So Ive been wanting an older Subaru for years. Helped my dad on my neighbors GL over the years and loved how simple it was. I build custom cars trucks and bikes but wanted a winter beater, backup vehicle and stumbled across an ad. Long story short $40 later I was the proud owner on my 90 Loyale 4wd 5 speed.
So I was told it wouldnt start and probably needed a fuel pump. I get it home. Tried starting fluid, nothing. So I have a spark issue as well.
Crawl under to look for the pump and find the original pump hanging with a universal mr gasket pump wired in all hooked together. Obviously that would never work but Ill use that brand new Mr gasket pump on my Cadillac Im building. Next I put my meter on the wires. Run up, turn the key, run back and see just milivolts. So, It looks like Im not getting power to the pump. Was told the timing belts were done less then 9000 miles ago, Engine is spotless. Whats my next step. I have done automotive wiring for years but dont know the ins and outs of these cars. I know there are some electrical gremlins going on already. Radio, hazards, and clock dont work. There is stereo wiring hanging below the dash. So I will tackle all that asap (Did stereo and remote starts for years)
Sorry if Im asking dumb questions. Ive searched alot, and found some good answers but looking for ideas to try
