Replaced the faulty sensor with a Rock Auto special $1.50 ; so far so good.

To each his own way; I prefer gauges that are accurate and will be replacing mine with something I can calibrate.

Mine has doubled in the past week; something is going on.

Is it normal for the oil pressure sensor to fail by reading high (very)? I'm getting 65 psi on start-up at idle and almost maxing out as the rpm increases. Stays above 45 psi as the oil warms up. As this just started with the coming of colder weather, I ruled out bad oil with an oil change. Will check in my spare parts for another oil pressure sensor in the morning. Hope it is the sensor and not the actual pressure - don't want an oil seal popping out...

Where are the intake ports?

I've been trying to track down the problem with the driver's door power window on my '88 gl wagon. When I pulled up the carpet under the passenger seat, I couldn't figure out what the long white plastic component with electrical wiring is - photo attached. What is it?

My '88 gl wagon has excessive + camber for both rear wheels. Any recommendations for a Portland shop for getting the adjustment done?

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/01/drive_an_older_subaru_in_portl.html#incart_most-read_pacific-northwest-news_article I think these particular thieves have been "borrowing" older subarus for quite a while - my older gl was stolen and recovered the same day in the same area last May - same M.O. as in the article.

5 qts of Mobile on sale for $11.99, then there is $7 rebate coupon if you can find it; net cost $4.99.

Freddy's has Mobile 5 qt containers on sale for $11.99, then there is a $7 rebate coupon, so $4.99 for 5 quarts. Had to look for the rebate coupon - found them on an aisle display.

Shaved key? Don't really know.

My daily beater, dog car, commuter was stolen from Portland's Barbur Transit Station on Friday while I was at work. Walked around the large parking lots a couple of times thinking - maybe I parked somewhre other than what I remembered. Called a friend for a ride, called the police to report it stolen...wait... wait some more, walk to the spot where I parked to see if there is broken glass on the asphalt - no glass. Friend shows up, police call to take the report over the phone; have a hard time remembering my license plate number - finally get it right and the officer has my car information. As I'm getting into my friend's car, I see my car's roof-rack in the distance poking up behind another car at the opposite lot from where I parked in the morning. Friend and I walk over to the car and it is parked in a weird spot at an angle; interior has my car junk all over the car, 3 doors are unlocked, pop the hood and engine is warm. Call the police back and tell the officer that car has reappeared; officer has me check that my registration hasn't been stolen - registration still in my hidden spot, license plates still on car. Only items stolen are: a torn windshield sunshade! 2 harbor freight flashlights, a first aid kit, a volvo screwdriver and a $2 pair of plastic sunglasses. Thief left behind a broken pair of eyeglasses... Car had passenger front door lock punched in. Car started right up. Passenger door still locks with the key. Thief description: Stupid - risked a serious beat-down and felony arrest for breaking into and stealing a 26 year old car? Short - driver's seat was left with the seat fully forward. Bad eyesight - the prescription glasses left behind are very strong. Desperate - steal a torn sunshade? Smelly - my dog car had a new strong odor...

Cleaned bumper and used Mothers' "Back to Black". Big improvement from 10 feet...

Have done this to keep the rubber from baking and failing early on the inner CV. Will try reposing the photo...

Don't forget to drain your trans fluid first.

I just changed the front struts on my ea82 wagon and xt. Used the HF spring compressor and was wary at first, but the spring compressors worked fine. You really don't need to compress very much. You'll want to have some spare rubber bumpers handy - two of my four were too far gone to reuse. http://www.harborfreight.com/macpherson-strut-spring-compressor-set-3980.html

Why do you want to remove them? Getting to the HLAs is not difficult, but a little time consuming if it is your first time.

I put new struts on my 88gl wagon and it eliminated my uneven tire wear; the old struts were clearly way overdue for replacement. The ride now is so much better than before, should have done it a year ago.

Looks like it might be the end of the clutch fork, but that would mean a lot of wear.

He might be from Moscow, Idaho... I think they speak englais there.

Closing the doors on my 3-door is also a recurring problem because of air pressure; I try to keep the passenger window slightly open to avoid it.

Today, I drove both my 88 gl wagon and 87 gl 3-door; outside temperature was about 45 F and I noticed that the whole dash area around the 87 3-door was extremely hot with the fan on the first setting and heat on full while the 88 wagon, with the fan that only works on the highest setting was not warm at all with the heat on full. Is the hot dash on the 3-door just from the 50W 1st resistor? "0.46 ohms, 50W 0.6 ohms, 22W 1 ohms, 16W "

Clean up all the grounds, disconnect and inspect connections in the engine bay wiring harness - look for corrosion and spray with contact cleaner.

When I removed the factory ac from my 88 gl wagon, I replaced the alternator bracket with a dl bracket
