sho

had to break down and sent it to the repair shop . i'm outta time so i had to do it . i'll let you all know what happened next.Stay tuned......

i've check the fuel pressure after the fuel pump and it reads very good. on the gauge that i use, it shot up to 60psi, i know thats not normal, but hell it has enough pressure. took the exhaust half way off to see if thier is a exhaust blockage. still doing that right now.update again soon.

the car i'm workin on did the samething but on the passenger side pistons. still haven't found the problem.the car died and i still can't get it to start. good luck, i'll be watching your thread. feel free to look what i've done: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14559

alright, this is where i stand now. i'm leaving town for a week in 6 days, i've got till then to fix this car. heres what i did today. i changed the Coil pack with a good one (big spark, really bright), i changed out the fuel pressure regulator. i listened for the injectors to tick while someone started the car, i heard the ticking in all four. i sprayed starting fluid into the intake manifold, and tried to start it. It still turns over like always, but doesn't start. weird. i figured that the starting fluid would at least ignite. still don't smell any gas. the only thing i could think of is that the fuel pump isn't creating enough pressure. any ideas?

i've looked @ that already and still no start. i'm gonna check the ECU and Ignitor later today. since my last post i've changed the fuel regulator and coil pack. i've cleaned the trottle body and intake manifold. it starting to think its the engine.

i might have to try doing that again. thanx

update: the compression check came out ok. all cylinders are within spec. i've tried to start it after i did the compression check. i have a 2nd gen rx7 and when i try to start it for a long while i smell gas. on the legacy, as many times as i've tried to start it, i don't smell any. i know thier is going power to the fuel pump, i can hear the fuel pump when i turn the key, the injectors are ok will thier be a problem with the fuel?

update: i checked the timing and the timing was way off. i still need to do the compression check. i'm just wondering if the vavles are still ok. car still didn't start. gonna try and jump the car tomorrow cause the battery might be low on charge.

i've cleaned the IAC w/brake cleaner ,opens and closes smoothly. i tested the IAC using the FSM procedure it checks out execpt for the resistance. i do kno that it is bad. would the IAC cause the car to not start? the battery has been disconnected since last night, so i'm goning to run the codes again. will i still be able to clear the ecu even if the car won't start?( i've read your procedure on that Leacy777) i won't be able to get the car warmed up to clear the codes. i'll follow up when i get off work. i've been able to stall for time on this guys car. thanx again guys

i got the car with an oil leak and codes 24 and 35. the acceleration was awful, but it moved. after the engine was sprayed and i removed the 35 code it ran like a champ. i let it sit for about a week (starting it every other day), i changed out the starter, plugs, plug wires and cleaned the egr valve on the intake manifold.then the car seemed like it was running on two cylinders. i did put back the old wires, nothing. i even put back the old plugs.still nothing.i also changed out the coil pack. the car still won't start. weird...............

already bought a new one @ NAPA. i need to wait on the compression checker. is thier anything else that i must have forgotten to put back on? gonna check the spark again tomorrow afternoon.

i'm sure it's in the right order. i just changed out the coil, but to no avail. i just hear the starter turning the motor. any other suggestions?

i'm working on a 91 legacy AT w/MPFI. i changed the oil pan gasket and sprayed (cleaned) the engine down 2 weeks ago. then i checked for codes on the ecu. i got a 35 and 24, i was able to fix the 35 code. i got another one from the junk yard and cleaned it out with brake cleaner like everyone said on the forum, it tested fine, but the code was still thier after the reset. i went ahead and changed the starter, plugs and plug wires. after all all was done the engine started to run crappy. my dad tok the car when i got some lunch, and broke down across the street. after that the car didn't start. i checked too see if fuel was being delivered, fuel was present. i checked to see if their was a spark issue, spark was present but not bright. i cant figure out whats wrong. any help is appreciated. thanx in advance

does anyone know where the ECU is on a 91 legacy wagon?
