I meant an OE kit for $60-$70. All parts you mention are available from Subaru in a box with instructions. Can find you a part number although now it probably doesn't matter.

The programming DIP switches are in the alarm module which has removable cover. You want to switch to "manual arm" mode. If you don't have a manual, look up one of the recent threads about alarm problems, it has a link to technical info.

Buy OE, they're stainless and with teeth.

That's right, the failure mode of those sensors can be intermittent. If there's a trouble code, replace. Cam, temp. and knock sensors that I replaced all showed a correct resistance reading.

I am sure the dealers were given documentation on how to activate OnStar, but many would be too lazy to look it up. A GM dealer may not be able to help if activation requires VIN.

EJ22E must be a 1995-96 version of the engine.

If you have an add-on alarm that was sold at dealers at the time, you'll find everything about it at this page by Russ a.k.a. SmashPDX:http://www.randomsoup.com/subie/huggyalarm.html

It probably has to do with balancing.

The pipe and hose connections on throttle body, AC compressor, and steering pump all have factory plugs. Was the whole assembly supplied like this by Subaru? It comes with clutch, too.

I guess the trick, if there is one, would be to access those bolts from the bottom, but I didn't have to do it myself.

The reason the nuts are turning with the bolts might be that they are rusted to them, just something to be prepared for.

Do the screws go into a blind space inside the door panel? You probably need to drill holes. Maybe you can use longer, and stainless bolts and put additional nuts on top of the rivnuts. If the rivnuts are rubber (wellnuts), just discard them.

Register with my.subaru.com. If they have anything, you will see it.

It might be just a bad connection, although less likely for a factory alarm that a GT might have. If it's a CodeAlarm system like the ones they sold as an accessory, it should have a fuse in the harness. Pulling the fuse will disable the alarm, but you will also need to bypass the starter cutoff by connecting two wires that run to a separate plug on the box.

Just buy a kit from Subaru if they still have it. It's around $60.

This looks like one of those rare cases when the pulley splits when the factory procedure isn't followed. The rubber should be bonded to the metal on both sides. But you probably needed a new one anyway. Use something to jam the flywheel or flexplate, whichever you have.

The plug must be in the footwell area, taped to one of the harnesses. What makes it hard to find is that it's covered with tape. Remove the cover below the steering wheel if you haven't done so, and use a good light.

Sounds like the torque converter wasn't locking up for some time until the engine was replaced, due to some sort of electrical glitch which became cured after the connections were taken apart and put back together.

To have an EGR valve, the 2.2l needs to be from 1995 or later (but still phase I) car with auto transmission .

Don't take it like I know what I am talking about, but from the factory manual, it appears that replacing either transfer clutch plates or solenoid C requires some careful measurements and ordering certain parts based on them. In my impression, it's kind of like replacing engine bearings or piston rings. Probably not an issue if the extension a.k.a. tailshaft housing (that's the name) is replaced as a complete unit but in any case, anyone working on it really has to know what they are doing.

Apparently, for 1st gen. Justy engine, the only common thing with Suzuki is the number of cylinders, and that might be just because 3 cyl. is not unusual for Japanese domestic minicars. And I thought they were the same. Since 1995, Justy is manufactured by Suzuki at the plant in Hungary.

FWIW, that shop is listed in CarTalk's MechaniXfiles with positive comments.

The 3-cyl engine is Suzuki, and of course it was aslo found in Geo Metro. There was an optional 4-cyl engine on Swift and Metro. On Swift it could also be had with turbo for one or maybe two model years. But in US, only Justy had AWD. I believe Suzuki had AWD available overseas, whether its own or from Subaru. I know the departed Baleno, known here under the bad name Esteem and much underrated, had an AWD version in other markets.

It's a good transmission, jointly developed in 1980s by Fuji, Nissan and Mazda through a joint venture called JATCO and used by all three in various models.

FWIW, I looked up the part number for the black piece surrounding the control box and the catalog says it applies to 1993-97. That number is 66430FA020ML.
