  1. Only when I turn right and yesterday I managed to run out of gas at 1/4 of a tank so I truly believe it's gotta have something to do with my gas tank
  2. Hi guys I just purchased a 96 legacy l for some reason when I take right turns with a little speed my car boggs out some times it dies sometimes it barely idles then 10 seconds later it fine but only right turn I don't get it and it's not throwing any codes any help would be appreciated
  3. that reminds me i also have a engine light code but have never done this with a subaru before how do i check it is there a light on the ecu that flashes?
  4. so i have been working on my 88 subaru gl-10 its got the ea82t in it done the head gaskets put it all back together and she purs like a kitten engine is very smooth no shaking when idles its perfect high revs just fine but when i put it in gear and put a load on it and drive all my power goes away and tops out at 15 mph i have checked the timing and rechecked a set it about 5 more times after that and im sure its dead on even my rotor is set to cylinder 1 on tdc im looking for possible problems that would starve it for power maybe egr valve? oxygen sensor im not sure would love to hear some feedback thanks guys keep in mind this car sat in the weather for 9 years never ran till i got it
  5. I did head gaskets replaced timing belts ect she does run timing is dead on but can't get any power unless I advance it about 30 over and even then she don't have enough power to really drive and bogs out weird in me out mind you its my first subaru

  8. is there a way to switch my electronic trip meter from kilometers to miles and the temp also reads c instead of f i have not figured it out yet note my dash is mph left hand drive american car 88 subaru gl-10 e82t
  9. so ultimately it was only running on cylinders 2 and 4 my compression test before i fixed it was #1 25psi #2 115psi #3 0psi #4 121psi
  10. found the problem kerandt was right rocker arm came out after the motor sitting for almost 10 years spring was sticky very slow return after cleaning it out and manual crank spins to slow bump start she works great again and another rocker arm tried coming out due to same reasons but stayed in slightly crooked holding valve slightly open but all is fixed thanks for the replies guys
  11. So I did a head gaskets new seals had heads machined and checked for cracks ohh and block put everything back together and it started right up timing is dead on engine shakes more than usual motor mounts are new can't achieve over 3500rpm does not idle smooth tomorrow I'm gonna get my compression Guage back and hopefully that might tell me something any ideas would be helpful
  12. Well crap I figured out the problem and it started right up I had wire 2 and 4 mixed up on the cap the top of the cap is numbered and wrong
  13. So I have redone the timing on my 88 subaru gl-10 like 10 time thinking I have done something wrong I followed miles fox tutorial to the T and when I try to start it it turns over for a few seconds then to almost a dead stop then turns over again I did not pull the distributor out and it seems to line up after the whole timing procedure I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and mind you I just changed head gaskets and seals so any ideas?
  14. Looks like it's time to put her back together! !!!
  15. Mind you this is my first subaru teardown lol so bare with me just want to make sure I do it right
