If carbed it might be accelerator pump perhaps

Check your front catalytic converter. I had a similar problem awhile back and replacing the cat fixed the problem.

What kind of problems is it having? Wish mine was the turbo instead of base carb version. Is it dual range or push button? Good luck.

Might have to stick with the 13's until you decide to drill hubs or get lucky enough to find some Peugeot 505 wheels that are bigger.

Any particular models that you can think of? Toyota?

Hi people, I have been searching around for a good tubular front and rear bumper replacement, has anyone retrofitted one from a different car and made it work. I have had no luck locating one that fits directly. I see them all over the place on different cars and I am sure something would work just not sure about mounting points etc. Thanks

[Will 1988 MFI GL cv axles fit my 1986 carb GL?]

Thanks for response. I know that 23 spline is needed. I just need to know if the shorter distance between boots on the mfi compared to carb would be a problem.

[Will 1988 MFI GL cv axles fit my 1986 carb GL?]

Hello,

I was scrounging around at local junkyard and found a 88 GL that was pretty decent, grabbed a few parts of course, I saw that someone had taken out the transmission and left the cv axles on the backseat floor. Being that my cv's need new inner and out boots I was considering picking these up and just rebooting them and installing, my quandary is I read that the cv in mfi is different than carb. Spline is the same but the distance between boots is different. Does that matter?

May I ask why eBay? Can get good ones on Rockauto.com

Fixed. All along the cat was plugged and pretty broke inside. Replaced with new Y pipe and cat and voila instant power.

As far as I know 3.5 backspace is pretty close to stock. Might need others with more experience to chime in on that.

Here is a list I found. s22.postimg.org/gps5g1ohd/image.png

Toyota 4Runner 80-95 15x7 4.50 backspace

Isuzu Trooper 84-91 15x6 3.50 backspace

Isuzu Amigo 89-00 15x6 3.50 backspace

 

Just to name a few, hope this helps some.

Thanks to Machineit I was able to try out a new carb to see if it fixes the hesitation problem, well it definitely helped compare to way it was before. I am thinking that cat is pretty plugged up preventing good flow. Soon will have new cat and see.

Fixed the secondary problem by going mechanical.

I put finger on port from carb and revved and felt no vacuum at all. Got car back from local shop today, wanted someone to look at it. Apparently both head gaskets are blown and the cat is clogged. So have to figure out what to do now. Would love ej swap but that's spendy. Guess I will do mechanical conversion of the hitachi and replace cat. Then change head gaskets eventually, and timing belt at same time.

[1986 Subaru GL EA82 stumbling at 3000 rpm]

Well the gas starts spraying about 3000 rpm or so to allow the transfer to secondary I believe. So problem is not having any vacuum from port in carb that secondary attaches to.

[1986 Subaru GL EA82 stumbling at 3000 rpm]

Also it wouldn't be a silly idea if you could get your hands on a compression tester and check compressions to get an idea of engine condition. 150 - 160 psi for engine in good condition (service manual)

Need to warm up engine 1st then remove all spark plugs then get someone to crank engine while you hold compression tester in each spark plug hole in turn when crank engine - need to hold throttle wide open as well while cranking / compression testing.

 

With spark plugs out the colour of the porcelain insulators will be a guide to whats happening as well

I plan on replacing the belts anyway. Eventually going to replace everything to keep silver going for long time. Yeah I am going to rent a compression tester from local auto parts place this week sometime.

[1986 Subaru GL EA82 stumbling at 3000 rpm]

I brought car to a place that is highly recommended by some local Subaru fans. Told them what I have observed and they said they will check it out. Hopefully they can tell me what needs to be done or fix cheap.

[1986 Subaru GL EA82 stumbling at 3000 rpm]

I think I might have figured out the problem. Well maybe. I had air cleaner assembly off, checking vacuum again and when it was idling I revved engine to make sure fuel was going in, at below 3000 rpm fuel was squirting in primary no problem but no fuel at all in secondary. Checked vacuum diaphragm and there was no vacuum going to it, I manually moved the secondary and it revved no problems. So problem seems to be no vacuum to secondary diaphragm, now how to fix that I don't know.
