Thank you for your help Dave. I'm going to try it this weekend.
As for calling Subaru for a quote, I'm already on heart medication so I think it would be better to not tempt the fates at this time.
By the way Dave, what year Toyota did you pull the part from? Does it matter?
Thank you again for all your help.

Hello everyone,
My loyale threw a code 35 which has to do with the Purge Control Valve.
Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Is it usually the control valve or are there other components that may be at fault?
Is there a way to test the valve?
I would appreciate any help with this issue.
I have posted here before and received excellent advice. Thank you all for your help!

Hello Wolverine18,
I have a 1992 Loyale that exibited similar symptoms. My car would run for a while then sputter and die. The car did turn on after about 15 minutes initially. As time went by, the car would die sooner and it would take longer to restart. My fuel pump was working and I had power going to the coil and distributor. I did not have spark at the plugs though. My problem turned out to be a bad pick-up in the distributor. I replaced the distributor and I've had no further problems.

Hello everyone!
I finally got some time to work on my 1992 Loyale. I finally got it to run!
I had no spark so I tested the coil which turned out to be good according to the readings I got. There was power going to the coil
and there was power going to the distributor. I replaced the distributor and the engine started immediately.
It looks like the pick-up had gone bad.
Id like to thank everyone for all your help specially Cougar and Gloyale.
I did manage to get the trouble codes from the ECU but that only told me there is a problem with the purge control solenoid valve (code 35).
I did notice that there are very few Subaru's in my local junkyards. I found 1 Subaru wagon in an Oceanside, Ca. and that was it. I'm going to try more junkyards further south tomorrow.
Thank you all again!

Hello Cougar,
The pump does go on when the ignition is turned on. I also have power at the coil but no spark when the engine dies or refuses to start.
I'm going to try and work on it some more next Thursday through the weekend since I'll be off work.
Thank you and everyone else for all your help and have and have a great Thanksgiving!

The igniter module is a common problem.
Thank you Cougar.
I checked the coil to make sure I had power when the engine died today. The coil actually has power but I still get no spark.
I checked the distributor and made sure the cap and rotor were in good shape. The shaft is also solid so that rules out the distributor gear.
I did some research and it appears the problem may be caused by a faulty Igniter Module as Cougar Mentioned, A bad Crank Position Sensor, a bad Coil Pick-up, or a bad Camshaft Position Sensor.
Does anyone know if there is a fuel pressure sensor that would shut off the car if fuel pressure drops too low?
Cougar, Thank you again for all your help. I'll keep post any progress I make concerning the intermittent problem.

Thank you Gloyale and Cougar.
I found the green connectors in the engine bay as Gloyale mentioned. there is no small black connectors but there are 2 white and a larger single black
connector that doesn't have the corresponding male plug.
When I plug the 2 green connectors together and turn on the ignition, I can hear 2 clicks that evenly repeat about every 2 seconds or so from each other as well as well as in between sets. It's almost like something turns on then turns off. The check engine light stays on but does not blink.
I did get a code from the ECU. That code was #35 and it has to do with the evaporative purge system. That wouldn't make the car turn off I believe.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of problem? I experienced this type of problem with an old Chevy a few years ago. The Ignition Module would heat up and then fail. The car would turn off and then restart after the Module cooled off.
Do Subaru Loyale's have a similar Ignition Module?
Thank you in advance for any help I can get on this issue.
Jesse
The car did start this morning and it ran for a couple of minutes before I turned it off then it wouldn't restart.

Thank you Cougar!
I actually have power at the coil. I will check the negative side this weekend although I remember it blinking.
Thank you again Cougar!

Hello everyone,
I am hoping to get some help with a problem I'm having with my 1992 Loyale.
The engine keeps turning off and will not re-start for 10-20 minutes. There is no spark of spark is
intermittent. It will spark occasionally but not often enough to start the car until some time has passed.
The coil was replaced with a new unit but the old one was actually within listed OHM specs when I listed it.
The check engine light did go on which is why I'm posting this note.
Can anyone tell me where the green diagnostic connectors are on my 1992 Loyale as well as the black memory connectors?
I bought a Haynes manual but it does not list the location of the connectors. It does warn me not to "Jump" the incorrect connectors to avoid shorting out something else.
I've also seen several posts describing similar problems and have seen several solutions including replacing knock sensors, crank position sensors, ignition control modules, as well as others.
Being able to pull the codes will hopefully lead me in the right direction.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Can someone please tell me where the fuel pump for the 1992 Subaru Loyale is?
I've looked at a few websites and have gotten a couple of different answers. Even the parts
store isn't sure where it is.
Is it in the gas tank or is it external?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jesse

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie so please forgive any trespasses I may commit. It's also my first time joining a website like this one.
I just purchased a 1992 Subaru Loyale sedan with a bit over 66K original miles. The car was donated to a church who then
sold it to a buyer, who sold it to me.
This is the first time I have ever bought a Subaru and am wondering what I got myself into. I read their reliable, have no power,
leak like a sieve, and have problems with timing belts.
I look forward to reading and sharing experiences with Subaru.
Have a great day!
Jesse

Thank you again everyone for all your help.
