Altoona here...not a current Sube owner...but looking at another one (former owner)...a 97 Impreza Outback...

Welcome from Florida!

Guess I was thinking backwards the other day...SHEESH!

Wait...APART??? I thought I read on here that they needed to be together to run...and apart to diagnose... DOH!

I know I'm a Noob here...but I admin a fairly busy Jeep forum...and frankly I have to agree. A troll is a troll...is a TROLL!

Ah...no problem....all good information... I did find the "port" on the bellhousing....and I pulled that little green plug apart and found the contacts to be quite corroded...so I cleaned those up... Where is the temp sending unit on this thing? I think it may be acting up....

Thanks...I gotcha now!

Can you elaborate on this? I know... Doggone Soob Newbs...

OK. I spent some time searching last night...so maybe someone can help me out here. 1990 Loyale Automatic...How do I time this thing? I saw where someone said that you have to time it via the flywheel...but as far as I can see...the flywheel is completely encased within the bellhousing??? I am getting some hellacious spark knock out of this thing...but have not been able to figure out (last night at dusk when I was messing with it) how to time it. For reference, I have been working on Fords, Chevy's, Dodges and Jeeps for over 30 years (almost all of my life)...so I am not a complete mechanical newbie...but I am not completely accustomed to working on these Subes... By the way...a pictures worth a thousand words...

Exactly what I did. I'm not sure what was going wrong, but I could not stem the flow (dripping really) of the fluid. So...the weld seems to be holding, but now I seem to have another problem with the brakes. I started a new thread on that topic.

Well...you tell me....it "seems" like the caliper is sticking or "grabs" when you step on the brake pedal. I mean from what they said...it grabbed so hard it almost spun the car around on our dirt road.

1990 Loyale I am not home, but my dad and my son were trying to remove the front calipers...but couldn't figure out how to......? Is there some sort of trick to taking them off?

That's the thing...no matter how I tried to crimp it, it kept leaking....:-\

I ended up cutting the line off....and welding the hole shut...

I found the leak...in the worst possible location...of course.... :-\ It's been suggested....though I've never done this....that I temporarily patch the leak with JB Weld...anyone ever done this? (emphasis on temporary...just until I can get a replacement line)
