  1. Could be the temp sensor. Cleaning the IAC is always a good idea. If it has not had normal maintenance (plugs wires air cleaner) do those as well. If it's a sensor cam or crank it should be setting a code and the CEL would be on.
  2. Try shooting a little Starting fluid or gas into the intake. If it starts, it's a fuel problem. Heat to get the moisture out of the gas. Warm Garage overnight would be another good way to check things out.
  3. Front is rotating further than the rear, 10 revs on the front produce about 9 & 13/16 revs on the back. Front 4.11 Rear 3.9 Time for a 4.11 rear. I guess the dealer was wrong.
  4. Any good auto parts store will have a seal remover. I've found driving a small 1/8" screwdriver between the outter lip of the seal and the block will bend the seal out of shape and then you can pry it out with ease. I do this at the top. If your careful, no damage is done to the block and since you are not on the camshaft no damage to the sealing surface. Don't forget to pull the oil pump and locktite the backing plate screws and replace the o-ring.
  5. NZ is way better than FL for a working holiday!
  6. You need to get a 95 2.2 intake manifold with EGR. It will bolt right up to the 93 block and the harness on the 95 Intake will plug into your 97.
  7. Say, if you provide the cold beer and a place to stay I could make it a working Holiday!
  8. No, they are all single cams. I've done 8 or so of these swaps and they are easy. - Ensure the EGR Valve configuration matches your engine, if you have one, you need to have one on the 2.2 engine - If you have a dual port exhaust, but you get a single port exhaust engine, get the y-pipe - If you want the Power steering lines to bolt up factory stock, along the intake manifold, get the power steering lines as well Plug and play!
  9. If you can do a leak down check that would confirm your thoughts and current tests.
  10. You swapped in a 2.2 motor, complete with intake - is this correct? Mark the IAC position, loosen the 2 screws on the top and move it slightly. As long as you have marked it you can go back to the previous setting. Is this a used motor? Was it running OK in the previous car? All the hoses hooked up?
  11. Just flushed a 93 Legacy, in the top and out the bottom. The hard line bolted along the frame rail that points straight up is the top hose-the feed line. The other is the return.
  12. Car info would help. I'd get a second recommendation as many times its not the CAT.
  13. Did you check the back of the drivers side head? The port may be plugged in which case you can pull the plug out and put the ERG on.
  14. Could be fuel, leaking injector, filter, pump. I'd also pull the plugs and inspect them, as nothing I know would cause this amount of water (if that is what it was) to shoot out the exhaust. If it's a head gasket leak, you should smell the Anti freeze when its running. The condition of the plugs will tell you what's going on. Bad Gas? Any Check Engine Light, if so get the codes.
  15. PB Blaster the nuts, let it soak. I like to use tubing wrenches to break thing loose. The plug could be at the head as well. Yep, pretty much have to pull it apart to clean it.
  16. 95 2.2 with EGR will bolt and plug right in. Search the site for 2.2 swap, there's tons of info.
  17. For the dual cam 2.2 engines, I take an old timing belt and cut it then wrap it around the cam and crank gear and pinch the belt together in the middle with a c-clamp or vise grips. Works great for breaking the bolt and torquing the bolt when you put it back together. Hope this helps
  18. Sounds like it could be the compressor going. Try jumping the pressure switch at the dryer, also check for bubbles Try jumping the compressor relay in the engine compartment fuse/relay box. If it kicks in with the pressure switch, you need to service the system
  19. Look on both sides of the center tunnel up front under the dash. The cables may not be connected or the control panel could be bad. The passenger side controls the heat The drivers side controls where the air is going
  20. So if you turn on the AC all is fine In the defrost mode, the AC compressor does not come on? When this happens, if you turn on the AC does the compressor start to work? If so, I'd say you had a bad control panel.
  21. I picked up a 93 Legacy Sedan and the sunroof is out of adjustment. It works and will open and close, but when I run it closed the right side on the rear is 1/2" down when the left side is flush with the roof line. If I continue to run it further close the Left side is a 1/2" high when the right side is flush.
  22. Does it idle OK? Did you check the TPS with a meter to see if its within specifications and there are no opens? Check the vac hoses as well
  23. The TY sticker was there but no numbers on it. I guess I'll just get the drive line hooked up and mark the tires and with one side jacked front and back see if they rotate together. It would be nice if it's a match. Dealer said the rear end was a 4.11 on the 95 by the VIN
