Elmer the 86 subaru 4x4 wagon , my question why is my mpg only 20mpg ??
late carb'd models sold in CALIFORNIA (will say federal or california under hood) had computer controlled carbs that had O2 sensor. look at your underhood placard and see if it is conforms to 1986 california or federal emissions standards

2003 Subaru Forester | violent engine shake, idle | stalls out wont accelerate
Ricearu replied to Shera1231's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCould be dead ignition coil. one side could be failing.

broken idler pulley, bent valves, maybe more- what to do?
Ricearu replied to otis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou shouldn't take the ez out on this. I would make the dealer FIX IT FOR FREE for not changing the IDLERS when they did the timing belt. ANY DEALER SHOULD KNOW THIS AND IT'S NEGLEGANCE!!! (as long as you didn't opt out of the idlers) and if said dealer had to do my headgaskets TWICE, I would never go there again. I would take it to ANOTHER DEALER I'm sorry this happened and I hate to see non mechanically oriented people get RAPED by dealers... have a lawyer draw up papers on them. you won't even need to go to court. they will get scared and do it. also get ahold of subaru of america. they don't play with dealers. 1-800-SUBARU3

if you leave the catalytic converter in place, It provides just about any backpressure the engine needs.

Tinted my windows 20% all the way around and ordered a black can muffler off ebay. I love UEL manifolds. Crappy mufflers still sound good

Machine the nick in this head? With pic
Ricearu replied to larrykjr's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthey may have to be redone because they used fel-pro's. make sure you use subaru dealer Multi Layer Steel gaskets. price is fair and worth it in the long run!

90- Legacy dies...
Ricearu replied to Eljefe's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmine was doing that. even more so on right hand turns. my fuel pump was yowling at the top of it's lungs for like a week, then last weekend she stopped working altogether. It's got a Walbro 255 in it now!

Head gasket on the Legacy Again!
Ricearu replied to papalobster's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXjust get a true bar and check the block, then have the heads decked, use dealer gaskets and headbolts if yours are stretched. i don't bother with chain parts for engine internal stuff. valve cover gaskets whatever ok, but no headgaskets/intake gaskets etc.

99 Forester Headgaskets?
Ricearu replied to SUBARU3's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI love our fozzy. It handles good, is comfy and roomy. I would keep it and sell that chevy astro-van. Where you from? I'm out by midlothian. what dealer did you take it to, subaru of plano? that's where I get all my parts from.

running rich, poor fuel mileage
Ricearu replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmy 90 leggy with 2.2 gets about 25. 26 on a good day. bad FPR would probobly make your mileage more like 17-18. more likely that a few mpgs could be attributed to sensors fatiguing, like lazy O2 sensor or dirty maf, or even a "dead" spot in the tps at cruising position (my gl did that).

darn. what about the panel under the steering wheel that covers the column and wiring. mine is hot glued in 4 pieces and still staberific! if the grey one is nice, i can make it blue with interior paint.

91-92 Legacy parts compatibility
Ricearu replied to 1982gl4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi put a turbo hood on my 93 with no problems, I tried to put my facelift front end on my 90 and the headlight and grille holes are misaligned. Too bad you aren't closer i would trade you straight up because this 90's face has grown on me. and i want a hoodscoop dangit

Strange Turn Signal Behavior
Ricearu replied to jboymechanic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like a texas uhaul install. (used to work for uhaul and had to fix alot of wiring under warranty by a few goomba's that used ttaps from the kits. I always cut back the insulation and soldered them in, then taped over very orderly. NEVER had any returns.

My foz has one! First I had ever seen. It was part of the OUTDOOR package 2 on mine. also came with front push bar. which is also cool as he!! It had the gauge, "brush guard" and forester logo? they are really rare at $662 for the package...

To paint transmission or not? tasteful dress-up opinions?
double up on the duplicolor wheel silver. it's really tough and meant for aluminum and looks super good. paint it wheel silver, then clear it.

How I fixed the loud ticking lifter...
Ricearu replied to fiber_tek's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX+1 I use 15w-40 Rotella in any of my engines over 100k or so. It quieted piston slap in the foz ej25d even. my lifters got quiet in both the GL and the 90 leg ej22 been doing it for many years and it's CHEAP. its 12.50 a gallon at walmart, sometimes it goes on sale at oreilly's for 9.99 a gallon. I usually buy 6 or so.
