i have a 2001 Subaru outback that i just replaced the clutch on. its very hard to shift and it wont go into 2nd or 4th or reverse. i can get it into 1st, 3rd, and 5th by really pushing it. i did change the transmission gear fluid at the same time. the shifter barely wants to move and wont go into those gears.

ok thank you for that. i put it into D-mode and im getting 11 and 13 crank angle sensor. it is not getting spark. i replaced it earlier with a used one but its out again. im going to buy a new one but the only place i found that sells them is oriellys and its $150. do you guys know of a cheaper place?

so i put my wires in the correct spot with no change. i just took out the disty and re aligned it with the timing marks amd made sure it was ponting at number 1. the battery died so i cant try it but i noticed the ecu is flashing 5 short blinking lights. i now there isnt a code for that but is it a bad thing.

the fuel injector works i went and got one from a junkyard and it is shooting out a pretty good amount of gas. i have the intake boot on just took it off to see if the injector was spraying. the code 42 was refereing to idle switch. i replaced the part of the throttle that holds it and the code is now gone. can anyone post a oicture of where the spark plug wires go. from my understanding cylinder 1 and 3 are on drivers side and #1 is on the firewall side. cylinder 2 and 4 are passenger side with #2 on fire wall side. if you are standing at the front of the car #1 is on the bottom left of the distributor and number 3 is bottom right and 2 is top left and 4 is top right. im thinking im wrong but if someone has some insight that would be great.

i took out the distributor and set the flywheel mark to 0 and put it back in. its facing the #1 cylinder and it no longer back fires. one sprocket is up and one is down. the timing belt is fine. i am getting code 42 and not know the exact year of the engine its either the idle switch or the fuel injector. does anyone know about that at all?

so i just replaced the spark plugs and it backfires after about 7 seconds of constant cranking. what should the timing be.

i have checked compression and its good, but after i put the spark plugs back in didnt make the backfire pop. i can see that it is getting gas and if i open the throttle a little bit thats when it will pop and shoot gas back out of the throttle. the spark plugs look nasty so im going to go get some knew ones and see if that does the trick. also when i took them out they didnt even look wet.

when the guy swapped it, it ran perfect then just stopped. he couldnt figure it out so he sold it to m dads coworker who messed with the distributor and got it to run for about 10 minutes. he gave up and i got it. the rotor turns and it gets spark, fuel and air.

i have an 86gl that was originally a carbed engine but now has the ea82 spfi that was swapped before i got it. it didnt have any spark but figured out it was the crank angle sensor. now when i try to start it after a couple of cranks a get a small backfire from the throttle body. i had a friend crank it while i watched the throttle body and the fuel just piles up on top of the butterfly valve till it pops. i checked the ecu and its flashing a trouble code of 42 which is the idle switch/circuit. i dont know how to procede or what to do. im guessing the throttle is too closed so the fuel is draining past the butterfly valve. please help and thank you.

Ok thanks you guys

Also does what are the numbers on your ecu. I want to make sure i have the right one in it

I have an 87 gl wagon with the spfi engine in it. The coil has 12v on both sides, with no pulse. The distributor is only get 5 volts when the book says it should be 10. Yhe coil is sending power through the wite that goes to the top of the disty where the rest of the spark plug wires go. Any ideas

i have a manual 5 speed and i lookd at the connectors behind the computer and several arent connected to anything. there are also another several right next to the battery that arent connected. there isnt even spots for any of them to connect. is it suppose to be that way?
