I took some pics of my 89 GL10 with the hesitation problems. They are in the pic gallery under "recent pics" ( I think that is what it is called ) thx again, Simon James

Hey Calebz, I posted some pics of my engine and should be in "recent photos", I thought that I was putting them in a personal photogallery but I guess there isn't one. Sorry all for being a pic hog. Anyhoo, hope the pics are good enough for what you were wanting, Calebz. Thanks for your help. Simon

Hmmm, ic ic. Yah, I'll take a pic of the motor and post it. I was always curious if there were possible incompatibilities with a Legacy Engine and GL10 everything else. I'm in British Columbia, Canada. It's dark now, I'll post the pic tomorrow.Hmmm, now I look at your pic, I don't remember seeing anything like that under the hood. Makes me wonder if I have a Legacy engine in there or my seller has a knack for Fiction. Hmmm BTW, just curious, is that setup from your pic from an 89 Legacy? I believe that is the engine in mine (as I know that there was a big change in 90's) Simon

Hmmmm, them are goooood thoughts. I believe we replaced the ignition coil (if that's what you meant by coil packs), we're going to replace the fuel filter and check for vacuum leaks. I'll look into the fuel pressure thingie too and consider that it may be different when under load.And I'll check the O2 sensor thingie. I'll look into that stuff and get back to you all. Thx again, Simon

I have a 1989 GL10 Turbo that has a Legacy Turbo engine in it. Standard shift. During acceleration there is no sign of the hesitations but as soon as the Turbo light comes on the hesitations occur, usually 1 to 2 per second and really annoying on steep hill climbs. Has anyone else experienced this? We have checked the Knock sensor, Throttle Position Switch, Mass Air Intake, changed the plugs/wires/cap, improved the ground wiring, put in a relay for a better spark, checked for exhaust leak, checked the Air Filter. We ran the car without the Turbo and it still did it but not as much. We checked the fuel pressure. The two things left we are considering is the Car's Computer and the fact that there is a straight pipe in the car for exhaust and my mech was mentioning that the hesitations may be occuring with respect to a sensor and that there is really no resistance (that a muffler would provide) with my exhaust pipe. Another questions is: is a vacuum leak the same as an exhaust leak? I think we may be checked that but not sure as a vacuum leak is something that others have mentioned as a possible problem. Anyhoo, any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Simon James
