The Dude Abides

That would seem easy to me. Your not getting a high of a spark then your idleing but when your movin you create a bigger spark. Seems you have an ignition problem wheather it be plugs, wires, cap, rotor, disty, or coil. You choose.

Ill work on it tomorrow. Tomorrows my birthday, i hate my birthday. I might as well do something fun.

thats 88 or newer for FI:)

You seriously need a headcound of what year and model of subaurs you have. I saw 5 in one shot just lined up;

The GL is more luxo then the Loyales are. As i said before, i would get the GL for the low range alone. See if you can find a GL-10 or even a touring wagon. There even more luxo then the standard GL. And make for dam sure its a 5 speed not an automatic.

I have the push button 4wd and it is limited to its capability as a 4wd vehicle. YOu may only need 4low in your one time in owning the vehicle but it will be worth it.

A clean MAF and New filter helped a bit. Probally wasnt hardly getting any air with the wet muddy filter. Still has some problems so heres whats going to happen. Replace the PCV - because it probally needs it Clean IAC - because it probally needs it Run the D-check - figure out whats wrong and how to run the check lol Seafoam - because it probally needs it

Do you have an express line at the DOT or something.

Congrats Man. Marriage can be an interesting thing. Good luck and god bless.

My understanding is that you can clean them and as long as there still clicking back and forth there good.

To clean my iac valve i need to take my car off the road.

And screw the lama i want a properly working soob in my life. Buy they way, check craigslist for more subarus to make your neighbor mad.

Of all this brent this makes the least sence. Im not throwing a code. It is running far worse then it was before the trip but im not throwing a code. In all seriousness is the DL that stripped down they wouldnt have a CEL. I can try to check for codes but who knows. Ive already cleaned out the maf and ill be replacing the filter and pcv valve today. Its still idleing higher which blows my mind. I have no idea what could be causeing that.

Round tube with not much in it.

How

Found some other interesting possible culprets. Pulled the airbox off. Found a wet and dirty air filter. Took it off and looked at a dirty maf. There was definately some muddy water in here at one point. Im leaving the air filter out until i can pick up a new one in the morning and i cleaned out the maf but doesnt seem to of cleaned out to many problems. Looked into the throttle body and it looks clean.

I think im going to put the rear discs on my car this weekend but im debating on replaceing the clips. They are rusty, but the pads seem ok. What do i need to tell the parts guy when im asking for these since its obvious my car didnt come with rear discs. Maybe ill replace the pads but the ones that came with the set are just fine. Ben

LOL i have a DL with no tach. Im guessing probally 500rpm more then usual.

Id be interested in knowing if you could dye those in other colors like amber.

Its idleing high now.

Ok if you want longevity you need to be looking at a manual tranny. Learn to use it because they will outlast most auto trannys.

Id love to get a legacy for my dd. But then at this point id love anything with A/C. What year is your legacy NJ and what motor is in that one.

I have silverstar glass lights on my dl and think they work great. Ive had this discussion about the nighthawks on the dodge caravan forum. They tell me that with that light system the nighthawks are better. I havent tried this yet but i will let the forum know my results. Im 2 years into the silverstar sealed beams and they work great. I used them every day since i drive home in the dark.

I have limited time behind the ea81 engine in brents Brat but that seems like a fine engine. The ea82 i duno. Definately lacking in power but i think its ok. Seems to do the job and lots of people get over 250k out of them. So they can be all bad now can they.

Grinding down that spacer could be a pain in the butt though. I know it probally sounds stupid but would a stack of washers do the same job.
