[420 420 420]

In our area (Orgone) there running 10% Ethanol in all our gas.

Ethanol, dosen't have the same BTUs at real gas, so would that make the cat

run cooler.

Just an idea.

[EA82 running hot]

I'm new to the USMB, like it.

I had 1986 GL and have 92 Loyale and both at one point started over heating very slowly when the weather would harm up.

I ended up replacing the radaitor in both cars, the flow with a hose in the top and bottom hose off, was poor at best, but would flow.

So I pulled the cap off the radator after they were replace and found that there was about 3 cores that was open the rest were plug tight.

I did try to rod them a little, and ended up breaking the core out.

Hope this helps.

[Well ... I may have finally done it ...]

Sound like an over charging alt. could be causing the problem.

Dash meter, in my 92 loyal run about 13 volts, and with meter at the battery about 14 volts, if its pushing 16 volts that is a problem.

Not sure about subaru reg. but most dump to ground, so a by ground o reg. can cause problem.

The other choice would be a place in the wire that is worn and when going down the road, short out, I do a shake test, shake the hell out it.

 

And as for fuseable link, just use a wire 2 gauges smaller then the factory wire, and will blow first.:banana:

Will I didn't have the 33 Ohm, 5 watt resistors.

I used a 194 bulb socket with some pig tail and cut the wire from the purge valve, and butt connected it up.

The CEL turn off, in less than 2 minutes.

So that was causing the CEL.

I will clear the codes and re check it again in a coup of days.

Thanks again great help.

I look around at the junk yards for another valve.

The after market is $100 bucks.

[old subaru market has collapsed]

Here in this part of Oregon, you see tons of 1985 to 1993 on the road.

Just driving to old I'll 4 or 5 of those years, most of them are wagons.

I see a few for sale, going for $1200 to $1500.

The P&P yard has 3 of these, but there pretty pick over.

Thanks for the reply.

Was thinking that could work.

Till i locate and used one or fix the wiring on the old one.

Could the air control valve be cleaned ?

Thanks again.

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

Thanks for your input.

 

Today at lunch time, found the air control valve and what believe is the purge control.

Pulled connector apart and check for voltage with key on, not running.

I have 11 to 12 volts.

Did OHM reading and both and found that I have open on the purge control solenoid and some restestes on the air control.

Would the purge cause a CEL?

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

When got home, it was still light out.

Pull the white and green connector apart and turn key on.

got for codes

11 crank angle sensor.

12 crank angle sensor.

24 air control valve.

35 purge control solenoid.

 

I'm pretty sure I don't have crank angle sensor??

I have not seen anything like that on the engine.

 

The car runs good, but this check engine light been on for the past year, like clear this up.

Any ideals out there

 

Are the white or green connectors, stay connected?

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

Back to the drawing board.

I'll check the code page again to see what I maybe doing wrong.

Thanks for pointing out flashing light info

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

Yes its a SPFI, EA82 (1.8)

And yes there is a EGR valve that was installed new about 3 or 4 years ago, by the first owner.

So

Do only CA have EGR?

I can buy that it could be carbon up.

I'll look this week for the sensor, maybe I can pull the EGR off and clean it up.

Still not sure I did the code thing right??

The timing just dosen't match the code info from here.

Thanks for the input.

Anything is help full.

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

I look at the motor for the sensor.

I did not see it.

I was looking at the EGR vacuum line and followed them though a swich.

Would this EGR Temperature Senso be in the water jack or exhaust system?

[55 EGR Temperature Sensor or Circuit]

I'm new here and like your site.

I have a 92 loyal with 1.8 and 5 speed.

I have engine warn light on the dash.

So I looked around till I found how to active the flashing light.

I connected the 2 white wires and pull the panel under the wheel.

The light flashes pretty fast 5 times repeatedly.

Is this the 55 code or am I miss reading this?

Where is the the temp senors?

What would be causing this problem?

The car seem to run to pretty good, with maybe a small drop in fuel mileage.

 

:eek::eek:

Thanks
