I was just checking cuz my car has a cat. after the spfi install the car seems to run a little rich, i smell a hint of gas so i was going to take the cat out and see if it changed but i was told that the computer might need it or something with the o2 sensor i dont know. but ill just take it out. thanks

with the spfi swap do you need a catalytic converter? Thanks SS

The temp sensor was the problem. Much Thanks SS

Well i filled the gas tank to see my new mileage and so far its getting pretty good, with this high idle thing, so im expecting a little better after i figure out the idle problem, but ill check the coolant temp sender. thanks SS

I just did a spfi swap on my 86 hatch, runs great except for when i stop at a red light or stop sign ect... the rpms rise to about 2800 rpms and holds till i take off. and then runs fine and when i stop same thing. its very frusterating cuz i cant afford it to be burning gas like that. and i dont know much bout spfi, ive checked: for vaccum leaks there are none, timing is good, and idk what to do Thanks SS

ok i wasnt quiet thinking when i wrote that but yeah. i just wasnt sure if it would make the car run any differnt

so i unplugged and took out the egr solenoid valve but the ecs light on my dash stays on and i still get a code, is that going to put my car in like limp mode? is there a way to by pass is so the computer thinks it is still there and i wont have the code?? Just wondering Thanks SS

Hey thanks you all next time i go to a u pull it ill take a look for some like DaveT is talking about and probly for now yea ill just unplugg the sucker. much thanks SS

I have just finished my first spfi swap on my ea81, she runs but doesnt run right seems like bogging down when you drive it. i checked and am getting code 34 which is the "EGR solenoid valve" i have an 86 GL 4x4 hatchback. the donor car was an 89 GL wagon 4x4. i pulled one off a subaru i just bought that is FI same year and everything as the donor car she has bad head gaskets so i dont know if that one worked in the first place but neither worked. any body know whats going on?? Much Thanks SS

I bought a 1982 subaru GL wagon for a good price the guy said he just replaced the clutch and it ran for a little bit then stopped and never could get it turned over again. so he sold it to me for a good price and i didnt trust his work cuz it ran before he replaced the clutch he said for since he had it but anyhow, i droped the tranny and found this. the pressure plate teeth work bent and missing the throw out bearing was ate and the throw out bearing shaft was ate as well. oh and he gave me the clutch and everything that he took out of the car. so i compared and its noticebly different. so i took it in to the parts house and they said that for the 1982s they have a late 70s clutch so i bought one threw it in there and SHE IS ALIVE:banana: just figured i would do some show and tell SS

im use to working on the EA81 and 82s so how hard would fixing the bent valve be on the newer ones? Thanks SS
