Headlight oddity & "Why I Love Subaru's!"
calebz replied to the_bard's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My old 73 chevy truck does that. I actually like it.. its reaL handy sometimes. On the other hand, My 70 corolla did that too.. on hard left turns, the keys would come flying out of the ignition:rolleyes: -
Xt4 Steering Rack is in my Loyale....
calebz replied to StormTrooper's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Too cool.. I have been wondering if that swap would be beneficial. MY FSM doesn't have any XT info, but I can find the regular old GL info to post later. -
I have never seen an EA82 N/A with FT 4wd.. XT6 came with an available FT 4wd 5 spd.

What is the deal with Subaru dealer parts dept.?
calebz replied to subarubrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Local dealership wanted nearly $40 for a clutch cable.. Ridiculous. Puyallup subaru only wanted $21.. so I had a clutch cable shipped 2400 miles jst so I wouldn't have to do business with thieves -
First question is.. why?.. is there something wrong with gaskets and bearings and such..? You got knocks and leaks and things? Or are you just a glutton for punishment trying to raise your level of subaru frustration back to the level of "The heavens opening up and doves flying out of your rump roast";)

The "lights always on" thing is cool.. It was one of the unexpected pleasures I found in my subaru when I first started driving it.. I was spoiled by years of owning Saabs(which also shuts lights off with ignition) and I really didn't expect this with my cheapo soob.. Surprise! Yeah.. My 94 camry does that.. problem is though that if you open the door before you shut the key off, the light stay on and kill the battery.(I make my wife carry jumper cables everywhere now because of this discovery).. Toyota dealer says this is the way it was designed.. Personally, I like the Saab/Soob method better -
Seized distributor on Loyale
calebz replied to viceversa's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey guys .. theres one more thing.. Although I agree its probably a timing belt issue, first check to make sure the little screw that holds the rotor in place is still there.. they work themselves out occasionally -
Cutting up the red wagon?.. oohh.. you're killin me:mad: Have fun.. keep a few things off for later use..For example, fuel pumps for turbos are expensive.. Ok.. I am making assumptions here.. but you are talking about the wrecked red one right?

New guy with car that won't start
calebz replied to matt b's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Possible.. But CEL doesn't light up with key on/car off.. fuel pump isn't coming on either. Suggestion. On the drivers side, under the hood, right on top of the firewall,/under the windshield are 2 green connectors. connect them and turn the key on.. fuel pump and relay should audibly cycle off and on every 1.5 seconds.. if you hear that, you know the ECU is doing something, since the ECU controls that electrical pulse. -
As I said..I wondered .. past tense.. I wonder no longer thanks to the illumination you cast upon the subject:D

Yes, the ECU controls the fuel pump. Generally the fusible links will be visibly broken if bad. A simple continuity check will verify that they are good however. I have a handful off good ones if you wanna come over and get them. -

The following info is based on the assumption that the car is fuel injected: First thing to check would be the fusible links.. little black box under the hood attached to the coolant recovery tank on the drivers inner fender wll between the battery and the strut tower. However, I am inclined to agree with your assesment of fried ECU, having recently experienced a startlingly similar situation. The ECU is located right above the drivers knees. Under the dash trim. Between the trim and the steering column. With the key on and engine off, the ecu should have a little flashing light in the front of it that displays a manufacturing date code. Here is a link to more info on reading soob error codes. However, if you dont get any flashes, the ECU is probably toast.. not terribly common, but it does happen -
Turn the voltmeter on.. touch the red lead to the wire you want to test.. touch the black lead to metal somewhere to ground it.. display should tell you what the voltage is.. cna't be more specific.. don't know what meter you are using

Hmph ken.. I wondered where that thing went.
