bad fuel pump
avk replied to SoobGoob's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
At worst, you need a sending unit and the pump/strainer kit, but not the whole assembly. The sender is something like $60 from discount dealers, and you can get a Walbro pump from a number sources, such as http://www.fuelpumps.com/19911994-subaru-legacy-fuel-pump-4-cyl-22l-turbo-p-3266.html Don't forget the gasket. -
There are two solenoids, to be exact. The other one is the switching solenoid next to the sensor. Like the sensor itself, it may only affect the feedback portion of the system. Then there's this little filter spliced into the hose between the intake and the switching solenoid. I believe someone mentioned it a long time ago. Then there can be clogged EGR passages.

AC problems

There may be enough pressure not to trip the cut-out switch, but the charge can be still low. Low charge is the simplest thing to assume, esp. if the liquid line is not getting hot to the touch. -
There is some sort of cap at the rear on the left cylinder head but it only plugs a hole that was used for machining the cam bore at the factory. I believe it's threaded in, with some sealant, and not a maintenance item. The cam support on the right-side head should be there on any pre-1997 (cam in head) 2.2 engine, it's just may be hard to see. It uses the same O-ring as the left side at the front and is easy to access.

Perhaps one day, the previous owner decided to top off the refrigerant and, since only R134A is available for doing it yourself, just screwed on a low-side fitting and proceeded happily to fill it up from a can. If there's no known repair history and you want a working AC, the system should be evacuated, flushed, and charged (after fixing the leaks) with refrigerant and oil. The receiver-drier will have to be replaced. OTOH, just filling it up with R134A might not make it any worse right now, so you could try that. In that case, use one can that has added dye, and also add some ester oil to keep the compressor from seizing.

I bought the same set of wires, for a 1995 2.2l, a year ago, for about the same price as mentioned above, from subarugenuineparts. These are exact same wires as were on the car, marked "Packard Electric", with stainless connectors and boots on the coil side sealed with silicone. These wires are sold individually, although in this case all four are the same. They also have boxed wire sets with part numbers starting with "SOA" (the set in question would be SOA430Q115 if memory serves). Those are not at all identical to the wires installed at the factory, although I'm sure they would work.
