Yes, it should have one on the Drivers side of the radiator. It bolts to the two holes at the top of the radiator and sets in the support at the bottom. If you need one, let me know, $15 shipped. Lmdew@hotmail.com This may or may not fix the overheating problem. When you get it on, you need to make sure you burp the coolant system and then make sure the coolant is getting pulled back into the engine when it cools. If it does not do this, you most likely have a bad Head Gasket.

Yes, you could leave the hillholder off/disconnected Yes, you need to remove the support. It could be used to lower the trans, but they are very light and you can do it with a floor jack There is a spring clip under the upper rubber boot. Pull it off and the cable will pull out leaving the adapter in the trans.

The ECU was the first thing I tried, a used one. The readings were the same. Not positive, but with two doing the same thing, I'm happy to make the leap and say that is what the system is looking for. If someone had a same make and model that would be a nice check. I read it out with my OBDII reader and the Fluke 87. There you go.

Well, I got a Subaru front O2 Sensor and put it in. It still reads 3.8 volts, but now responds as it should instead of a constant 3.8 volts. I have never seen an O2 sensor with that voltage signal, but the ECU is happy and has been for the last week. I guess you need to get the SUBARU O2 sensors for proper operation. In this case the bench check did not help.

Large Hammer Chisel HackSaw Vise Grips 1/2" Breaker bar Essentials for the yard! 1/4" drive socket set 3/8" drive socket set 1/2" drive socket set Combination wrench set 2 large screwdrivers 1/4 or 3/8 pin punch Side Cutters Most of the hardware on the motor is 10, 12 or 14mm Make sure you have a 6 point deep 14mm socket Lower starter nut is 17mm sometimes To get all the wiring out of the car, pull the left front fender and drop or pull the steering wheel. You need to fish all the ECU wires out. Sometimes I pull the dash. Do they have a A-frame for the hoist?

Pull the gauge cluster and remove the speedo mounting screws one at a time, clean the contact area then put the screw back in. The mounting screws are the contacts for this speedo. If that does not do it, it could be the Speed sensor or if needed I do have a complete gauge cluster with a good speedo.

If they are good, those are reasonable prices. Used Trans are $750 or so from the yards, same for engines. You may want to drop a 2.2 engine in or watch for a wreck that has a good engine and trans. You may be able to pick the complete car up for less than a $1000.00 In the end, look at the life you will get out of the car.
