Ever since I switched out my ej25 for an ej22 in my 98 outback My car has been intermittently throwing the 0400 code. So far I have found a bad Backflow transducer but I also notice the egr solenoid only opens for a second on engine start and then closes. The egr valve checks fine and is not that dirty. I just cant get vacuum to it.Off the car the solenoid with 14 volts applied functions fine. With the key on I have battery voltage to the connector for the solenoid but when hooked up there is no voltage across the terrminls at the connector. Obviously a large voltage drop. Anyway should there be constant voltage to the solenoid when the key is on or is it intermittent? The solenoid shows 44 ohms across the terminals supposedly in spec.

Well I'm in the middle of an 96 ej22 transplant into a 98 outback. Just pulled the ej25 engine on the 98 and the flywheel is toast (many hairline radial heat cracks). The ej22 was an automatic so I don't have it's flywheel While trying to save money I found a used ej22 flywheel on ebay. I already purchased the clutch for the ej25 flywheel that I planned to use on the ej22 transplant. Can I use a flywheel from an ej22 with the ej25 clutch? There are conflicting posts in the forum on this subject. Anyone have the definitive word?

Thanks again two more questions My AC compressor is shot on the 98 Can I take the compressor from the ej22? Also since the ej22 came from an automatic should I buy a cluthch kit for the ej22 or the ej25? You guys are great. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info. I found a 96 ej22 from a 96 automatic. I have a 5speed is there any problem with the swap. I understand I will need the exhaust manifold but are there issues with the tranny hookup

I have an 98 legacy outback with an ej25 with 211,000 miles. The head gasket is blown and I don't think with that many miles it is worth the repair. Can I swap the engine out for an ej22 from around the same model year?
