3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCleaning the sensors helped but I don't think it fixed the fault. The Low level sensor light came on today, with 3/8 of a tank. It went back off in a bit. I have not filled the tank yet to see how much gas it will take. I'm going to run it until the low level light is on steady or I'm at E. I think they are wired in series as when I disconnected either one of them the tank went to E. Larry

engine swap
lmdew replied to Chippy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt's possible, use your old intake on the new engine. Your 96 most likely has a single port y pipe and the 91 has a dual port y pipe so you'll need a single port y pipe. The other problem is the EGR Configuration. you need to stay in the same configuration as the 96.

3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPulled both sending units tonight and cleaned the slip ring with a little WD-40 and finger pressure. Both read 500 Ohms Empty and O Ohms at Full. Time will tell if that takes care of it. Smooth resistance changes as the float moved full scale. No Opens. Larry

Repair the engine or buy another car?
lmdew replied to chrisw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou have some great You Pull and Pay Yards up by you. $250 for the engine and a couple of days of work. Out of all the engines I have pulled I only got 1 bad one. That engine I pulled from a crash free car which I usually never do.

Repair the engine or buy another car?
lmdew replied to chrisw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLeast expensive and a good option if you can do it yourself, get an engine from a self server yard and put it in. Do the Timing belt and seals. Look for a car with significant damage and lower mileage that way you know it was going down the road. $400 - $600 Get a used engine from a full service yard - www.car-part.com $1000 - $2000 Have a Subaru Engine Shop rebuild your current engine - $1500 - $3000 Sell the Car ($800 - $1500 depending on condition) and then replace it $$$$$$$

3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza
3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza I have not pulled the unit yet, but it's kind of strange that it's reading so high. The fuel low level light does come on but it's still showing half. I'll pull the unit when I get time and clean the contacts and make sure the float is free. Larry

97 Legacy Outback transmission swap,new trans just showed up
lmdew replied to Out West's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf the TC is seated and in, I'd just leave it. If you've pulled the TC you don't have to change it but it would not hurt. Leave the axle seals unless you see damage.

97 Legacy Outback transmission swap,new trans just showed up
lmdew replied to Out West's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe internal filter is really not a filter it's a screen. You most likely do not have the external filter, its available from Subaru. It mounts to the frame rail and you tap into the rubber hoses. Don't bother dropping the pan, in fact most times it causes a leak. Only drop it if it's leaking to reseal it.

Shifter interchange?
lmdew replied to pearlm30's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou'll have to get under the car and check the Trans shift linkage u-joint. There are a couple of different configurations.

97 impreza dohc swap need help please!
lmdew replied to subaru4Life2988's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI always go the other way 2.5 to 2.2. Never had a problem. Make sure all of you connections are good if you have not done that already. I'd you have a problem before the swap? Could be a cam or crank sensor is cutting out a higher RPM. Does it make a difference if you are under load or just in neutral?

recently purchased 96 legacy, some issues and questions on recommended repairs
lmdew replied to cymbri's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you need a TPS I have several. When you crank and it doesn't start does it have spark? You may have a cam or crank sensor going out. An oil leak at the back of the engine is most likely coming from the breather plate. The RTV fails when the screws loosen. Also make sure you PVC valve is working.

98 2.2 conversion failed emissions, no CEL, running fine
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAs far as I know it's the original cat and my be the original O2 sensor. New NGK plugs and good plug wires. Might have a good mid pipe for you, but I have been welding them as they crack around the welded joint in the mid pipe.

recommended spark plug
lmdew replied to jeffroid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEither should be fine. Not that much of a difference. Make sure you get Subaru or NGK plug wires.
