  1. I put in those Autozone ones a few years back and the install was really easy but occasionally one pops out and they are not as strong as the old ones and don't to that good a job holding the hatch open.
  2. Get them from a dealer. Other gaskets are never as good. When I lived over an hour from the nearest dealer I used http://www.premiersubaru.com They were always very helpful and have the online parts tool but I always called on the phone to get the parts. They are based in CT.
  3. PROBLEM SOLVED I have a weak battery so I got out the jumper cables and just started cranking away After about 5 min on and off cranking it fired up with a big white cloud out the tail pipe On a side note I have a new mean sounding rumble like an exhaust leak when the engine is under strain. I used the carb cleaner to check for leaks around the new gaskets but nothing. That Metal ERG tube was difficult to reinstall could the noise be coming from there? IT sounds like its coming from the passenger side.
  4. Plug Wires are installed correctly. When I removed the intake from the engine while replacing the gaskets some coolant went in the crankcase. Could that be causing problems?
  5. I didn't remove any of the fuel lines but I did have plug wires off so I will check those again. I also checked fuses and fusible links and they look ok.
  6. I have a 92 loyale wagon with ~180k miles. I replaced my intake manifold gaskets because one of them was leaking coolant and I did the thermostat and gasket while I was at it. I get everything put back together and and I went to start the car and it almost starts than nothing. I can crank the engine but no start. I have spark and I hear the fuel pump before I crank the engine. I also smell fuel when I remove the air intake from the throttle body so I am assuming there is fuel as well. Any suggestions on what to check next?
  7. Thanks, I gave it a closer look and I can see little bits and parts of the intake gasket.
  8. I have a 92 loyale 4x4 with ~180k miles. Anyway I'm leaking fluid from this pipe that runs from the passenger side block to the intake manifold. Is this something that need a new seal or new part? do I have to remove the manifold to fix/replace the part to stop the leak?
  9. I pulled the oil pump off and the micky mouse gasket was a little swollen and defiantly is not reusable. Perhaps after the first reseal the car ran fine for a few minuets than the gasket slipped out of place causing the loud TOD after 5 minuets of idling? So now I'm trying to decide if i need to replace the oil pump and I came up with a few questions. I'd rather not spend the $100+ for a pump I don't need 1: Does a new pump come with new inner and outer rotors? 2: Is the only way to determine if you need a new pump to measure the rotors? 3: Since the micky mouse gasket didn't seal the first time is there something wrong with the pump or was there user error?
  10. This was mostly a preventative maintenance job. The car has 175K miles and I was doing T-belts and the Water Pump so I did the seals as well. It sat without oil for about a week and it took about 5 min of idling before the TOD started. I have had TOD in the past but nothing major and only intermittent. I did use Genuine subaru seals everywhere. As far as the oil pump condition I don't have the tools to take the measurements called for the the FSM. I visually inspected the inner and outer rotors and didn't notice any problems. The shaft of the inner rotor was warn where it goes through the seal just under the pulley. I did not touch the lifters or cam towers other than replacing the o-ring and seals where the timing belt pulleys sit.
  11. I just got done doing the T-belts and resealing the oilpump and front engine oil seals on my 92 loyale. I also changed the spark plugs. I was letting the car idle in the driveway everything is going good until the engine warms up and a super loud TOD starts up that you can hear form down the block. I've let is sit and cool down and started up again but the TOD is as loud as ever. The oil pressure gauge on the dash is reading well above 45. I think perhaps I may need a new oil pump or the new seals on the oil pump didn't sit right. I Is there anything else I should check before ripping the car apart again?
  12. Here is what I ended up doing. I put the ford fuel pump on, i purchased it new on ebay for $55. The only issue I had was that the hose coming out of the gas tank was 3/8 and the inlet on the pump was 5/16. I just put two hose clamps on it and it not leaking. So far the pump is working well and I have not had to change the fuel pressure regulator (yet).
  13. I've looked up that pump and the NAPA website http://www.napaonline.com/NOLPPSE/(S(ww23rf45sp5zsn55w4m3is55))/Detail.aspx?R=TFP2P74028_0164936949says its a low pressure pump. I guess I'll just go into the store and talk the the guys. I found another pump which might end up working just fine and the specs are close to the original pump http://www.amazon.com/MSD-Ignition-2225-Pressure-Electric/dp/B00029JK5U%3FSubscriptionId%3D1SMHVJB6RMHMQJTXCX02%26tag%3Dstreetperformance-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00029JK5U I'll let you know what I end up doing and how it works out.
  14. I've been researching fuel pumps for EA82 SPFI, they are the expensive ones. The cheapest I can find here in my part of the world is 250 bones. So my questions are 1. Is there a fuel strainer/filter device on the pump? If so is this something standard on all pumps or something I would have to add to a universal pump. 2. I have seen the posts about the ford pump but is seems to be a low pressure pump, the other universal pumps I have seen put out about 100psi. I believe the OEM pump is in the 30-50 range. Can the stock fuel regulator on this engine handle 100 PSI? or will the car need to another fuel regulator ?
