Also because I am in the Military I dont get much time to work on it, so if anyone in the Ft. Lewis area would like to make some extra cash by fixing my car let me know lol.

Ok , I am now getting spark but the engine is still only cranking. So what should I check now? Thanks for the help guys.

OK, update. I replaced the coil last night still just cranking. I pulled a spark plug and I did not see any spark when cranking the engine.

Belts are good. Per your advice Miles, when I replaced my water pump I took the dust covers off.

Fuel pump is working fine, I even disconnected the fuel line from the filter and fuel came out when I cranked it over.

The other night I was driving home and went to speed up and I did not have any power then my engine just cut off. After I was stopped I tryed starting the car a few times then it started. The next morning my car would only crank after trying for awhile it started. I let it run for awhile then turned it off and on a few times and it started each time. But today it would only crank. Any Idea's where I should start looking? My car is a 1986 xt ea82t. Thanks guys.

Cool thanks for the info

Anyone ever done a FWD to 4WD conversion on a 1986 XT?

Talk to Steve or Dave at PIA in spanaway(however it's spelled).

Pull the rad air vents are bent to hell. I want to put a 2 row rad in..any suggestions.

There is coolant going to the overflow but it's not boiling but, the radiator pulls it back. When the gauge goes red it's not there for long and the car has not shutdown. I have not seen any coolant in the oil and the engine has not lost power.

Sorry I should have said that I did a coolant flush too

Hey guys here is the issue. Driving around town car runs hot but not overheating but when I get on the highway I will go into the red then goes right between the red and white line. 1986 xt Ea82t. Yes I have replaced the t stat with one from subaru and bleed the air from the coolant system.

Anyone know if a ea82t has any oil galley plugs on it so I can install a aftermarket oil gauge?

Nice

Lets show off our engines.

K thanks man.

Question guys, do any other subies from the 80's use the same size windshield as a 86 xt? the reason I ask is because all the auto glass shops around said it would take a few weeks to get a new one. I need a new windshield asap so I was going to check the parts yard tomorrow for a good one.

Can a spider intake be installed on a 1986 ea82t and and what year and model of subie can I get it from.

Now that I am done with all the work its time to clean up the mess. What do you guys like to use for cleaning the engine and engine well. Also can any one tell me the vac hose sizes for a ea82t. Thanks

Yeah sorry I missed type it. Also they have a loyale there.

I went to the pick in pull out side JBLM yesterday and scored 15 fuseible links for 2 bucks. FYI they have 4 gl wagons there, most with the ej22 and a na ea82

yeah i had to special order the black link for my xt awhile back. I think I will just order a bench stock of all the links.

Has anyone ever converted the fuseible link box to a standard fuse box or is it even possible?

If you do a dash change you will need to get a new fuel level sender. Also you will need to change the oil pressure sender. And since you will have it torn apart it cant hurt to replace the bulbs in the new dash. I did my dash swap a month ago.
