  1. I just picked up an 85 GL wagon last week. Body is in great shape, except for some minor rust in the rear wheel well.

     

    Anyways, the car starts up fine, runs well, but once it starts engine starts warming up the car dies. It won't idle at all. I've checked for vac leaks, sprayed down everything with some carb cleaner, still nothing.

     

    What else should I start looking into?? Replace the carb?? That's what I'm thinking of doing....

     

    Help please!! Wanna get this thing out on the trail this weekend!! :grin:

  2. For the most part , they are simple to work on and fairly interchangable. For the tough questions you have this board.:)

     

    Yeah, there's just soo much info in here!! I'm going through everything to try and learn everything there is to this car. So far a lot of the things pretty easily interchangeable. I'm looking around for a lift kit right now, and also an engine swap to be able to actually move the thing around lol

  3. What's up USMB!!! Just picked up an 85 GL Wagon last night. Needs a lot of work, but can't complain for $200!!! :banana:

     

    I'll get some pics up later on tonight when I get home. I'm very new to subarus (first soobie) but definately not new to cars at all!! I have an Acura TL that I am currently gonna park in the garage while I stroke the engine to a 3.7 :woot:

     

    Anyways, I got this just to drive it to and from work, and for the snow. BUT after lurking around here a bit, I wanna just drive the TL and build the wagon!!! Hopefully I'll get some nice goodies for it here soon :grin:
