1990loyale

So I figured it out, I checked the codes and its showing 3 long flashes and 3 short which is the "coolant temp. Sensor" may also explain why the temp goes up half way then drops back to normal when I know its not an air pocket.

Thanks for your info. I also still lean on the fuel filter but doesn't hurt to try this gs to narrow it down. I have used f/I cleaners when I got the car back on the road with every fill up so far, and when the car was setting for the year it had a full tank of gas in it cause it broke down the day after I filled the tank, so I wouldn't imagine rust being in there but stranger things have happened.

Ill try that. And yes there unhooked... as for idling, it idles perfect like nothing is wrong. Just cuts out when you push down on it when driving.

Thanks for all the info. But I drove it yesterday from my parents house back to my house to get it in the garage, but I noticed its doing it when I first start the car and drive off and not just when it warms up. But im gonna get the code and go from there.

ok i pulled out all the plugs, yes there white from apparent running lean. but i still dont know what could be wrong. it did it today after i first started the car and drove off, so its not just doing it when it warms up. i also noticed RPM's drop down when it does it... please help, any more details needed ask me. thanks.

Well, ill pull each of mine out and check them. Thanks for the tip.

Have you tried manually shifting it into drive with the new governor to see if 3rd engages? If so its a governor problem, if not then its out my leauge.

hmm. never thought of that. but yes it doing it once it warms up... i thought it may be the fuel filter cause this car still has the ORIGINAL one on it, still says SUBARU on it. lol... but i did let the car set for a year and half with a full tank of fuel cause the tranny locked up the day after i filled the tank cause a bearing in the differential broke. i replaced the tranny about 2 months ago and been driving it daily since and it ran perfect as it did before it ever broke down until this issue.

it sound like it is definitely a governor gear issue. i replaced my auto tranny in my loyale after the bearing in diff. broke and locked it up. the replacement tranny i bought was from an 85 gl and it didnt want to shift into any gears unless you manually shifted it. since my governor gear was still perfect from my old tranny i swapped them out and it works perfect now. so you could still be having issues with yours. see if you can get ahold of a NEW or low miles one and see how that does, the governor gear is needed to help kick in the 3 gear(final drive).

ok i have a 1990 loyale factory ea82, 3at.... whats happening is when im driving, and i have to push down on the accelerator to either pass someone or going up a hill it will cut out as if it isnt getting enough fuel. first i figured maybe its the fuel filter but the check engine light come on so now im puzzled and haven't messed with it yet or drove it since the C/E light came on. any help, thanks in advance.
