90 legacy radio and climate controll buttons malfunctioning
mikaleda replied to mikaleda's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you read my op you would rFealize that I did say that. And again the memory wire is hooked up properly it just doesnt have pOwer. I have tested the wire with a test light and it is not getting power now. Yes it was an after market stero and I'm not even sure that the memory was working on the old one. There should be a fuse for the memory somewhere there usually are. And just because there is no power going to the memory it DOESN'T mean it is hooked up wrong it is the original memory wire from the old radio. I can run a new wire from the battery but I don't like doing that if I can help it

How to transport a windshield?
mikaleda replied to pearlm30's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX+1 i have salvaged windows before and the piano wire is the best way to get them out just make sure you don't nick the edge of the windshield because that will ruin it.

90 legacy radio and climate controll buttons malfunctioning
mikaleda replied to mikaleda's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXclimate control. that could be but what i don't understand is why i am getting power to both sides of the fuse even when the fuse is not inserted. i tried search but didn't come up with anything like this but i will try again using different parameters memory. memory is positively hooked up right everything else works fine it just won't hold presets or time.

90 legacy radio and climate controll buttons malfunctioning
90 legacy L. for some reason ever since i put my new stereo in my memory is not working i am thinking fuse but i can't find one any where. i checked the fuse block, checked the radio fuse checked under the hood in the fuses relays box, and checked all over the place under the dash. also for some reason my climate control switches arn't getting any power, they haven't since i bought the car. i have checked for a fuse for that and found one in the fuse block but the fuse was in tact and for some reason when i checked it for power it has power to both sides of the fuse with the fuse removed. does anyone know what is causing this? i have a suspicion the two problems are connected somehow, but i'm not sure. any help would be appreciated. i would really like to get the climate control working before winter so i can defrost my windows, its already starting to getting cold enough in the mornings up here to have frost on the windshield.

ea71 timing
if you are 22 degrees out that means you have a vacuum leak you need to find that and fix it then fix the timing

Just thinking about air
another thing i have noticed is if someone is in front of me on a dirt road i back off until i'm not sucking dust that their car is kicking up. i have gone from changing my filters with my oil changes to changing them twice a year. just a thought.

86 gl 4wd wagon
in my opinion if he has the spfi motor than there would be little differance in milage getting a loyal they have the same engine and also with the five speed he should be getting at least thirty. personally i like my legacy if your not off roading they are the better choice (in my opinion) they are all wheel drive get around 30 mpg if you have the 2.2 and are much more comfortable than the loyal and defiantly have more power

03 Outback rear lugs sheared off
mikaleda replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi have never done a stud on a subie before but i have done this on other cars, if you can get the new stud in without removing the hub you can put a couple washers on it and tighten it down with the lug and a lug wrench.

AWD Question
mikaleda replied to ergo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXim not an expert but i can tell you i have five awd subies at my house and none of them have ever needed to be re-alined before 10k they have all gone at least 10k on one alignment and i live on a bumpy dirt road one of them just got is first alignment at 90k (since we bought it that is) one thing you can check is to see if your steering rack boots are ripped that could cause contaminants to get in and were out the steering gears so your alignment gets messed up

stupid deq!!
f you gd. i have never claimed to be a know it all (unlike you) i just say my opinion and they can take as they want, and by the way i have had help from lots of help from new users that was incorrect it doesn't mean they know nothing or they are trying to mislead anyone they just want to help. and if i was doing something so wrong you would think one of the moderators of the site would have said something to me by now, so far YOU are the ONLY one that has said ANYTHING to me.

if your engine has timing belts than you have an ea82 an that also means you have spfi, that is a good engine you should get fairly good mileage with stock tires. your best bet is to just stay with stock tires. the block number will say ea82 that means you have a fuel injected 1800 and ea81 means you have a carberated 1800, also the ea82 has sohc and the ea81 has timing gears and push rods. just thought i would add this if you want good milage and don't mind spending close to 2,000 on changing gears get a legacy i have a 90 2.2 all wheel drive i get around 30mpg highway and has alot more power than any gl i have ever driven
