  1. I have a stumbling problem on my 88 spfi subaru. I have never replaced the fuel pump and it has 150 thousand miles on it however the fuel filter was replaced in april. now when I start it it wont even go past 1000 rpm sometimes unless I go really slow on the gas and not hard on it. before if I just floored it, it would stumble but now it stumbles all the time. what could this be? bad TPS? fuel pump? it did rain a bunch yesterday and I'm wondering if that hurt it or something.

  2. Ok so you are burning oil then. There are three ways I can think of that subaru can burn oil. 1 is bad valve guide seals in your case severely bad seals. or 2. Bad oil rings. you said you looked at them. Did you replace them? and possibly 3. PCV system is drawing oil into the intake. I'm thinking about the ea82s did that on long turns. I would also check to see if your air filter is dry or is covered in oil. Other than that it shouldn't be anything else.

  3. Hiya guys. This board is a lot better than the old one. Here is my problem. My car is leaking gear oil a lot worse than before. I thought it was the drainplug/gasket so I went to checker and got a new drain plug and it came with a rubber gasket. But after i replaced it I noticed the old one had a metal gasket and I'm curious if it has to be metal. Cause now my leak seems to of gotton worse. Suggestions?
