Complete throttle bodies. 4 bolts and the two coolant hoses and cables and you are done. Larry

There are checks you can do on the TPS. If you search here you may find the readings. Check the wires and clean the plug with some contact cleaner. If you clear the code and it comes back and or the TPS readings are out you'll have to change it. The TPS will have to be adjsted when installed unless you grab the complete throttle body. I have several at home, but it would be Wed before I could ship it. I'm sure lots of USMB members have them floating around from doing the 2.5 to 2.2 swaps.

The old style tensioners are very good. Unless they are leaking or fail the compression test you can use them over and over again.

If its only in a turn, you may have a bad hub bearing as well. When you change the axle, check the bearing for smooth operation.

Did you get the ABS working correctly? If so please let us know what you did. Thanks, Larry

I've seen several 2.5 motors 96-99 where the crank sensor plug wire insulation was cracked just behind the connector. This caused faluty starting or no start conditions. The liquid electrical tape has been a good fix for several of them where the core wire was in good condition.

Should bolt right in. Double check the starter mounts, some have the stud on the transmission others have the bolt that goes into the engine. If you are missing the stud and the 95 will not have the engine threads, you can heli-coil the trans case. I've done this in the past. Good power, I've been happy with all of the 2.5 to 2.2 swaps I've done.

They shipped me new belts, I had them in 2 days and the new belts were marked and in their own boxes. Good results.

I'd drain the tank and put good fuel in it. Is the Check Engine Light on? If so get the codes and let us know what they are. Could be many things, but if it started just after you put fuel in it, it may be bad gas. Was the tank pretty empty when you fueled up?

If you have a manual transmission, the no option for a fuse for FWD only. You should be able to find a good used wheel close by, the tires should also match. http://www.car-part.com should find a wheel for you. 5 x 100 is the spacing and that's standard 90-2001 and may be more except for SVX and STI Subaru's

They are sending new belts, but next time I think I'm still returning to the Import Experts.

I love Colorado, I never have that problem. There is a world of difference between rust belt and other cars.

I'd recommend the Kits from theimportexperts . I've never had a problem with them, good belts, marked for alignment and quality bearings. I tried Domestic Gaskets and they sent the kits in a box that was so small it put a kink in the belts, making them junk. The bearings look the same, with the toothed gear being the red seal, instead of green. Lot's of the OEM seals are red, so I though they may be a higher quality kit. I'm going back to the theimportexperts. Larry

It should plug right in. You will loose the compartment below the radio.

Depends on what years you are talking. Saying All is a big qualifier.

I'd start with some good injector cleaner. If you pull your plugs, the color will tell you if one cyclinder is not operating as it should. Could be: - Plugs, Coil, Wires, Injectors, Fuel Pump, Air Cleaner.... If you just replaced the knock sensor, it may take the ECU a little while to fully reset.

Do you have the spring pulling the clutch fork forward-released position? Tightening the clutch cable will put the TOB against the pressure plate which is not a good thing. You should have about a 1/4" of free play in the fork travel before the TOB and the pressure plate make contact.

Remove the bulb from the dash and disconnect the ABS unit. Brakes go to the normal non-ABS function

95 2.2 is all I swap in. I've seen many 2.5 with the HG done, only a year later a rod lets loose because the bottom end was damaged by overheating. Hey, if you are doing all the work yourself and you know the engine was not overheated do the 2.5 HG. Forget is posted, good 2.2 are getting hard to fine. You should go for the 2.5

Well it would help to know what year model and engine you have. But given what you said, I'd say you are: - Low on Coolant (leak bad Head Gaskets...) - Check the coolant when the engine is cold, is the over flow bottle up to the required level? Pull the cap, is the Radiator Full? - Check the overflow bottle for black oily stuff, a sure sign of a HG leak. - Get you coolant system pressurized - Get you coolant system checked for signs of Exhaust gases, NAPA sells the kit for $70 or so. - If all that checks, it could be the thermostat, water pump or plugged radiator. Has the coolant system been maintained?

You need a good fuel pressure gauge to make sure its working correctly and the pump is putting out the required fuel pressure. The PS pump is a load on the engine. You may also want to check the belt tension.

There's a ground that should go from the firewall pitch stopper to the trans, its about an 1/8" dia wire. Good size.

If the hose you are talking about is on the back side of the intake down off the fuel lines, its the fuel pressure regulator. You should have a vaccum line diagram on the hood. Check it out. Yes, the codes are necessary, any good auto parts store will read them for free. Plugs, Plug Wires, Subaru or NGK only! Check the coolant overflow tank for signs of oil = Head Gasket leak. Remember the search feature of the USMB, you will find lots of good info.

Sounds like a good plan. Yes you should only have 1 VSS on the manual trans.

Most likely its electrical, Auto Trans correct?
