What is it? I mean, what's it do? [HTi]JOhnson P.S. I'm throwing Code 23 (Air Flow Meter)...but the car runs..a little rough, at times... could it be the bad Purge Control?

YAY:banana:. I got the GL-10 running and it's a little rough when it first starts. But it works for my way to work. [HTi]Johnson

It was a slow motion roll over...like the car almost didn't roll over. Yeah I was lucky I had no passengers. Oh yeah...the first thing out of my mouth when I was in the car was "Take a picture". THen I couldn't get the belt undone and I asked for a knife...but after a little playing with the buckle it opened and I fell to the roof and crawled out. [HTi]Johnson

Hello! You might already know, I rolled my GL Wagon . I'll put the pics here. I have some good news...pressed for a daily driver I fixed my Turbo GL-10. It runs pretty smoothly...i have it at 20' BTDC but when I cruise around 4grand....it surges...any suggestions on what that might be? I'm sure the gas in it is ancient could that be a problem. Thanks. [HTi]Johnson EDIT::: PICS ADDED

Yeah, the manifold, I believe, has coolant running through it...from one head to the other and witha couple hoses running off. [HTi]Johnson

You can just ask...we'll guide ya through it. What are you wanting to do with the tranny? Remove it why? [HTi]Johnson

DId you time it?

I know that some Subarus have/had air controlled shocks. SO what goes bad with them? Do the shocks themselves go out or is it the air system (Compressor, sylenoid, heighcontrol system, etc)? I was just thinking about the ones on my GL-10...well, the set in the front...the rear have been removed. Thanks. [HTi]Johnson

LOL, yeah. At least the gauge says it's 1/2 full

And if there is ATF, what color does it look like? Maybe the governor is in need of a cleaning? It's in the repair section of USMB (http://www.usmb.net/repair/?CurrentDirectory=FOLDER_3f29b58f50d9b8.15492800/&FileType=Article&File=ARTICLE_3f57fdb83de231.34713659.art) Good luck, keep us posted. Oh yeah welcome to the board... [HTi]Johnson

As I read on another post about the diffrences between Loyale and GL, it said something about the loyale not having the accessories of a GL, but it has all the wiring for it. So, by what I read, I'd say those are rear speaker harnesses. You could always use a multimeter to find continuity between the dash harness and the rear speaker harness. But my money is on it being a speaker harness. Am I right? CLose to right? OR far off? [HTi]Johnson

It does run...for a while...until i try to give it gas. I actually think it's the ignition timing...I just learned about the test mode connectors. I'll keep ya'll posted on my idiotness. [HTi]Johnson

The maf unplugged causes it to change. ABout that switch...where is it?

I lied, I'm posting again. The timing is %100 on...I quadruple checked it today. I am starting to lean towards fuel cut issues. When I first start it, it idles at 1500rpm then suddenly decreases to a seizure....and then dies. THen i try to start it again... and it idles really low then dies...then i turn the key on off on off on off then start it and it idles at 1500 then dies, the same. When it is idling at 1500RPM and i give it gas...it bogs down, then when i release the throttle, it reuturns to 1500rpm then dies. [HTi]JOhnson

I hope you are right. Because I am going to check it tomorrow. As for plug wires, I have an inline plug tester....i tested all the plugs...i got spark through the wires. But I'm going to change them anyways...once i get it running right. I'm going to try to stop posting about this damn car...sorry for the troubles. [HTi]Johnson

I'll check the timing, again.:-\ Today I decided to look at the little LED in the MPFI box, it blinks 1 1 1 1 ::pause::: 1 1 1 1 . When the car isn't running. Then I turn it on and it pauses for a while...then starts blinking again same code. I fiugred that 1 1 1 1 means 4 so I checked the FSM and it said it specifies that it's a California AT car...or am I wrong? THanks, [HTi]Johnson

I'll post this, then I'll try to find the answer Here's a FSM for a 1988 Subaru Turbo (very helpful) http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142 [HTi]Johnson

So it'll give codes when the check engine light isn't on?

I'm sorry for not stopping, but this car is giving me hell. I have it timed at 20'BTDC. The problem: Bad hesistation. When I first start it (Cold) it revs fine. Then it gets worse. I tried to move when it was cold. It started to move then it would lug and bounce and then once the turbo started to spool it would go to 4 grand and then cut and lug and bounce. I thought it might be to much back pressure so I removed the exhaust from the turbo and tried.(I know the O2 sensor isn't there). It would do the same thing. Could it be a bad o2 sensor? I kinda thought it could be the fuel pump, I haven't check into it yet. Could it be the fact I don't have any type of air filter on the intake, it's just the MAF setup? When it is up around 4 grand and I am trying to move, it backfires out the intake, not a lot, just every now and then...but I am pretty sure all the valve timing is on...Valve mark centered, Disty Side Cam gear mark up and passenger side down. Thanks for your time and help. [HTi]Johnson

My friend and I found a white brat in the wrecking yard, it was side swiped on the passenger side. It's tailgate is pristine, it has everything. It has the glass tops, 4spd Dual Range tranny, everything on the engine, inside is perfect...it's passenger window is shaddered. It had jumpseats....but my friend and I took em . Anyone want anything? PM me. Regards, [HTi]Johnson

1984 GL-10 Turbo OK i fixed it. But now, it lugs around 4kRPM like power cut out. Could it be a clogged cat(s)? It back fires. I'm sorry for lack of information and details...I'm tired. I don't have an air filter on and it's timed at 8'BTDC. I can't go faster than 50mph in third. When it is nuetral I can rev it out with no probs. Is there any common probs with these turbos? THanks [HTi]Johnson

Oh yeah...about the timing...there isn't a vacuum line coming off the disty...is that normal? And I have a place where a vaccuum line goes...in the back of the manifold...what's that? EDIT:: DANG I just read on the USMB Repair Section...Timing Belt Check and Adjustment. I installed the belts wrong.. I put both dots up at the same time...on the cam sprockets!! NO!! Damn Haynes manual...is probably says something about that...but I just looked at the pictures! AH MAN!

Did you check the timing? and how bad is the hesitation? And what kinda car? [HTi]JOhnson

Hey all. I have a 1987 Subaru GL-10 Turbo. I have a few questions. What makes the injectors fire? Is it the posistion sensor? And I believe my #3 cylinder is dead. IT wasn't before I resealed it. It has spark...so my guess is it's the injector. And how can I check to see if the injector is actually squirting? THanks all, it's been a long day. [HTi]Johnson

I've done a tranny swap on an 83 wagon and just finished an engine and tranny install in a Subaru Gl-10. What I would do about the engine swap I'd try to remove the engines and trannies as one. I would try to do it in one day so I don't forget anything. The lift... I believe you have to lower the engine crossmember and tranny crossmember. Therefore I'd pull the engine and tranny...set them aside and commence on the lift. SOrry if I don't make any sense. I just had 12hours of work on my Subaru GL-10. (I did an engine reseal and tranny swap.) I'm sure there's people with more/better advice. Good Luck and keep us posted. [HTi]Johnson
