  1. What's the CEL code? Make sure the light works and read the computer. Start with the basics: Plugs - NGK copper core Plug Wires - Subaru or NGK Get a Mechanic who knows Subarus!
  2. no you need every thing off the standard trans car to do the swap, but you can Legacy777 has great thread.
  3. Check the CCA of the battery could also be a leaking injector is allowing fuel pressure to bleed off
  4. Put the other bolts back in to share the load and then use a 6 point box end wrench.
  5. no electrical input. if you have the 2 section rear drive shaft, drop out the last section. make sure the front and rear diffs are the same.
  6. put a dollar bill very close to the exhaust. if it gets pulled back into the pipe while running you have a bennt valve or hg leak
  7. MAF if it idles fine but has on power when you step on the gas
  8. Yep, those toothed idlers are the ones that fail most of the time. 96 2.5 99 2.2 93 2.2 95 2.2 These are the motors just this year that I have seen with that failure and I just do this for fun. All ran with just new timing parts, no bent valves on the 96 and 99!
  9. Glad your OK. Could always by it back from the insurance and keep the engine and other good parts for you next one.
  10. I've done them on 93-96 Legacy's and everything bolts right in so you should be fine.
  11. Plug and Play. The connectors are pretty standard. Some of the new new ones have different connectors. Most of the Single and Double DIN will all plug and play.
  12. I love Colorado Cars! Pretty much rust free. Let me know when you need a good one!
  13. Search this form, lots of info out there already. The other option is to drop in a 95 2.2 with EGR. Usually cheaper and you have a better engine when you are done IMHO. Again lots of 2.5 to 2.2 engine swap info is you search.
  14. Go to the Local Self Serve yard and pull an interior. Easy to do and Cheaper than trying to get them professionally cleaned.
  15. if you only jumped the car and then only had short trips you battery may still be very low. I'd get it charged. Short trips don't do much for charging the battery to a full state.
