3at rocks:headbang:

my 86 gl wagon, carbed engine has got a very oily air filter now, could this be from a sticky pcv valve, all the vac hoses have oil in them too. the engine runs good , no reduction in power, kinda weird

try driving it to a dirt road if you can. my 86 gl dual range had a hard time shifting out of 4x4 before i got all the same new tires, it would only shift out on dirt or snow. just not dry pavement

thats a beautiful thing, we have to get our sons interested in nature and cars, so we will have another generation of subie lovers

ditto on the firearms subies , and bow hunting:headbang:

no subaru is ugly, their like kids , love is blind

Agreed .....wagons rock.. im taking off everything but the shell on my parts car. .. but its in a pole barn ,, so no hurry for me

i love northern california, its beautiful, i use to live in mt shasta Ca, but they have stupid gun laws, emissions laws, and everything in the state of california is known to cause cancer, i dont want cancer so i wont live there..

dr rocks if your running 29's, im sold for sure on it

cool.. hook two batteries in series and see what happens, lol. i have the same problem with my 98 forrester. everything is new still cranks slow3, but always starts

if i leave tonite ill get there in 4 days.. dang it. too far away

i use a silicone grease, its more expensive than vaselene, but it stays on longer in the heat, vaselene is good too, it keeps the corrosion off

in michigan we have a lot of dual range ea82's with rusted bodies, with no chassis to put them in to:-\

the dash guage sensor only has one spade terminal on it , and the cts has a two prong plastic plug., check the ohms between the two sensors, my manual says 3000 ohms cold and 800 hot,

I heard you guys got a whole lot of rain, ill have to make a trip out there and bring a 4 place car trailer whith me , and snag some of thoes 250 dollar beauties and bring them home to the rust belt, its a little closer than the west

the speed control is done by a series of three resistor coils under the passenger side dash near the fan motor, their is a thread here someware that has pictures, anyhow their easly replaced, less than 5 minits, you can get a known good one from a junk yard , or you can make new coils with nichrome wire and solder them in, either way its very easy

i used a cutoff tool, (a small 3 inch thin air grinder) and sliced the doj just enough to crack it , taking care not to grind to deep so you ruin the splines. and used a good sharp chisle and a v bfh

for diagnostics most shops around hereuse co2 to pressure test a system, liquid co2 to blow any debris out, like burnt compressor parts. yikes

awsome right hand ea81:headbang:

would a coolant temp sensor malfunction cause the engine to idle fine then drop off and for a half second then idle fine and repeat this randomly, i have been having this problem for a week, have checked all the simple things to no avail..thanks

as nipper says, the system has to be evacuated, and a vacuum has to be pulled on the system. this does a few things, one it removes all the moisture, it removes all the incompatable r12 oil, and it also checks for any remaining leaks, once the system its on a state of vacuum, (i give it at least 45 minuts), you can fill the system, first the oil charge , then the remaining r134a. look for the ac specs on the hood to see how much in ounces to fill the system, or a F S manual, i have seen some air compressor powerd vacuum pumps online for 25 or 30 bucks. chiltons has a manual that covers automotive ac systems, its a good read, and comes with flowcharts, and explains the tools of the trade ie vacuum pumps manifold guages etc.

cool. maby i can hook up a resevor and a washer pump, sweet smoke screen any time i want. i gotta do that

sweet ...thanks all. off to the junkyard in a blizzard. we get lake effect snow here real bad. fun fun fun

sorry ... the broken car is a 86 gl 4x4 the parts car is a 1990 loyale 4x4

walked out this morning and noticed that my right rear wheel was bent in about 5 inches at the top, my control arm (right rear) rusted thru . its just hanging on by a little bit of metal at the top, yikes. does any one know if i can use a control arm from a 1990 loyale 4x4, their is one at the local u pull jy, i could get the whole thing from driveshaft to drum heck even the shock, it looks new, they look the same to me, thanks in advance
