    I think there is a difference between carbed and SPFI fuel pumps. I could be wrong, but I think the carbed runs at a lower psi and if you have a 93 Loyale, you would have SPFI

    I hear that from my wife every day... and twice on days that I work on it.

    http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125107 Check out this thread. Hope it helps. Also, here is the code list thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49918 Post back to let us know what you found!

    Use a Subaru OEM thermostat (if you are not already). They are like $15 and there is a big difference. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=126278

    Man, that is a bad rump roast van! I don't think any of those made it to the states, but I would rock one:headbang: Good luck and I hope someone can help you on here.

    I am very envious of your BRAT purchase, however, I am not sure why you posted this in the "parts for sale" section. I think this needs to be moved to the older gen forum.

    I think I'll leave this one to someone else. I really don't have time to mess with it. Here is the link: http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/pts/2902723089.html

    I kinda thought the same thing :rolleyes:But the issue is not the threads either, they are tight as can be. The air is escaping from between the pipe and the threaded nut. I never really thought much about it when I did my head gaskets, but I noticed the pipe looked like someone had ground it down in the past since there was hardly enough of a flange to keep the nut on. I am going to replace it anyway and I should have one by tomorrow.

    I suppose I need more info on it then. I was super stoked on the price. If I am correct, there should be a nameplate on the back of it that would specify more info (just like on my Loyale). If there is no nameplate, then how would I be sure exactly what the ratio is, if it is really an LSD (it doesn't have stubs to rotate, just female holes), and what type of LSD it is? Thanks again.
  10. The FNG
    Ok, I've got this info for an LSD. Is it right and will it fit my Loyale with a 5spd manual 3.90 gears? rear diff from a 04 wrx. 85k miles, pulled from a salvaged running driving car. will fit all 2002-2005 3.90 5 speed wrx's. will not fit the 4.11 automatics. $100

    I have read a few threads that have said the EGR is good and that the EGR is bad. If I could block it off and trick the computer into thinking all was ok without any negative performance, than I would consider that, but at this point, I am still skeptical. Bumblebeast, I have a TBI or fuel injected engine and I don't think I will be going to do the weber swap, but I will have a look at how you bypassed the EGR in that thread.

    The end of the pipe got kinda screwed up and it won't seal I guess. It won't tighten any farther and I don't want to strip the threads. I guess I will try to locate a new one. I need to redo my intake manifold gaskets anyway. Thanks for the help!
  13. The FNG
    Can someone please explain this part--I am losing air out of it and it is making my engine stall out. It is located on the passenger side head and goes from the head to the intake.

    Good call on the fusable links. I will look at those tonight. This car was in a shop for over a year because they couldn't get it timed right (shout out to Miles Fox for his videos) and I got it done in 5 minutes. I guess they hot wired the fuel pump and burned it out??? That is what I was told. Like I said I will check the fuses and fuseable links.
  15. The FNG
    Hey, So I've got mine running and the neighbor thought mine was cool, so he went out and procured himself a Loyale (90 ish wagon with manual 5spd pb 4x4) We got the timing belts on last night and we went to start it and BAM...nothing. I noticed that the fuel pump relay does not click when the key turns to on and obviously, the pump does not kick on either. I am assuming I would start at the relay and work my way back to the pump, correct? Where do I find this relay though? By the way, the car started right up when we poured gas down the intake.
  16. The FNG
    It was just a suggestion. If it works that way, then all the better. I was just stating that it may not work for mine. I also did not red the original post correctly. If it blew a fuse when turned on, then I would be looking for a short. Look for wear points where the wires are in the engine bay. If you have one to use, you can always megger the wires too. That would tell you right away if you had a short.
  17. The FNG
    I would second that. They seem easy enough to get a hold of though. However, I would not recommend adding brake fluid to the oil. I know it can work as leak preventive, but it can also ruin things. There is a reason you do not want to spill it on your paint!
  18. The FNG
    The only issue I see with that is that if the lights are on while trying to start the car, it may not provide enough amperage to start the car. It seems like these cars have pretty weak starting systems (at least mine does). If you want, pm me I may have a lead on a new switch for you. It is actually really easy to replace.

    Well, the car is till running about 150 miles later, but at one point, the CEL came on. a little while down the road, it went off at some higher RPMs and then would return at some lower speeds and RPMs. I went to go check the codes (assuming it would be 34--I've had issues with the EGR code in the past and ignored it) and when I watched the light it was solid with sporadic flashes at random times and then it will completely go out. Any ideas? Seems weird since it was working not too long ago.

    I finally got a new coil in it yesterday and I think the damn car fired up before I could even get the key turned all the way over. Gonna cross my fingers that this is the end of it for a while. Thanks for the help guys.
  22. The FNG
    Ok, so I pulled a boneheaded move when installing my new ignition coil and didn't mark which wire went to which post:banghead:. So now I have no idea how to install the coil. I have a blue and yellow group (2 wires) and 2 identical black/white wires grouped. Logic tells me the black group goes on the negative side of the coil, but The way I remember the coil sitting, it would be the opposite. Any suggestions? 91 Loyale 4wd man 5 spd.

    Hey, I've been thinking this wont work with my setup, my tires are big. Sorry. Good luck

  24. The FNG

    well, ************. I've been thinking of things to trade and all I can come up with is an old rump roast Xbox 360 and a Super Nintendo. I also have a hearth pad and a chimney topper for a wood stove. Other than that I'm out of ideas.

  25. The FNG

    Dude, I would love to have these cams, but I don't have the cash right now. Just bad timing for me, really. Plus I just got done doing the head gaskets and what not, so I really don't feel like tearing back into my engine. I also have a running issue I need to get figured out. I'll keep you in mind if I come across some dinero though.
