  1. Did they make you sing a tribute to the greatest song in the world? Not the actual greatest song in the world....just the tribute. LMMFAO!!! If you want to know the real deal about the three, let me tell you bout tripple trouble and I will bring you up to speed.
  2. BUY IT!!! I bought a 94 Legacy wagon Rocky mountain edition at a police auction with high miles for $1,200 but it was worth sooooo much more. Leather, CD player...all the toys. It was SWEET!! I don't think the engine is broken in yet at 72K.
  3. After you stick the new injector in, pull the #14 fuse in the fusebox (under dash) and leave it out for 30+ minutes. Re-install it and let the vehicle sit for a good 6 hours. Then take it out for a drive, make sure you drive the vehicle over 40 miles an hours for at least a minute. This will have cleared all trouble codes in the TCU-ECU and re-tought both units. Glad I could help
  4. When you get the new injector you will notice that it looks different than the one you pulled out. This is because it is an aftermarket injector but it fits and works just as good as OEM. I put over 3K on mine and it purrrrrs. (grease the O-ring with something that will not eat the rubber) when installing. Two screws and one wire harness hold it in. If the old one resists be carefull! Use a pair of pliars to gently twist the unit untill it is free.
  5. I sent you the link. Check your e-mail. the lord has blessed me...I have children.
  6. All I ask for is a thank you and that you do them same for someone else if the time should ever come.
  7. First thing I would do is put your old harness back together and take a trip to your local Car audio shop and get the Scoshe harness for your car and do it the easy, right way. But thats just me. I did it that way and have no problems.
  8. Hey Sasquatch... Thanks for letting the beastie boys go. I was starting to wonder what happened to them. (if you have no clue what I am talking about, please ignore me)
  9. under your dash (between you ECU and TCU there are 2 black conectors. With the vehicle off, conect them and then turn your vehicle to the "on" position but do not start the vehicle. The check engine will blink in sequence. Somewhere on this website are the 2nd gen trouble codes. There will be your answer.
  10. Tell you what...I have 161 positive feedbacks and I will put the auction up tonight, send you a link, use the buy-it-now, and I will ship the item to you. When you can afford to pay me....do so. I know what it's like to be broke as F##K. I have 2 kids but the lord blessed me with ,my dream job as an IT consultant so my broke days are behind me. Your best days are ahead of you. Shoot me an e-mail so I can send you the auction link coloradosubarules@yahoo.com
  11. Check the fluid level in the T-case. It shares duty with the trany on those models. (they both use gear lube and share the same case)Hope this helps
  12. Think it over if you want trhen shoot me an e-mail if you want it and I will put the auction on and then send you a link to the auction. I will priority ship the item to you and then wait for payment. I like to think I am a trusting person. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Hope this helps Yes you can drive the vehicle with the bad injector but I wouldn't reccomend it.
  13. Sounds like it isn't engaging or disengaging properly. Have the cable adjustment checked and also check the throw-out bearing. If you didn't do the clutch yourself, the person who did it might have tried to save a few bucks and left your old bearing in place. Hope this helps
  14. When I reset the ECU-TCU in my 90 leggy it did some strange things. These websites will tell you how to reset it but they don't tell you that you have to let your car sit for a day without driving it so that the ECU will re-learn how to function properly. I started the car after resetting it and it wouldn't go faster than 5 miles an hour and just ran BAD. I let it sit because I was going to have it towed to the dealer but when I went out later that day to move it out of the driveway it was like a whole new car. I still has a small idle dance when I first crank it in the morning (second or 2) but besids that it runs great.
  15. I am an ebayer so I could set it up on an auction with a buy-it-now and we could do it thru there if that will work for you. It is pretty secure that way. I will take a money order, cash or Personal check if want and then I will send you out the item. If you do not ebay then we will work something out. E-mail me if you wish to talk on a more personal level and swap contact info. Thanks, Greg I have a 90 non-turbo leggy. Works great. it is midnight at my house in FL but I am up late usually so I can set that auction up tonight if that will work for you.
  16. Thanks, but what about the timing cover? The bolts do not want to come out. Should I drill them out? Use force? I am not worried about getting the cover back on because I am like McGyver when it comes to installing stuff.
  17. As far as turning the 4WD system off goes. I installed a switch inline with the blade fuse under the hood, wich gives me the option to turn it on and off as I see fit from the cabin. I live in FL and really only need it on when I am making jacked up trucks look stupid and when it rains cats and dogs like it does on a daily basis here. You'll get my Subaru when you pry it from my cold dead hands..or have to use the jaws of life to get me out of it after I have been T-boned by a senior citizen in a Lincoln towncar.
  18. My 2 Cents..... Trade my Subaru for a VW? Not highly likely! I had a VW once and man was that a bottomless money pit. I replaced every part but the block. That POS spent more time in the shop than in my driveway. I bought my 90 Legacy Wagon AWD from the salvation army for $700.00 cash about a year ago. I had never even heard of these cars untill I bought it. I LOVE MY SUBARU! I would rather have 2 foresters than one H2 Hummer. Granted my Roo needed CV's and a Fuel injector and now a seal or 2.....BIG F'ing deal!! I would love to see a 232K Domestic vehicle (besides my 88 Cherokee 248K) Good luck with your farfignugin. You willl be back!! Mark my words! Mark them well! (Take with a grain of salt) Please note: I would saw off my left nut for the new 05 turbo Legacy. Now thats devotion.
  19. I have a couple spare with low milage from a rebuilt engine (car totaled). I bought them all when my #4 took a S**T on me. They work great. $25.00 a piece shipped. Greg Coloradosubarules@yahoo.com
  20. Nah..it's some kind of seal. The faster I go and the more I use my A/C, the more it leaks. It's in front of the engine and I can see it leaking out of that black plastic shroud. It's kinda embarassing, when I pull up to a light after getting off the highway, it looks like the Scooby is on fire.
  21. This is my second post to the board and it is more like a cry for help. If you notice from my first post, I am leaking some oil from behind the timing cover (black plastic shroud in front of engine) and I can not figure out how to get the darn thing off. I used a socket but all it does is move and make a clicking sound. Is it stripped or seized up? Whats it going to take to get that off? What belts and pulleys have to come off to access it as well? Will I need a puller or any specialty tools? Thanks in advance. Greg coloradosubarules@yahoo.com
