So, what are you going to use the express up feature for? Is it for when your at McDonalds, the drive-thru dude gives you the food, then you press "Express-up" and peal out so you don't have to pay for it?

Now since its the opposite side, will it still fit in the door molding? Aren't the swtich panels kinda oblong?

I've noticed it will increase fuel mixture, and run rich. You're code was P0136 yeah?

Next thing up will have to be a new trans pan seal, I believe its cork? They don't use that Suba-seal BS like on the new ones do they?

Aha, good to know!

The plan for this car now, is to get it running perfect again (via new MAF) wait till I find a 5spd EA82 on craigslist that isn't a complete POS, look at it, buy it, then sell the Legacy for $2,500 as is, or $2,000 without the 16" wheels as they are spoken for.

Yes, the switch is what has the feature (Not the motor) if thats what you were thinking. Every time I see a Postal Legacy in the junkyard, it has crank windows (Cause its a Brighton postal)

Made sure it was not the wires, yep, its the unit its self. As for unplugging it and driving around the block, that would not happen, the moment you unplug it, it stalls (Even if you have the RPMs up) stalls right away.

Was it only on the 2.2? I wonder why?

Was is a 4EAT or a 5-spd? Cause only the Autos have an EGR.

Finally took care of my engine light, had to replace the EGR solenoid. No more light! Got a new Genuine part from Carquest for $50.

+1 to that.

Ok, well, I took it off cleaned up some of the carbon build up it had (Not much) put it back on and replaced all the vac lines going to that and the ones on top of the intake (close to the TB) That was not the issue since it started acting up again just a mile down the road. SO, when I got home, it was still running like complete crap, I tapped the top of the MAF with my finger and that would make it run worse (If you tapped it harder it would stall) I am thinking this is a bad Mass Air Flow Sensor? Am I'm right?

I replaced the FRP with another from the junkyard out of a Impreza. I also replaced most of the old Vac lines with new. Nice and snug Vs. sloppy (Like the town whore) Not sure if its fixed or not. Question, can a Sticking EGR cause this type of issue? I noticed that the EGR seems to get stuck during revving, so I help it along with my finger and then it starts working like normal.

New Genuine EGR Solenoid for the EA82, Light is now gone! Now if only the Legacy was this easy to fix

So after inspecting the plugs, turns out they have some white build up on the electrode (Which is caused from running lean) The smell of the exhaust is not full of fuel, but more of a carbon smell. So I don't know? I put new NGK plugs in as I have to start somewhere, going to see what results I get now. While running, I noticed the EGR didn't more with revving, so I push it up by hand and now it moves, can this be a cause? I've heard the EGR won't affect much other then start ups (If I'm correct?)

I have a scanner and have tried pulling codes, passes everytime.

I do not follow the markings on the belt or tooth count. I just make sure everythings lined up and stick the belt on. I have never done a timing belt on a EJ25D and am not sure about the tensioner design. Don't rely on markings except those on the sprockets and block.

You really need to see "This" in person again soon.

Dude! I know Fox hasn't posted in this thread yet, but I assure you, he is lurking (Just wait) As for the $2,500 jump, why not? Thats what Fox got for that red Brighton, so if he thinks that car was worth that, then for sure this car is. I'm not even sure if any of these sensors have failed, I am going with pretty much everything that controls Air/Fuel mixtures and allowance of fuel. There is no doubt this car is being fed way to much fuel, the plugs are black, the MPG has probably gone down to 10mpg as of today as Jon and I both know. The system keeps flooding its self out.

This has to be an issue with the fuel system and the corresponding sensors. Looking at MAP, MAF, FPR, Injector. I took an Ohm reading on all 4 Injectors and came back with 12.5 Ohms on all except driver side front which varied from 12.0-Ohms to 12.3-Ohms (Is this ok?) Specs for 1995-1998 Injectors is 5-20 Ohms. So I guess my next step is to get these featured parts from the junkyard and see if anything changes. Is a MAF from a First generation EJ22 the same as a '95 EJ22? They are both 5 pin connectors, is there any difference in resistances? Also, will a FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) and MAP (Manifold Atmospheric Pressure sensor) from a 1997 EJ25 be the same as a EJ22?

Yeah thanks, this POS is to the point wheres its almost un-drivable trying to keep it running. Went to my bud Jon's house today with it, we went to the junkyard and it stalled, and coming back tonight it ran the worst its ever been, stalled twice and I blew thru stop signs trying to keep it running. I am looking at getting, MAF, MAP, and an FPR, between Jon, Lynn (His dad) Me and my dad, we are thinking its one of these things. I also need to get new plugs now since they are fouled to the hilt. Fox, you want a Trashwagon so bad? Come buy this one for $2,500 as is with everything. If you thought the Brighton was worth $2,500 then you know this one is...

We'll just say that, I can drive to Muskego, by the time I get there, I'm down to 3/4-tank. Whereas the Dodge barely moves off "Full" And you know from my house to Muskego is a straight shot down Racine Ave. So WTF. Over-fueled (No sh*t)

Sure thing, no problem. Wish you the best of luck!
