I would reccomend changing the O@ sensor if you car is using mor gas than usual and it stinks like petro. I just changes mine on my 90 legacy with 239K miles. I apologize for all the typing errors I made on this and all posts. I just got my new laptop and the keys seem to be closer to eash other and they are still a little stiff.

If you have starter kill you will need to find out what color the wire is under the dash and then trace it back to the rely connections for the alarm. Dicconect it from the relay on both sides and then splice it back togehter with a butt connector and be sure to crimp it well. Electrical tape wouldn't be a bad idea either. I mean both together. Contrary to popular thougth.....electrical tape IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!

I think I might have the best solution for you. Go to www.the12volt.com and register..it's free to join. Once you have go to the alarms section or the forum and ask someone on there how you can go about disarming the alarm for good but keeping the KES active. They will be able to tell you for sure. They might even have the info on your alarms model on file and you could download it. This link has helped many other...it could help you too.

it's as simple as this... Chevys are junk, fords are junk. I drive a Subaru because I can dependonit to get me where I need to go with minimal problems. IF more people think this way, then by chevy sticking thier badge on a perfectly good Subaru...People aren't going to want to buy Subaru's because they are going to be associated with chevrolet. Here is the breakdown for people who do not know: Chevy = geo = hummer = GMC= Pontiac = Some Izusu back in the day = some jeep engines Toyota = Lexus = Scion Nissan = infinity = Datsun (not past 86) Ford = mazda = lincoln = mercury = jaguar = land rover BMW = mini Porsche = Porsche Mercedes = Mercedes Subaru = Subaru Dodge = plymouth = jeep = mopar I'm sure I forgot some..

If it is part of the block then I am inclined to say go ahead, pull the engine and replace it. You could scout out a short block and stick your heads....etc on it or you could buy a complete engine and sell your old engine parts to offset the cost, ...or keep them for future repairs. I have seen some engine carnage in my day but that is bad. If I had some cash and you lived near me I would buy it off you.

That clicking sound you hear is a relay. When the system is going haywire you should take your fingers and stick them in the area of the clicking. Once you have found the source stick your finger on it and you should feel it clicking. Replace that relay with one just like it from the parts store. If this does not work then you will need to replace your KES brain. Before you go about replacing the brain check all of it's grounds. A bad ground will make it go nuts too. Chances are that relay is grounded somewhere as well. If you can trace that ground down and check it. I am under the impression that the KES has a starter kill function. This would explain the vehicle not starting.

A T-belt on a 2.2 is sooo easy. I do believe Josh (legacy777) has the write up on it. He helped me with mine and I am having no problem with it. If you do the coolant flush yourself be sure to "burp" the system very well or it could be the demise of your engine. Heat and air pockets are your engines enemy.
