yeah its my spring project. nipper

Thats Blu

I usually interupt the starter and the fuel pump. Key is to hide the switch someplace that seems like a natural motion in the car to flip, but is a pain to find for a thief. Sometimes you guys make me feel safe living outside NYC. nipper

hehehe usually its the passenger seats that work and the drivers dont.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww nipper

Normally U tube sucks for noises, but man, that is not a good noise. Time for a used engine. nipper

:-p:grin:

Yes they can run with timing off, but not well, as you have seen. If That is the issue good.

There are a few ways this can happen. One way is to not slowly fill the cooling system while the car is running (allowing for the t-stat to open and keep filling, test dirve, repeat), or an improper T-stat. Another is air getting into the system somehow (bad rad cap, blown HG, Leak). I am fearing the middle one. Replace the cap, refill the coolant system with the engine hot and running. Good luck. nipper

Just explaining the reasons why they have different puters . I figured someone who has swapped them can answer better then me. nipper

sigh ...whatever. i am not perfect, guess you are. have a good day. nipper

I read that as you putting a switch to opne it on demand, sorry. Do what you want it's your car. And yes noise regulations have gotten very tight. I personally think there are enough distractions in cars as it is, and no one watches what they should watch. Why add a silly light?

If the rest of the car is burned too, I wouldnt try it. Subaru engines sit very low under the hood (Pancake or suitcase take your pick). this puts it under most combustables. If the front tires are melted I would think twice about it. Upright engines (everyone else) is surrounded by combustables. If there is small scorching under the hood, I would say its ok. If the Wheel well liners are melted, I wouldnt use it. nipper

No it wouldnt. As you could get a ticket for excessive noise, may see a drop in gas mileage, and may throw a CEL. Some things should be left alone, as this is made to give you the best of both words. nipper

when you loose some power, as that is what they are used for usually. In some cases you may never know depending upon how you drive. nipper

1- its a thermo switch, period. 2- ALl it is isdoing is getting air from the hot exhaust pipe. It is not bypassing the air cleaner. If it is you have bigger problems or wierdness going on.

Only time will tell. nipper

small nicks are ok. IM thinking the TPS has an issue that may not be reproduceable, but first just remove the connector clean it and put it back on. See what happens. Very few things will put the transmission in limp mode. One of them is a loss of both VSS sensors. Check that harness and plugs too. nipper

i'll be in DC, so i can't go. Drress warm and avoid puddles. Teaching a sooby to swim in summer is one thing, but in bitter cold can really ruin your day. nipper

did the engine overheat? Is it a hollow deep kind of sound? Are you sure its not a tensioner or idler for the timing belt?

MAF sensor doesnt feed back to the transmission, but the TPS does. The TPS may be dirty or have a weak spot in it. nipper

what year is it please

Florida....

Cooked the engine. They did all that work and didnt do one minor thing. Change the oil. Engine is shot. nipper

Wee need all the info. Alot of tranny issues are not tranny issues at all but actually engine issues. Has anyone scanned the ECU for codes? nipper
