Ok the truth of the matter is this... My sister needs this car fixed as well. We go to school together and share the car, and my parents are losing patients with me. They want it fixed ASAP. So me fixing it is quickly becoming a non-option… They want me to find a mechanic. So anyone know of a mobile mechanic who knows old subarus?

Hey everyone. I need a mechanic to come fix my car for me. I like working on it and was really hoping I could get it fixed myself but I just don’t have time. I need this car running in a week for school. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a mobile mechanic who could come fix it for me. Maybe someone from the board? I'm fairly certain there is something wrong with the ignition system, but I’ve messed around with it so much I can’t even really tell you what iv checked and what I haven’t checked, or what I thought I fixed but ended up breaking something else in the process, so with all that said any takers? -Tyler I live in Lynnwood and that is where the car is.

Hey everyone. You have all been very helpful and I tried my best to get my car started but I just can’t figure it out... So I need a mechanic to come fix it for me. I like working on it and was really hoping I could get it fixed myself but I just don’t have time. I need this car running in a week for school and I just don’t think I can do it in time. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a mobile mechanic who could come fix it for me cheap. Maybe someone from the board? It would also be cool if whoever fixed it could, I don’t know, like show me what they are doing? So I could learn a bit more about fixing it and whatnot, I like cars, and id like to be able to work on it myself more in the future. But on the otherhand getting it fixed is by far more important at the moment. I'm fairly certain there is something wrong with the ignition system, but I’ve messed around with it so much I can’t even really tell you what iv checked and what I haven’t checked, or what I thought I fixed but ended up breaking something else in the process, so with all that said any takers? -Tyler I live in Lynnwood and that is where the car is.

the check engine light has been on for a long time. since way before i got it almost 8 months ago.

i just put a PAP distributor in and im still not getting spark. also my horn has never worked. ill check if its getting power or if the horn its self is broken. iv always assumed it was just a broken horn. ill check that and get back. also someone mentioned something about the ECU and the horn being on the same fuse. can anyone tell me a bit more about that? where is this fuse? how do i tell if thats whats wrong with it?

i just "checked" the fusible links. um they look fine.... how do i tell if their bad?? :-\ :-\ :-\ i still think it would be really nice if someone could come look at it....

i dont think it gets spark.... i pulled a plug and touched it to the engine block while my dad tried to start it. it was sunny tho... would it have to be dark / semi-dark to see the spark? does touching it to the engine block properly ground it?

yes it turns over. lights come on. it just doesnt start...

* Stuff i forgot to include... I parked it one day and the next morning i saw that it had been broken into and they stole my stereo and iPod. When i tried to start it it wouldnt start. I thought it might be a fuse from when they ripped out the stereo but they were all fine. I live in Lynnwood Washington. Thats where the car is parked.

Hi all. I have an 87 GL two-wheel drive / manual / non-turbo that I need to have looked at. It won’t start. I’m a poor college student and need to have it running in the fall when school starts again (Sept. 18) it hasn’t been running for about 6 months now so iv been riding the bus but when school starts I wont be able to ride the bus to/from school so alas I need to get the ol’ subbie running again. I don’t suspect its anything too major but then again I have no idea. As I said before I’m a poor college student so I would be looking for someone who would come look at it for free. Ill probably be able to pay for parts (assuming its not something too major) I’m not completely useless mechanically but I just haven’t been able to figure out what’s wrong with her. I love this car to death. Its ugly, its loud, its clean, its my baby. Please help.

i have the EXACT same car as you 87 gl non-turbo 2wd 5 speed and i got up to 80....

Could i see pictures of the following parts?? the snow times and rims the exhaust (hard to take a pic of i know) the sub and amp and the calmaster rims
