I have a bad control module or pick-up coil in the distributor(Nippondenso) on my '85 MPFI GL-10 auto wagon. At least Haynes has lead me to believe this is the cause of the car running for only a couple minutes at a time.
I have tried visiting and calling around the various "used parts shops" but they keep telling me that I can only use the part from another '85 and they don't have one.
I also have an '87 GL 4WD auto wagon. The distributor looks exactly the same except for the leads. For the '85 the leads are ring type and on the '87 the leads are packaged in to a plastic plug.
I did some work on my previous Acura but I'm pretty foreign to Subarus and the sheer number of possibilities is killing me. I'm not afraid to modify a little bit but I do want it to work.
Or should I just replace the whole distributor and know it will be fixed for a while?
