  1. h6 engine swap in 2001 outback

    desertsubaru replied to hm1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Never did an H6 engine swap but subarus are one of the easiest engines to change. About a six hour swap. As for doing it that all depends on if the body is in good shape. Is it rusty ?

  2. Knock and O2 Sensor: OEM or Aftermarket?

    desertsubaru replied to nithinmike's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    These vehicles like OEM parts.

  3. ej22 oil pressure problem

    desertsubaru replied to hankosolder2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    If the engine was borked, it would be making "Bork! Bork! Bork! (think Swedish Chef) noises. LOL That's my new sig line.

  4. Power

    desertsubaru replied to counselingworld's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Spark Plugs and wires, Fuel filter, air filter. Is the check engine light on? Check belts for ware and proper adjustment.

  5. Help, no timing marks on cam pulleys

    desertsubaru replied to jijimmyjimjim's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    use the indented line. The keyway on the crank should be down near 6 oclock.

  6. Help, no timing marks on cam pulleys

    desertsubaru replied to jijimmyjimjim's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    The marks are there your just missing them. look at this pic to get an Idea on where the marks are and this thread to set the marks. http://lovehorsepower.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48:1995-subaru-legacy-outback-timing-belt-and-water-pump-replacement&catid=10:subaru-legacy&Itemid=64 Look at the cam pulleys on the lip where the belt runs you will see little "hash" marks.

  7. Upstream o2

    desertsubaru posted a topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Is there any way to change the upstream o2 on a 2003 fozi without dropping the exhaust from the engine?

  8. exhaust repairs on the cheap?

    desertsubaru replied to heartless's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    We have a local shop that did from my rear cat back to the bumper with new muffler for $100 bucks.

  9. Fuel mileage

    desertsubaru replied to Wolfman01's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Was that going down hill?. My 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.2 v8 will read in the 60 to mpg range on the display going down hill at 70 mph. LOL

  10. Rod Knock Confirmation

    desertsubaru replied to lstevens76's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    If you get a set that runs from 8mm to 17mm you will be fine. I think the lock down nuts are 12mm.

  12. oxygen sensor 2001 forester question

    desertsubaru replied to subaru forever's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Better off using OE because most others are a waste of money. Rock auto has DENSO Part # 2345003. 95 will not work.

  13. Timing Belt - best buy?

    desertsubaru replied to forester2002s's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    The Gates kit is very good IMO.

  14. WEIRD EJ22 Idle Behavior, Any Thoughts?

    desertsubaru replied to warmblood58's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    I had something like that happen on a carburetor Ea82. It had bad throttle rod bushings, When it would get heated up it would stick. Sounds like your problem though is due to the cable.

  15. 1990 Subaru Legacy Wagon: Heating Problems

    desertsubaru replied to theandrewgarcia's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Wouldn't hurt to have the cooling system flushed out before you change the T stat..

    desertsubaru replied to warmblood58's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    You should also clean the butterfly in the throttle body and lube up all the linkage on the outside of the throttle body..

    desertsubaru replied to warmblood58's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Sounds like a bad cable. It could be frayed in the casing causing it to stick.

  18. Cranks but no start - '00 OBS

    desertsubaru replied to lstevens76's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Maybe because you need four things for a gas engine to work. Fuel, air. spark and compression. that's why I said check it.

  19. Cranks but no start - '00 OBS

    desertsubaru replied to lstevens76's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    That fuel could have just been built up pressure.. Next step after you are sure it is getting fuel do a compression check.

    desertsubaru replied to lstevens76's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Getting spark?

  21. 1997 impreza wagon cranks but won't start.

    desertsubaru replied to bryanfroeh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Check your fuses first.

  22. Changing spark plugs on my 95 Legacy EJ22

    desertsubaru replied to subakev's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Since you just bought new ones just clean them.

  23. Changing spark plugs on my 95 Legacy EJ22

    desertsubaru replied to subakev's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    May be a charging problem. Start the car then test voltage at the battery. Alternator should put out close to 14 volts. Also you can clean the plugs with a wire brush.

  24. 1994 Subaru Legacy LS

    desertsubaru replied to Rainydaywidow's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    Yes run from that shop. Rockauto has Front brakes and rotor kit for as low as $66 bucks plus shipping.

  25. '99 Impreza EJ22 to '99 Outback

    desertsubaru replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
    I didnt know it already had a swap done. AdventureSubaru maybe right then, they may not be compatible if the 2.2 in there now is phase one. look on the 2.2 in the outback and see if the head bolts are outside the valve covers
