SubyGl

WE WERE WRONG, SO VERY WRONG... j/k though it did die again and made me drive an extra hour to pick up my dad and take him home to let him sort out towing. It did run much better with the new injector but were sure its an ignition issue now. We know its not fuel because it ran like a clock for the few weeks it did.

Turns out it was simply the fuel injector, which on a car with only one fuel injector can cause quite a few problems.

pulled codes, checked ignition module, checked fuel pump relay, checked fuses, checked everything else mentioned here, noda. dad finally got tired of it being in the shop after 2 weeks and its now in the local suby dealerships care.

We're taking another look at the distributor but I found out I'm mistaken and its actually and 88 GL instead of 87.

not the fuel pump because it come on if we put the car in the code check mode.

Distributor is all good, everything tight and in its place, sorry for not mentioning i check that. Dad thinks it may be the ecm or ignition control because it sounds like its firing at the wrong time. Hes thinking the ignition control or ecm is connected to the fuel pump relay and keeping it from coming on.

anybody happen to have the wiring diagram or instructions to find the fuel pump relay?

Sorry, everything else works fine electrically and it will crank but it won't start.

Hopefully its something simple like that.

Apologies for the vague title but we really arent sure whats wrong at this point. A few days ago we were headed out in the wagon when it just dead stopped, we figured a timing belt went or it skipped a tooth, no problem, tow it home and take the covers off, both timing belts are perfect and timing is right on. Dad goes to reset the ecu and see if it will start after double checking everything, still no start, turn the key and... silence, the fuel pump isnt coming on in normal mode even though it just came on in check mode? we have spark and the fuel pump does work in check mode but not in normal running mode, we arent sure at this point if its the ecm or fuel pump relay. Thanks for all help 87 Gl ea82 spfi 5spd dual range with many many miles.

eesh, didn't think it would be that much to rebuild it ourselves, i did know the trans axle stuff. I'm gonna guess Craigslist or eBay for transmissions? but what do i look for when picking one other than low ish miles?

unfortunately not, syncro's are nearly gone and there is quite a lot of play, not to mention the bearing whine.

oops, forgot to mention that bit ^^; 4wd 5 sp manual d/r.

The faithful old family suby is finally getting a bit tired out and its time to get the transmission taken care of now thats its got a fairly fresh 50k mile ea82. Im either looking for a shop in or around Salem OR that could rebuild it for a good price or a guide and parts list on how to do it my self, ive been reading quite a lot the past few hours but havent come up with much usefull info. It's a 4wd 5 sp manual d/r. Thanks for the help

nice mini truck!
