mikaleda replied to Starlite's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've heard of a few complaints in the outback forums about the circuit board on the back of the radio desoldering the pins. Do you have the HVAC/radio that are built together?

mikaleda replied to OldSubaru1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPersonally I would pull the battery stick it on the charger, that's the only way to get a full charge on your battery without running the car for hours. As cougar said disconnect the damaged doors door ajar indicator. It should be somewhere along the door jamb, it is a black button like thing protruding from the door jamb. Disconnect ones side and tape it up so it doesn't ground out and cause the light to come back on. Reinstall the battery and give it a couple days and try starting it to see if it solved your problem. If the car is going to sit for a while its always a good idea to disconnect the negative side of the battery.

mikaleda replied to brentlysubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPersonally I would pass on that motor. Are you set on putting another ej25D in or do you want to put a bit more work in and have a little less powerful but way more reliable motor? You might want to look into doing a 2.2 swap. As said above the EJ25D has a internal leaking head gasket so you won't be able to visually inspect it. If your set on grabbing a junkyard 2.5 then you may want to spend the time and money and throw the updated head gaskets in before you install it.

mikaleda replied to Corpy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThese cars are sensitive to wires so if your not using really good wires they could still be the problem.

mikaleda replied to Corpy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXChange you spark plug wires with good quality wires ngk or beldin lifetime.

mikaleda replied to legacy93wagon's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe rear is already disengaged when the engine is off since hydraulic pressure is what actuates the center diff clutches IIRC. The problem is towing an auto on the ground even with just the rear wheels on the ground will continue to turn parts that are always engaged with no fluid flow to lubricate anything. Really easy way to burn up your transmission. So no you don't want to tow auto awd on a dolly without disconnecting the driveshaft to the rear end.

mikaleda replied to ebbsspeed's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have never worried about priming used motors, usually the only time you need to prime the oil system is on a rebuilt motor that's never had oil on the bearings. Personally I would get it in, fill the filter and motor with oil then start it and make sure the oil light turns of fairly quickly 30-40 seconds is the longest it should take. If you feel like pulling the plugs and disconnecting the injectors and ignitor then do it, it certainly doesn't hurt to be cautious.

mikaleda replied to BryaN505M's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGoing to Manuel trans will give your more performance, but they aren't nearly as reliable as the autos. Male sure you check the input shaft bearing for play before purchasing. They typically last around 200k before they start to get sloppy. I've seen the autos go 400,000 when taken care of. It sounds like you have a good start for a very reliable car. 95 is non interference and obd2 IIRC so you have the perfect year.

mikaleda replied to Uberoo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXeither wire by it self will run the fan at low speed, I haven't found any difference in which one to use. Of course I'm wiring them in to my 3/4 ton Chevy so I'm using their max potential.

mikaleda replied to comatosellama's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLength is the only way I know of to tell the difference between models. They do have part #'s but I'm not sure of they will help or not.
