we'll get some pics up soon if possible:D

So our rust free Cali Rx is feeling much better. So far ... we have installed a gl grill, GL10 seats, a biamplified stereo system with 12s , black honeycomb wheels, and fixed a number of minor issues. We painted it 69 cobra blue metallic ( paint kit off ebay ). I just got the motor back in yesterday and today we fired her up. ( new head gaskets, hoses, and some other leaks fixed ). It didn't want to stay running at first - turns out the bottom of the intake tube is dried and broken - it would not seal so no air was going through the maf. I have it stuck on there as best I could but if anyone has one in decent shape I would gladly buy it off you ! I'm afraid it will pull off while I'm flying down a wash in the desert. Please pm meif you can help:drunk:

nobody.....

I got the trunk and fuel door cables working reasonably well but the door was not popping open. I found the little spring was missing that clips on the back. I called the dealer Friday but have not heard back from SA back east. Anyone had success with adapting another spring? or maybe even got a spring and/or whole fuel door assy. I could buy/ trade for???

Mine did the exact same thing. Spark looked good but only the short wire truly had good spark. Was a fairly new disty cap. Button was not realy connected in center.

It drives better than ever now - had to replace an o ring in the iac to get the idle down too. It is currently fs here in Page Az. I will do more serious work on the other car (RX) after we buy our house with the oversized garage ( closing Jan 31st ).

I swapped wheels between the RX and the GL10 - also the seats. I put new seat covers on the roached seats , bled the brakes, gave it a wash and vacc. Stuck the 88 GL10 up fs on the city car lot. The RX....:headbang:Now has a clean interior, rebuilt oil pump, black snowflake wheels, and a shiny new paint job - shelby cobra blue. I mounted a gl grill and loyale turn signals. Also - put in a pioneer head unit , 5 band eq, alpines in the doors, bostons in the rear deck, pioneer 12s behind rear seat, cheap lightning audio amp with fosgate cables, and an xtant monoblock running the subs. You would think my kid would be in a hurry to get his license! Still needs head gaskets and new rad. I'll try to get some pics up.

Turned out to be a bad disty cap. Was recently purchased but went bad within 6 months!

good to know - will the ea82 disty be used in the ea81 if i could find a good one in the 4 corners area i would convert both our cars!

I'm in Page - only 7 hours away! A guy just called me from down your way who owns about 6 or 7 soobs- keep posting,

i do have a non turbo spfi disty laying around here. A friend said that the bad gas here may have ruined the injectors allowing gas to dump in cylinders - how likely is that - the hoses amd belts were pretty dried out. Meantime - I am taking offers on the car - would make a great ej22 candidate.

I have absolutly had it with this car, It is a rust free California 1988 Gl10. Turbo AWD automatic. All filters and fluids reg. changed Royal Purple oil, genuine subaru filters, clean trans fluid, air ride deleted for struts off a wagon, 2 month old hankook tires on aluminum h wheels, functional hood scoop, factory spoiler, new belts, battery, alt , ice cold air, aftermarket boost gauge. aftermarket fuel gauge and sender. NEW PAINT factory color with extra metalflake - windows tinted, rear deck modified for 10" subs, super clean car, Everything worked including sunroof and cruise control. One day on lunch it just stopped running! I am about ready to just pull some parts and the seats out of it to get my son's rx going and throw this thing away. It also has new brakes and cv shafts. Make me an offer for the chasis - open to trades. This is a beautiful car to look at and it drove like a dream but I either have bad spark , too much fuel , or iffy compression. Would be an awesome candidate for an ej22 swap. I can't get it to run , maybe u can. I am located in northern Arizona at Lake Powell. I will post this on the fs board too but 2 b honest it does not get that much visitation. U can call me at 928-660-1240 with questions.

supposing my repositioning of the cam sets my compression #s right and it is ignition , would I be able to take the disty and coil off my 1985 EA82T and put it on the 88 or are they non interchangeable - the 85 does not have the same transistor setup.

I am pretty sure the ds side cam is a tooth off , the cover is broken so the notch is hard to judge - still - this problem started before the belts were changed. I'll try the wet comp tests this weekend.

maybe you have a point... the fuel does not hold pressure. I unhook the hose from the fuel filter and there is nothing there until I turn the pump back on. A pressure reg. comes after the injectors - right? It has to be a single point failure that ties to all 4 injectors given the suddeness of it quitting. I will try to find some time to work on it tomorrow. Thanks!
