86subaru

is there anything i should look at before handing over the cash, besides axles, oil leaks , coolant leaks, brakes, exhaust , radiator, timing belt, working ac, it's got the 2.2 motor,

i agree way to high, i got mine for 85 bucks , no rust, good interior, but if you must buy it , look at the front axles, rust underneith, radiator, clutch, oil leaks, windshields are 270 bucks,

if you need parts send me a email and i might have extra parts,

new ethanol plant being built in LIMA, OHIO,

did research today at alocal dealer, there should not be any damage done, but run it out as soon as possible ,run it down to 1/2 tank then add 87 octine , your fuel system will be cleaned out

in any case i will not run it again, decided to run it down and add 87 octine at 1/2 tank,+ change filter, i hope no damage

thanks for the help.should i change the filter now or wait, did more research , i have read about bigger injectors etc.. but nothing about eating away the fuel line or plastic parts,

well aleast it will clean out the fuel system,it does seem to take off like a rocket after 40 mph, so may question now is will it hurt it ? and yes after i run it out change the filter, or should i run it down to 1/2 tank and add 87 octine or run it all the way out

well live and learn, well run it down and add 87 octine or wal- mart gas,

ok, so i guess it will not hurt the 02, or injectors ? to late now, full tank ,so it will be aleast a week to run it out , so running it in spfi motor would really screw it up ?

DO NOT RUN IT , it's on a 88 turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon with 125,000mi on it , runs very bady , jerks , pops , no power on lower end, i mixed 10 gal 85% ethanol to 3gal 87 octine , , it was running fine on mid-grade or higher , plugs are gapped, new, cap, rotor, good wires, new fuel filter, no cat,

wal-mart, some times they have tires on sale this time of year, but if your going to off road with them ,they might blow out

mobile 1 ,i got a case off ebay for 2 bucks afilter incl shipping

no subaru dealer around here [ 1 hour away] when i had my 2000 one of the places mixed up the tranny filter and the oil filter , they used a clamp style oil filter wrench and removed the tranny filter ,and then put it back on , it starting leaking tranny fluid , so from then on i did it my self

wait until you go off roading with it , like i did , but make sure you have good tires ,because i had to replace 3 tires after i got back , 1 blew, 2 other i broke the inner belt ,

exhaust 100 bucks, brakes all 4 aleast 100 if not more, front struts 100 + parts, could be higher

thanks

are the fuel regulators the same from spfi to turbo ? just wondering i have both .thanks

car ran great, my question is fpr is it the same from a xt4 turbo to a 88 turbo , i read that there are 2 colors gold or black , is there a difference ?i am thinking it is the black box right ? or any pic would help ,thanks ,

you must remember that around here there is very cheap gas out there , but i do not think it is the gas , john in ky is also suggesting alot of things also , it sure does help when i have a ea82 turbo motor [ blown hg] sitting there with good parts on it ,thanks guys will post today after starting it

well i changed it ,and it seemed to help, + fuel filter ,but it was only 15,000mi old, but the gas station my wife got gas from was 87 octine or less , in the morning i will be able to tell ,thanks

i do have a new 1 that i can put in ? oem in fact ,it only happens on cold start ups, and lasts a few miles, another subaru person said it could be a smog censor behind the glove box ,after the car warms up a few miles it is ok,, like a timer

check cap, wires, plugs, fuel filter changed, timming right on, seems to be a vacuum leak around the passanger side towards the fender , but could not find anything wrong

still having the problem , in fact getting worse, even when it idles :confused:no codes showing up ? i am thinking bad gas ?

my 88 dl wagon, the drivers side only will hit the top and get stuck ,, so while it is rainning i have to push on it to come down , passanger side is ok, + the blades are the correct size
