Misfire cly 3 & 4
Ricearu replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot only that, the center core will recede into the insulator as it erodes. making it even harder to spark. I HATE bosch platinums... NGK anything is better by far. also, wife's 98 forester did this when it rained mainly, replaced wires, with NGK wires from rockauto.com, WITH dielectric grease on each end to keep water out and no more shakey shakey when it rains! Flashing check engine light means repeat misfires and possible catalytic converter damage... try not to run it long like that or the cat can melt inside from excessive unburnt fuel going through it heating it up.

How big of lift requires dropping of drivetrain?...
2" is pushing it without other mods. most 4" kits include 3" subframe and diff drops. the goal for ground clearance is tires. look to sjrlift.com or others for goodies. also, your car is ea82 if you didn't know. Happy Lifting!

Clicking Sound Near TB ???
Its the injector. These cars only have one large injector and it is noisy

Fixing a ruined bolt hole with JB weld?
+1 on insert. The jb can't hold real torque. Its a plastic. Use the insertt and if its a water jacket bolt, use sealant when you install it and the bolt
-
TBI injector failed suddenly/while driving???
Use the kit on ebay that includes the tensioners and idler. Its worthit to not have one lock up and eat the belts in 10k miles and only like 60 bucks. I got 35k on mine before the hg blew...

Cold Air Intake Mod?
just look into the maf and see how big the port is. then you will understand that bigger filter is useless

My New Ride
Ricearu replied to SubaruJawn's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdude I learn't the hard way with those f-1 clutches off of ebay. I had one in my integra back in the day and it sucked. engagement sucked, it kicked the pedal back when you were letting out, and did not grip for S#!T. I had a modded B18A with no stupid vtec, just cams, pistons, head work and intake manifold, and that car would slip that f-1 "stage 2" but an exedy stage 1 held it and had tons better pedal feel and engagement. also, i have an ej22 leg and a ej25d forrester and I wouldn't trade my deucedeuce for nothing.

So, I got a "NEW" legacy... a little help on this one
I used to own a 93 lego wagon and loved it. I had it a while and then the trans went out. I attempted to swap in a 5 speed as opposed to auto... I ran out of time/patience and parted out the car. Long story short, I was unwilling to get rid of the hood and bumper because they were from a SS and I wanted another legacy wagon... I was also conveniently left with front fenders, headlights and grille. The lego I bought had a smashed pass fender. The question here is, what do I need to make this front end fit the 1990 I just bought? The bumper support doesn't fit the foam insert/bumper, and it looks like the headlights won't line up either. should I just swap the fenders and markers and just move on? I REALLY want my SS front end on it. old one new one

Is this worth it? 2002 Outback
Ricearu replied to gdcpony's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi almost bought a 2002 obw with 100k down here in the south from a dealer for 4500. Run away. CRAIGSLIST is your homie. if you like that body style, go ahead and buy one that has 170k+ because you know at that point the head gaskets have been done! lol.

92 Loyale "Clunking" on acceleration
go to another autozone. i have never had that problem. it must be the counter jerk. they CONSTANTLY have junk rump roast axles. I mean half of them are bad. I would demand my money and my core back if they deny the warranty. get the manager. throw a s#!t fit about it and go buy one from oreilly if you have it or parts plus car quest. autozone and advance are about the same junk. I have warranteed 4 axles or more from oreilly's. that is why it is a LIFETIME warranty. I can see if they deny the warranty because your car is lifted 4" and eats axles every week because your subframe isn't dropped lol but over 1 bad axle. screw that employee. complain to the manager, if it was the manager, complain to the area/district manager. that's horses#!t sorry for the rant. I just HATE autozone both corporate and the idiots they hire. not many real parts people will work for them... they all work at napa and oreilly. p.s. don't disassemble the axle. they won't take it back. the last axle I warranteed clunked like you say, right out of the box. alot of those "rebuilt" axles will be "within spec" on the inner because it hardly ever fails. the outer just about always gets replaced. but rarely do they replace the hard parts on the inners. they just clean and inspect and regrease/reboot. I went through 4 axles one day for a civic. too long, too short, clunking and finally a good one.

Gurus needed....car's down!
I believe the 85-86 had a fuel pump controller that turned it on when the tach wire sensed revolutions. just a note. it should show 0 volts when off as far as i know. when on, it should show 12-14 when on and running. there won't be a very big volt drop from battery to pump because the pump is the load. I would do a rewire on the one you have. that's just me

thanks. i did some backyard diagnostics and found that when I unplug the maf sensor, the car no longer bucks and surges like a madman. It runs better than it has in a LONG time just off the base map. I do believe I need a new maf if anyone has one!

I bought THIS! The GL is uuber pissed. It literally backfired through the filter. And it is running slobbering rich and pissed off. I just spent $225 on a full new exhaust for the gl complete with "long tube" custom header to 2in1out mangnaflow high flow cat, and coolant flush and much more. STILL, It refuses to pull hills and such... DOES ANYONE HAVE A SPFI SPARE INJECTOR I COULD HAVE, I NEED TO SEND 1 TO OSIDETIGER.COM AND I COULD SEND BACK MINE to you once I have it installed.. I think mine is dirty or sticky and just pissin the fuel into my engine instead of atomizing it. I cannot explain why I get 20mpg or less over the last few months. new 02 sensor, stock size-ish tires, and all highway driving at 60-65mph. It also slowly overheats if I exceed 55mph anyways, the GL will be parked for the time being as I bought me a new daily driver. its got some slight body damage and needs a pass front fender but she is AWD 5 SPEED with 181k and i paid $650 cash with clear title! :banana:
