Buckstopper

What did you do to clean the IACV? Carb cleaner?

That is the way I am leaning as well. If not only because I can have the tranny out to make sure the seal is seat ALL THE WAY in the housing. Sure wish I knew someone close with a transmission jack.

Ultimately, I purchased an OEM seal from the dealer. It was the only one that fit in the housing "properly". Apparently it was still a bit tight as I did not get it seated in the space well. I just don't know if I should remove the engine or the transmission to get this work done. It is almost a toss on work load. I looked at the bell housing just behind the Flywheel and saw the fluid coming out over the edge of the bell housing. I have to assume it is the seal.

I just R and R my motor and tranny on a project Subie Outback I purchased. After I got it running, the transmission is leaking out the front of the bell housing. I suspect front seal that I replaced. Any ideas before I pull this tranny out again to put a new seal in. Possible other leak points to check in this area?

So I guess it goes without say that I will have to swap the actual sensors to all three pulleys as well. Yes the EJ 20 I have does not have the variable oil valve. I was told to leave those unplugged and have them flashed out of the ECM. Are there any other hurdles you can think of that we should swap before getting the intake bolted back to the block, ie sensors, water lines, etc.? Items I have swapped already include. Flex plate oil pan a couple of sensors that did not match the old harness (knock being one i think) intake of course soon to be all three crank, and two cam pulleys along with their respective sensors. Thanks you so much for any help on this. I need to get it completed.

Did all or most of the other sensors match up from the old harness / Intake to the new EJ20 JDM motor? I am right in the middle of the very same thing you did and having a little trouble with the sensors matching the old Wiring harness. Also having to swap the oil pan to the old one so the exhaust will bolt up. 2006 Outback EJ25 no turbo to a 02-05 EJ20 no turbo.

On the diagram on the cover, is it the one that reads 15 A UNIT IG 1? It is also colored yellow.

No power to the coil.

I also tried a different used coil to see if that was the problem but it did not start with that either.

The hard codes ( before crank / start up) are 700, 743, 753 all dealing with tranny problems. I actually have not checked the codes again with the new TCM as the engine does not crank continuously with the new used TCM plugged in.

Howdy Subie fans. I have recently acquired a 2006 Outback. 2.5 no turbo. AWD. The previous owner replaced a dead battery and reversed the polarity with the cables to the wrong connectors. Positive to negative and vise versa. At this point, I have found that the main 120 volt fuse for the main fuse panel was blown, and the TCM (Transmission Control Module) is burnt. I replaced the fuse and the engine would then crank but not start. Then I replaced (with a used part) the TCM. Still no start. I checked to find spark at teh coil but found none. Fuel pump primes with ignition on. All lights on dash come on with ignition on. Unit will crank strong for a while but no start. Side note.... the ECM looks brand new and smeels not burnt at all. Where do I go from here?
