  5. Okay guys, I had some time yesterday to take a look at what the shop had done. 1) I started by removing the timing covers and locating the timing marks at the back of the motor. They did install the timing belts correctly as they said they did. 2) I checked the vacuum hoses to make sure there were none off the motor, they were fine. 3) I checked the firing order on the distributor and 1-3-2-4, they were fine.....but wait, something didnt look right!! I removed the number one spark plug and brought it to TDC. The timing marks lined up okay but after removing the distibutor cover the rotor was pointing to the drivers side rear of the motor. My manual said that number one cylinder should be the passenger rear side of the motor. I came to the conclusion that the distributor was incorrectly positioned, so I decided to pull it and relocate the rotor to align with what my manual said. I reinstalled the spark plug, made sure to change the spark plug wires at the cap to coincide with the rotor and decided to give it a try. YEAH!!! IT FIRED RIGHT UP AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF PLAYING WITH THE TIMING IT WAS IDLEING!!!! I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! THE DISTRIBUTOR WAS MISALIGNED!! I let it run for approximately 10-15 mins, it came up to temp and continued to run great, great throttle response and everything!!! Now here is a question, how do I clear the old codes that were showing up??? If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks for the help and I will have the car back on the road very soon!!!! I am so excited!
  6. Thanks guys, I will check the wires this weekend. I know that the shop only had ONE mechanic that knew what he was doing with the older subarus because he had worked on them in the past, they have double checked the timing. The gas is regular, so I will do a couple of additives this weekend and I know they did "spray" around the motor to check for vacuum leakes. They did check compression and double checked the distributor to make sure everything was right. I think the interior coming out is a good first step, I appreciate everything and will keep you posted.

  8. They said they have double checked the timing belts and yes it is MPI. I am trying to attach a pic too! I dont know if it will work.
  9. I am fairly new to this site but have been on here looking at posts to help me with my 1987 Subaru XT coupe, it has the 1.8 EA82T motor. I have had this car in the shop since July 2008 and NO ONE there can figure it out....So I am hoping that all you subie motor heads can give me some advice on how to fix this car. FYI, this is my second Xt, I had one when I was in school and loved it so much. I came across this one and thought "why not" . Okay here is some history of the car. The previous owner bought the car with a blown motor. He bought a motor from a salvage yard and gave up after he couldnt get it running. I bought it from him and removed the salvage motor because after I got it from him, I did get it running but it was making a really bad squeal. I had my friend who is a ford mech listen and he said there was something internal wrong. So I bought a rebuilt motor, put it in the car and hooked everything up....then, coolant fluid everywhere!! It was coming from the back of the turbo unit...so I sent the turbo out to be rebuilt. I got the turbo back, still coolant fluid everywhere. I sent it to the shop and here is where the story gets good. They looked at the motor and found a crack in one of the heads, no problem, I had four extra hanging around. I took them up to him and they took the motor out, replaced the heads, all the gaskets etc. Now it has no coolant leakes, but it runs very rough, it will not idle, you have to keep feathering the gas to keep it running. The shop is stumped. They replaced: the distributor, wires, cap, rotor, coil, plugs, fuel filter, air filter, air flow meter, fuel pump, checked timing belts and timing, made sure the wiring harness was the right one for the car, tried another ECU. They have tested all the connectors at the CTS and TPS and say those check out. They gave me codes that were noted: 21,23,34,35,42 and 44. NOW, here is what I was wondering? I saw that someone had an issue close to mine and they found that the fuel injector wires were crossed, does this sound like it may be possible? Also, I did ask if they drained the gas tank....they did not...could this be the problem?? The shop has given up and I have a car that still does not run right !! I love this car and want to get it running!!! PLEASE HELP!! I KNOW IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME IT IS YOU GUYS!! and it only has 76,000 miles on the body.....
