hard shaky idle ... I let it idle for ten minutes in order to let it reach its normal operating temps, but the rough idle was there, so I test drove the car around the block, and it developed misfires, accompanied by a Blinking "Check Engine" Light on the instrument cluster panel.

Second Report = Rest of the Tank, then new half tank without additive Nope, the thing did not get any better, in fact it got even Worse, let me Explain: The last 1/4 tank + additive went out without any noticeable change, beside the above described situations, but I can tell that the additive gave a hint, letting me know that something was going on with the fuel injectors... Then I refuelled the "KiaStein" to a full tank, this time without any additive, only high octane gasoline; but three days after and the hard starting issue still was there; the additive only reduced the average times needed from turning the Key to start, from four times to two times. So, I decided that I will take out all the four fuel injectors, and do a phisical cleansing on them within this week...

Once again, thank you, Funk, for your Photoshops... ...They give an idea of how my "BumbleBeast" could look, with the Nissan's 240SX seven spoke 15" rims. Kind Regards

Thank you for sharing the Photo & information Kind Regards.

I Hope I could make the best decision with my Low Budget, but anything will be better than "Bling-Bling" wheels, on a hard working, daily driver wagon... Now I understand: My subie could look Sinister with Black rims. You have Great Photoshop skills (don't erase the photos, please) Thank you for writing the important words in Spanish... Kind Regards.

It works good, Thank you! I saw the Video... in fact, I had to download it, waiting a whole hour before I can see it, because my internet speed sucks, but now I saw it on 720p and Plasti Dip seems to be a Great idea for painting the Rims, especially because I could remove it super easily... (compared with traditional paints) ...if I made a mistake while painting, or if I want to change the desing of the paint scheme / pattern. Your Subaru looks very clean and nice, I like it. Also I have painted the same hood's area in Black, but I used the same quality Polyurethane paint I used in the rest of the Body of my "BumbleBeast" The question is, Where I could find Plasti Dip in Honduras? The quest begins tomorrow... Kind Regards.

I Highly recommend you to fight against that Rust, is body cancer for these Subarus, it could get even Worse, especially if you drive on salty snowy roads... Kind Regards.
