yes, this sounds like a fun game.

Bummer these are now $257 on Auto Zone ... same as Rock Auto.

Mine has also started to lag. Seems to be worse now that it's winter. Doesn't really bother me, but I have a spare gauge cluster to swap out when spring gets here. Goodluck!

damn so sad to see them go.

just wanted to report back, after a lot of messing around it seems like I had a bad TPS! It tested good, but after the FPR swap, injector swap, two mafs and a new IAC I was having the same issues. Swapped the TPS and it seems to be doing great. A little bit of stuttering on the pick up, but I think it's the Peugeot wheels I'm running now. I have a space FPR just incase!

Jeesh. good luck.

Ah! Yes I was misidentifying the dampers. When searching through images with the search "fuel pressure regulators 88 GL" it shows both the dampers and the FPR. I thought they were all FPR. Thanks for correcting me. I'll be swapping mine tonight and will report back if it fixes my issue.

There are a few pressure regulators going to the throttle body. Did you replace them all or just the one with the vacuum line that mounts on the throttle body? I picked up a spare throttle body myself with all pressure regulators attached. I also swapped my fuel pump with no change. I'm thinking pressure regulators are to blame as well. Will report back when mine is fixed. This might become the next regular repair for bad acceleration....

@DaveT did this fix your power issues?

Here is The Desert Fox - I got this from @Mechanical_misfit ended up selling it and then getting it given back to me....the kid that bought it couldn't maintain it and gave it to me for free. basically a $1,300 rental haha. JimBo has a whole thread on here about the build out and upkeep. He can't seem to access his account anymore.

Did some more research and it looks like they were made for aftermarket purchase. Not from the dealer. Sorry for misleading ya'll, but they are real! haha

Ah good to know. It was very easy to bend - I'm not surprised you had one snap on you. Fingers crossed this one says whole.

@jono thanks that's great advise I'll have to try it. Hopefully not for valve cover gaskets...haha...let's hope these last.

+1 on the easy check. Always into making things easier.

Earl is great, but not what I need. Maybe he has some photos though....

Subaru used to make vinyl decals would could come from the factory if you wanted.....one was the Desert Fox....I believe the other was the Mountain Grizzly. Unless I'm mistaken and the Mountain Grizzly vinyl I've seen was just someones cool mod.... anyone know the history? I'm not actually interested in getting re-productions of the vinyl. I'm just wondering if anyone can throw up some pictures of a Mountain Grizzly. I can't find ANY examples online.

bahahaha amazing.

Hey hey - I'm looking for some good photos of the Mountain Grizzly Vinyl. If anyone knows how to source them. Throw them on the thread please! Best, TJ

have not resolved code issues. I'm going to try and clean the injector to see if it helps. I'll report back with news when I have it.

Over a yr out, but I appreciate all the activity this saw. Thanks for the input ya'll.

Just to update. been running with the same cap. I just bent the prongs on the cap a little and it snugged right up. O-ring was still in place and not crusty.

@Bushwick right....if the gas station nozzle already has this safety feature then why would we need to double down with the shut off valve? I just wonder if it's possible to not have it...it sounds like it's doing the same thing as the gas station nozzle to me.... someone correct me if I'm wrong plz.

About a year out, but the gaskets from RockAuto have been working great so far. no complaints.

Ya'll think I should start a different topic to trouble shoot this issue?

No change with Y pipe dropped. still acceleration issues, but only going up hill. Even the slightest hill. It rips going down hill and is okay on flat. haha that's such a sad sentence.....
