Just change the plugs. No spray cleaner is going to really do any cleaning of hard carbon on the pistons and valves. And there is really no need to replace injectors either. If they are working, no codes, normal fuel trims, etc, then they are working and replacing will just cost you money. Spend it on a few tanks of premium fuel and you'll get just as good a result.

The tank is a "saddle" design, and relies on a siphon action in the return line to pull fuel from teh drivers side, over the hump, into passenger dside where the fuel pump/pickup is at. It is possible that the OP here has situation were the siphon is not picking up the drivers side fuel. Pull the fuel pump and inspect the siphon action.

My EA81 wheeler has 3 harnesses! Original EA81 carbed wiring (w/headlight wiring routed through spare tire well behind engine, rather than under radiator) EA82 SPFI conversion for EA81 engine wiring with ECU under the column And EJ22 wiring from 93 legacy. ECU behind glovebox. I left the SPFI just "incase" I ever wanted to put an EA81 back in. Plus it's just easier to leave it rather than go through the trouble of removing.

This is incorrect. There are only 2 temp sensors. The one for the gauge is a single prong. The 2 prong one is for the ECU. ECU controls fans based on this signal. EA cars have a thermoswitch in the radiator for fan control but EJ car that's been handed to the ECU to control via relay.

yeah, we never got the marker in the fender, just on the bumper. it's actually a light not just a reflector.

If it's really all original paint and mileage (which I totally believe looking at it.) it could be worth double that Original sticker price.

One of the 2 wires to that solenoid is a ground. The 3 wire has no ground. Swap connectors and or add an ring connector somewhere as appropriate.

Man that's sweet. Inspiring me to check out my EA81. I've got a weird creaking cracking sound every time I go on/off throttle. Never broke a windsheild though. I might well do something similar to what you did here. It looks sick. I wouldn't put fenders back on! Maybe tie to that laterally behind the wheel down to the A-arm rear mount? Small tube or bar/strap even down from strut tower plate sistered against inner side of wheel well? To spread forces on the strut top down to the main beam under the floor. And maybe down the front of the wheel well to the tow hook area of main frame beam? Also please please don't get in a head on wreck now cause you've got zero crumple zones for energy absorption. Big G's gonna hit you if you have a head firster. Not just on you either you gotta really watch out for the dumb assholes out there now.

Spark plugs? when they get bad, they cause awful bucking/cutting out under load.

the taillight and the brake lights should both be part of the same rear facing red section of the fixture. Perhaps your bulbs have burned the "lo" filament out? Or maybe small town cops are very bored and screwing with a "hippie" subaru owner. (not saying you are just that some people have that perception of subie owners)

post pics?

You said 84 in the first post and in your other thread? Either way yes you've got the hitachi, and sounds like you got the cable routed correctly.

no look up 1984 Brat GL In 85 there were both EA82 and EA81 cars so that's were the confusion ussuallly starts. But all (2nd gen) Brats are EA81 so look for Brat covers not wagon.

For the OP and cars mentioned here., Yes, you can use the 215/60/16 tires/wheels from the forester on the outback. (or vice versa) The Forester wheels have about 10mm less offset, so will stick out just a hair from where the OB wheels would. Still fits under the fenders though. Looks way better IMO. *note.....after 2000, Outback models MUST use 16" wheels and cannot use 15" forester or older outback wheels. The front brakes are too large.

You;ve got a carter carb. Must be an 82. the hitachi carbs cable goes to the other side. his 84 will have a hitachi as the stock carb.

2 blacks will be the heater circuit. Not sure on the other 2

no you need a 95-98 2.2 intake to make that swap wrok. and it won't have EGR

yes just remove the flywheel and install the flexplate for the automatic.

The EJ25D can be replaced directly with either: The 95 EJ22 Or with the EJ25d in the 98 forester. If it is in fact a 98. If the forester is 99 or newer, it will have the EJ251 SOHC which will NOT work in the 99 Outback.

This is why I ONLY will install Misuboshi timing belts and Koyo/NTN rollers. Just like OE Glad you figured it out. You got SUPER lucky. 19 time out of 20 that would be a valve bender.

I personally think they really cheapened out on the second gen legacy platform. (1st gen Outback) 1 interior color, black, ugh. Cheap, unsupportive seats. Plastic door handles NON_FOLDING SIDE MIRRORS!! Just stupid. Sucky interior lighting. Eliminated acessable shift lock defeat button. The one thing that they improved was to get ride of the stupid Automatic seatbelts, and implemented dual airbags. By contrast, the first gen leagcies were really, really well made cars. Subaru really made an attempt to step up the quality to compete with Honda and Toyota after the shall we say "quirky" reputation of the EA series 80's cars. It was good for their sales and reputation, but cost alot. The Imp and Second Gen Legacy cars were an attempt to cut costs on the new "EJ" platform cars and expand the line. They stepped back up a bit with the 3rd Gen Legacy/Outbacks from 2000-2004.

Respect your knowledge, but I think you got it backwards. 95 was Dual port 2.2 WITH EGR. It was the MT that did not. 95 AT 2.2 is actually the perfect swap for the DOHC 2.5 since it has Dual port exhaust. I know because that's alway what I ask for when I buy 2.2 for OB and FOR swaps. 96-98 2.2 in AT Legacy/Outback(96 only) cars also had EGR, but are Single port exhaust so not a "Direct" swap unless you swap ex.manifolds. It was the 90-94 and the MT 95-98 2.2 that did not have EGR

Still nowhere near safe. Maybe for an adult on a low speed trail ride. Wearing a helmet. Not for an infant/ toddler child in a car seat. C'mon people have some common sense about this. Subaru made the Baja for people in their 30's and 40's that wanted Brat's in their teen's and 20's. Cause now we've mostly all got kids. Funny though. I went on the Winter Wonderland Gambler 500 2 Novembers ago. Ended up teaming with a group of 3 guys in a Brat. (the AristoBrat) it was called. Classy. These guys where commited. I follwed them and for 200+ miles, one of them was riding int the back. In the cold. In the rain. On high mountain roads covered in snow, bouncing around. On the freeway doing 70. I offered up a warm front seat in my 84 wagon. But none of them wanted to be the one who 'couldn't hang" and they finished the run all 3 together, taking turns in the jumpseat wearing raingear and a helmet. I will have to work on getting my GoPro footage of the trip uploaded. Camera mounted to front bumper, so I got about 3 hours of video following "The AristoBrat"

Yeah, but it's still stupid. I'm not worried about the cops I'm worried about my children being maimed or killed. I have a wife, a 6'2" 15 year old, and a 2 year old, and another on the way. Brat ain't gonna cut it. No way, o how. Brat's are actually one of the rarest and most desirable car's of the 80's. Actually Autotrader ranked them highest for search vs. listings ratios of all 80's cars. Find me listings for good ones. I dare you. There's probably less than 200 listed for sale in the US right now. Compared to literally thousands of Baja's in the country for sale. That being said I've got 5 brat jumpseats if you want to buy some.

Actually, he did more work by removing wiring and sensors one at a time if that's what he did. The entire intake comes off with the harness attached, and makes accessing the TC bolts easier. If he finagled those bastards in without removing the intake, he definately spent alot of uneeded time.
