'92 Loyale headlight bulbs burning out quickly
I would replace the connectors in the plug or get new pigtails. Usually this is the cause of short lived bulbs in the headlights.

Need recommendation on headlight bulbs
nipper replied to jeryst's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBulbs do dim with age. Replace the bulbs, clean the lenses, and check the headlight aim. Same for the fog lights.

adding fuel injection to Ea71 1978 Brat
Actually its been surprising what the new EFI (throttle body) kits can do. However you do have a point and should email them to find out if it can handle it.

Baja Chokes + Radio & Instruments Go Dead
nipper replied to rp2813's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAuto electrics 101: The battery s a storage device used to start the car and make up any output defacits by the altenator (like at a traffic light) The Alt recharges the storage battery and runs the car. The Alt is not putting out enough power to meet the demand of the load, so the car runs out of battery power and starts running badly. The battery can rebuild itself if it sits long enough and hasnt been damaged by the discharge. These batteries arent designed for deep discharge. Just replacing the battery will not fix the issue, it may delay it but wont fix it. This isnt rocket science.

A typical reason for wet floors is a clogged drain hose from the HVAC core. Extremely common on all cars.

Baja Chokes + Radio & Instruments Go Dead
nipper replied to rp2813's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIts easy actually. urn everything on, rev the engine to 1800 RPM and take a volt reading. If its no 13.9 its a bad alt. Every alt I ever had go bad went this way. Fine during the day but cant keep up at night or in bad weather when everything is on.

If you remove the door cards yes they can be lubed. White lithium grease is your freind. Lubricate everything including the lock cylinders. Are the floors solid? Thats not a usual rust point for Roos. Congrats.

Baja Chokes + Radio & Instruments Go Dead
nipper replied to rp2813's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBefore we go nuts on diagnostics, has anyone pulled out a voltmeter to actually check the charging voltage and battery voltage? If I was to take a wild guess it sounds like your alternator has crapped out. What you describe is typical of running off the battery.

Pulling to right.
nipper replied to Starlite's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIsnt this the third attempt? There are times to walk away, and assuming the frame is straight, the struts are good, there is no good reason they cant figure it out, unless they are a bad shop.

nipper replied to Starlite's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGo to another shop, as this one cant seem to find the issue and they should be able too. What can cause a pull? A bad tire (rotate the tires see if it moves) A stuck brake caliper (front or rear) A frozen brake caliper Lets star there.

Engine stalling on driving
nipper replied to Gingrey's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA few basics first. How many miles are on it, what recent work has been done, and is it an auto? How is the fuel pump pressure?

nipper replied to opus's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWell I would go with a cheap am/fm bluetooth radio. Black friday is coming up you may find a deal. Its a std DIN slot.

2001 outback at oil temp flashing constantly after head gaskets.
nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe way it works normally is it flashes if there was a fault of some kind the last drive cycle OR if the tranny overheats. Since its always on it sounds like it got damaged during the repair.

Plastic Welding
I may try to fix it and eventually replace the panel. There are some multi part epoxies that are supposedly good for it. Its broken by the seat belt.
