Yeah, Steve and I are doing a clutch job the the XT6 soon since the clutch is slipping pretty badly. When are you guys coming down to WV again?

HUH?! LOL, miles, it is fixed. No problems other than the ones that cant be fixed at this moment. Just found out the dash is falling apart and sometimes the tach doesnt work.

I fixed it. Turns out there was like no coolant in the radiator. I filled it up and the problem was gone when I drove it around the neighborhood. I checked for burning in the exhaust and no burning coolant smell was coming from the rear of the car. The smell came from the engine where the clamp had been removed from the reservoir tank hose(where connected to the radiator). I reclamped and no more leaks, no more burning smell, and best of all no more hesitation and bucking.

Doesnt sound like something a TPS would cause. The MAF is however a good possibility. I am gonna check mine.

Mine has been with me for 3 different subaru's. I was hoping this car would be the reliable one.

Sounds sorta like my problem, except I am smelling burning coolant and mine does not get better when engine is warm. When it does this it sounds like the engine isnt gonna make it but then at WOT it picks up and gains power again. My turbo GL wagon was doing the same thing but I was pretty sure it was a result of a cracked head or blown head gasket. Do you smell burning coolant. My problem seems to be much worse than what you are experiencing. I have an evil touch that causes cars to break unexplainably.

Well I just bought the XT6 a week ago and the battery was dead on it, so I left it at Steve's for a week. Today I went to stick a battery in it and drive it the 30miles to morgantown and I noticed it was sputtering occasionally. This seemed to be similar to what happened to my old GL turbo wagon. I can smell the sweetness of coolant burning when it is running but there is no visible smoke coming out the exhaust or engine. The only way the engine runs smooth is if you floor the gas pedal or let it idle. If you try to give it half throttle it just sputters and gives no power. I am fearing this is a bad problem with the heads. It doesnt overheat but I think the coolant is way lower now. Does anyone know what is up??? I am sure this has happened to someone on this board before.

yep, that set it off. Seems bfoxheadnetwork has to be on the end to set off what ever evil censor this forum has. Lets test other such words:

Nope! how about pub98.ezbïard.com/bfoxheadnetwork

is pub98.ezboard.com a curse word here?

Nevermind, that gets edited too. WTF is up with that.

For the peope too slow to operat the web, my location under my username is the Subaru Alliance board address. As well as my homepage link below. Both work without a problem.

I tested it with no remorse. BTW, what is wrong with gummi bear lovin?

What is your email Fox? The video is 15 megs so let me know what you want me to do.

Steve's wagon works, my wagon works, it is just too good to be true. I have a video of the first start up if someone can host it.

If you have some mechanical know how it is simple to swap the carb. Stock carb is simple to remove/install and the weber has even less to it than the stock. If you are the type of person that goes to the grease monkey to have your oil changed I would not suggest you attemp the job. Maybe the best thing is for you to meet up with someone who has done a carb swap before. This way nothing gets messed up and you gain some experience.

Thank you Steve for your determination in getting my car running. I would have given up long ago. Time for new plugs!

I hope you guys are right. I would hate for the car to have another problem, especially now that Steve needs it as his primary transportation. I will probably go help him out as soon as my food digests a little. Thanks.

I want to stay away from swapping solonoids since I never found out why my old carb did the things it did. I think I will wait for skip to find his wiring diagram before I try splicing stuff.

Thanx for your help, but I havent fixed it yet. I had way too much work to do last night and class all today (engineering isnt easy). Trogdor's engine just gave out so now I need to fix it so he can drive something to work.

The 2 I have plugged in are choke and some other actuator. The 2 unplugged wires are to the solonoid. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/raverjames21/detail?.dir=/My+Photos&.dnm=8bde.jpg Solonoid. Car wont even star right now so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advanced.

Where in the hell have you found E=voltage. V = voltage in every book I have. You classes must not be engineering classes because out of 3 books I have, not one has E as voltage. That is why I was confused. E is usually used as energy or in strain/deformation equations. V=IR is a good equation but needs to be modified if something is in parallel.

That is why I asked if you knew the difference between the 2 carbs. I dont even know where to begin to look for info on my new carb. It was purchased from lostwater and I have no Idea what it came out of. I am sure someone on this board has a car with the 4 wire carb. I might need to see if lostwater has any info on it.

So how would one wire it in since this carb has 2 wires and my old one had one? Do you know the difference between the 2 carbs?

Looks kinda like the anti diesel solonoid. Mine isnt quite that large but similar. I thought it was a sensor as it looks like the 02 on my Nissan.
