Both grossgary and l75eya were accurate. A clogged filter was the culprit. Thanks to all you guys for your advice. I love this forum. It helps keep my old soob on the road.

Ok. I wasn't sure if something might do that up there, it just seemed to be making a bit of noise in that area when I had someone turn the key. I'll have to check my ground wires. I have had issues with bad grounds in other cars.

The damage was very minimal. The grille cracked and the hood dented just slightly. The car is obviously not showroom new, but has ran me very well for 3 years and has relatively low mileage (140000). I do feel that the issue is related to the impact due to the fact that just after it, the car stalled and would not run afterwards. I have checked fuses. I don't see any obstructions in the air intake, and MAF sensor connection appears good as well. It starts, runs for about 5 sec, then stalls.

Hey everybody, Unfortunately, last night, I hit a deer with my '90 Loyale wagon. Thankfully it was a light hit, but it stalled not long after I hit it, and now it will start and immediately stall. It appears to be fuel related. I can still hear the pump turn on when I turn the key, but something up by the throttle body makes an electrical 'sparking' noise when I try to start it. It seems to be something controlling the pump. Any ideas on what it could be?

Thanks Gloyale, My thoughts were to change out the stock pushbutton with an on/off toggle. I do feel that it is a switch issue due to how it "tries" to shut back off when i push the button to disengage it, but it takes several tries to get it disengaged. Then it generally engages again after a short time. I'll know for sure today.

Thanks, that's a great reference link. I'll have to see what I can find out there.

It isn't a dual range, just push button, and it is engaging. if I'm not mistaken, the push button should stay in slightly while engaged in 4wd, shouldn't it? Has anyone ever replaced it with a toggle?

I've been having an issue for the last couple of days with my push-button 4wd on my 1990 Loyale wagon. My 4wd just randomly kicks on while driving. If I am able to get it to go back off, it seems to be right back on again most times when I start the car. It seems to me like a switch issue, but I'd like to ask before I buy parts.

What other options are out there for 13" rims for a Loyale? I have see pug rims for sale on here, but i was just wondering if any other 4-bolt rims were compatable.

Hey guys! My brother is having some issues with his compressor clutch on his forester and I was wondering if we could switch the compressor clutch with a spare one I have from an 02 Legacy gt. I have no idea if they are compatable, i was hoping that someone here might. I know they are able to be replaced without replacing the entire compressor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch guys, I just knew I had it available, but it doesn't sound very worthwhile as my ea82 runs just fine. I do like the idea of disk brakes and new rims, but if it wouldn't be a fairly simple swap, i don't know if i really want to tear it apart, being my daily driver and all. I may just have to wait until I can find a donor GL-10 or RX in my area.

Hello awesome Subaru community! I have a 90 loyale 3sp auto 4x4 wagon. I have recently come across a lightly wrecked 2002 legacy GT heading for the junkyard. I am interested in finding out what, if anything is swappable and links to what may be involved. I am particularly interested in hubs/brakes/wheels and engine. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

you also can get the cone washer from subaru through their pats department. I had mine shipped to me from a dealer & bought them online. I think they were about 10 bucks each though.

Great video available on ea82 timing belt replacement by MilesFox on Youtube as well.
