The comments are all great, however can't someone give advice on... Advice on buying parts that is what sources (company) are currently in business.

Great advice, thanks all, but I need even more advice. I should pull the engine to replace the clutch and this will make all the above work easier, correct. Advice on buying parts that is what sources (company) are currently in business.

poor subaru, has sat since clutch gave out. I want to refresh all parts, new clutch, may need heads, but I can do leak or compression test when I get that far. Anyone want to suggest best way to make this thread fun????

So my 11yr old grandson is visiting, we are taking a engine apart for fun. He is learning how to use wrenches and socket and we are having a great time. However, this old chicago rusty engine now has me at a standtill, I don't want to bore him so I think he as seen enough of removing stuck fasteners and so the rest of the disassembly need to go smoothly. I can't seem to remove the distributor, I've soaked the joints, and hammered it, but it's not coming out. Am I doing something wrong? The ear on the distributor for the bolt is broken off, the aluminum distributor is also now broken off from my pounding and I the outer hollow shaft and the rotating spring advance assembly are all that's left. No force seems to make the outer portion move.

GD suggested I can get the FSM for electrical for my 93 loyale JF1AC4226PC200963. I was thrilled, so I called my local Subaru dealership, said not available, doubted anything was available. Did I try the wrong Dealer, the Parts guy did remember the Loyale, checked with his manager, said not available.

I have a 1993 Loyale, pre ODBII so scanner's don't work. I believe there was a way to jumper the ODB 1 socket to get codes. I also have manuals which refer to connectors which can be connected for diagnosis, but the descriptions in my manuals don't allow me to identify the correct connectors. I'd really like the electrical schematics , I missed a factory service manual set, the other day, already sold. I do see some sets but they omit the electrical schematic volume. I do see on-line 'dvd' suppliers but comments suggest they are frauds, so any suggestions? Even old posts which may help would be great. This is such a great car, it should never die....

Idle problems 93 Loyale EA82, 3sp auto 2 wd 4dr sedan Idle too low stalls in cold, when warm runs fine. Idle goes high, 2000rpm? as it warms. Vacuum seem fine, no leaks ( sprayed starter fluid at all vacuum hose joints. Tap into AT vacuum line w/ vacuum gauge, is in green ~ 21", drops to maybe 15 on throttle fast press, goes right back up. to green in few secs. Raise rpm, to 2500 or 3000? Vacuum stays steady after brief dip. Can pull codes if I can identify ODB I black and green plugs, don't seem to be around fuse panel, any suggestions? Thanks for your help, Subaru made such good cars in 80's and 90s, now trying to obsolete them my limiting parts??? Anywhere I can fine new or used TBI or parts to rebuild?

Is Subaru discontinuing to sell parts for '80' or older parts?

I guess this wasn't the private messege section huh? duh? went to your profile? 'clicked on your name and sent same message. Is that how you private message?

Great, just let me know I'll be happy to pay for it and shipping. I live in Chicago Suburbs. Brian Burke 4N070 Swift Rd. Addison, IL. 60101 my strange street address " 4N070" is not recognized my UPS and FeEx's database but will work anyway, just find the " use this address anyway" button. I also have Chase Bank which allows me to send money to someone securely, my wife know all the details if that interests you. Otherwise I'll arrange what ever you like.

Car leaking at Rear Glass (back windsheild??). Leaking at lower right corner. I had the rear glass removed and reinstalled. To remove rear glass you need to remove the two plastic side vent covers. I need the right cover, the sister lost the part and I can't even find a part no. in any of the online part supplier drawings. 93 Loyale Sedan Rear Glass Side Vent Covers (plastic) these cover openings on each side of the rear glass which let air which enters the cabin from the cowl to exit the cabin. The covers fit well and stop any water from getting in. I have a few photos. Can anyone tell me what Subaru calls these? Or, what the part numbers or section of the Subaru parts catalog to look in? They press on/in and the clips are old plastic and can break. My glass guy got the left side off with only one clip breaking and was able to reinstall it by gluing the broken clip.

Electrical gremlins, old relays? moving seat belts sometimes get stuck, or don't move. Now running (position) lights don't go off when all off and key removed? I can only find a few relays, need relay locations and complete car schematic. I have Chilton's Total Care manual but it only shows major engine schematics. It's a great car, everything simple and easy to work on, I've kept it running for my Mother in Law for the last ten years with minimal expences. She's retired on Soc. Security and it's cost less than a couple hundred dollars a year for all this time.

New fiberglass wings, for a brat?? Haven't heard of these, any details on source would be appreciated.

Can you tell us how you hooked a wideband O2 sensor, How do you power it (I believe wideband O2 sensors have a heater)? How do you read it? I think at the basic they are Zirconium dioxide devices which produce a millivolt output dependent on the O2 concentration.

Reading through the post, I have a 2WD Loyale sedan Vin JF1AC4226PC200963 and Napa suggested the KYB 341063 for $75 ea plus shipping Shockwarehouse wants $32 each, still dickering re: shipping. Any thoughts? Do I need a spring compressor to remove shock from spring assembly?
