  1. This 1993 Loyale was posted on CL... The owner said that it had a blown head gasket. 

     

    He was taking it to the scrap yard the next day...  My friend and I ended up going that night to pay for it. ($350)

     

    The storms here in Oklahoma were too intense to go over everything with the car... We ended up jumping it, and taking it around the block 4 times until it slowly started to overheat...

     

    My friend and I went back a couple of days later to replace the battery and see what we were up against... 

     

    To my surprise it was just the lack of coolant in the radiator and a small leak in the lower hose!!! 

     

    This baby hasn't overheated since, and is running like a champ!!!

     

    This is a great thread!  Can't wait to see more!

    The other night I drove my (93' Subaru Loyale 5 Speed Manual Wagon 1.8 EA82) for about 2 hours while it was raining out. AC on the entire time. The next day I went to start her up... Nothing It just cranks, and will

     

    not start...

     

     

    Here is a list of everything I have tried so far:

     

     

    Battery: good (tried jumping with my other Subie)

     

    Alternator: good

     

    Starter: good (clicks everytime I turn the ignition key)

     

    Spark Test: No spark even after I put a new distributor rotor on... I'm confused about timing... any tips would help.

     

    Distributor Rotor: I've put a new one on. I also checked to see if it was spinning when I cranked the motor to make sure it wasn't a timing belt issue.

     

    Ignition coil: good (also put a new one on) Still no spark...

     

    Distributor Cap: This is what I'll be changing out today... Hoping this gets a spark.

     

     

    If i'm missing anything please help inform me!

     

    I'm new to this so forgive me if some of this doesn't make sense. Any tips would help! Thanks!
