nipper replied to aripurdy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt actually is a crap shoot. Mine had a knock for 5 minutes then went away. 1000 miles later all hell broke loose in a rather exciting way.- Engine vibration
nipper replied to andyduff's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck the tranny mount Both my subarus idle as smooth as silk (dont kno9w about the Justy yet)- Engine vibration

nipper replied to dusterbd13's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAltenator. Bench test is useless and a waste of everyones time. You are missing the proper test actually. start the car and rev it to 1800RPM or more. Turn EVERYTHING on, and i do mean everything. Take the voltage reading. Don't by the cheapest rebuild you can find, you will regret it.- Justy Update
4WD justies live in the pacific northwest. You have to be anal about maintanence and it has a few weak spots. The CVT got a bad rap as it was drivers who killed it. A 4wd with a cvt would be so sweet. They did come in four doors and are quick for thier class.- Engine vibration
nipper replied to andyduff's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhat did they call a tuneup?- Justy Update
Dont know yet. He spent a lot of time parked and i am making up for those sins. It is the CVT so it should push 38/40 No AC but a little car with plenty of air flow.- Justy Update
The justy will never see road salt if i can help it. There is a log list of what has been done to him, but i may pay someone for the last few mechanical steps.- Justy Update
Well it looks like my investment may pay off. 1989 Justy 30K Whats left Finish cleaning up my wiring (alarm and electric locks and cruise). i may not get it all done before it goes on the road, but may have no choo=ice) Set up the carb (i hate OBDI). It is almost done (plug in green connectors and disconnect everything) 4 new tires Replace timing belt and leaking seal Have an exhaust system built Thermostat Maybe a catalytic converter (I dont know if the early ones suffer from sitting) a real Stereo.\ Some kind of trailer hitch with a 3rd class receiver for my bike rack. Gas starts heading towards 4.50 a gallon Blu will have to come off the road until it drops again.- Strange Turn Signal Behavior
nipper replied to jboymechanic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX#1 reason, the trailer adapter. #2 is a bad bulb that has shorted out and is backfeeding.- Head Gasket Problem DOHC vs SOHC
nipper replied to myhilo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYes if you overheat the engine you can damage the oil depending how long you baked the engine. 2.5's have the problem vs 2.2.- Transmission Slow to engage after HG job.
nipper replied to Jarhett's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you removed the TC with the engine, you may have damaged the input shaft seal. Do a stall test, I think you may have messed something up. Put the car in drive while running. Stand on the brake pedal. Give the car throttle. The engine rpm reached should be shy of 3000 RPM. Stall Test Results Higher than normal RPM indicates one or more of the following: • Slippage of the forward clutch • O.W.C. not holding • Low/Reverse brake slipping • Overall low line pressure Lower than normal RPM indicates one or more of the following: • Incorrect throttle adjustment • Poor engine operation • Torque converter stator slippage will cause higher RPM. This sounds like the converter is not in properly. http://www.tciauto.com/Products/TechInfo/torque_converters_explained.asp- t-belt rubbing inside cover

nipper replied to hankosolder2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm on the opposit end. Replacements are hard to move by hand. At that mileage, since you can do your own work, get them off ebay and replace them.- stubborn flex-plate bolts... HELP
WD 40 is not what you want. You want some liquid wrench, and let it soak, then re apply, then soak, then try.- Did this tow damage my Outback?
nipper replied to subaru87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHe may have put some stress on the parking pawl, but I doubt any damage was done.- Did this tow damage my Outback?
nipper replied to subaru87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot for the 20 feet to move the car.- Disappearing Dot 3
nipper replied to Legback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNo damage to engine. That is where you look when you have checked everything else. Nothing left after that.- Disappearing Dot 3
nipper replied to Legback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe seal is leaking due to engine vacume. It is leaking into the booster and the engine is burning it. You never rebuild a MC you just replace it.- Running Hotter than normal
nipper replied to damouse1928's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYAY we love simple issues. Still replace the cap just because. Get one at parts store unless the dealers is cheap.- Seat belt starting to shread
nipper replied to mark786's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGoogle it and find out.- Help.. cold air intake
A tail wind, a sail, going down a steep mountain all help with performance. If you want to remove the engine and and make a hot engine, then the sky and your wallet are the limits. There is quite a lot out there for the 2.22, as the 2.5 is built (DOHC) right to the edge of the power they can support. - 1999 Outback making "knocking noise"
