Anyone rebuilding ea82 for 84" Subaru gl wagon 4x4 fwd.. ?? Cars in new Mexico.. cost?. Like one in pict...

Weird never had car do that. Had em not start due to points or stuck,outta gap.but never while running..

Doesn't go over normal temp Mark or overheat ..

It's in New Mexico,I'm stuck in South Florida caring for my last eldery parent who's been very sick, Unfortunately have to sell my wagon,hate to do so the old 4x4,s getting real hard to find. It fires right up runs til temp and then cuts off ,sits then fires right back.up, someone said temp coolant switch?...

I have a 84 gl wagon runs cuts out when up to running temp.??? I need to sell it my eldery mom's sick,so I'm in a bind... complete car,all glass good 4x4 all works analog dash roll up windows...any help be great. Thnx

Did you check plugs??any wet plug on the low cylinder?..x-ray eyes would help us all..I bought 84 gl wagon 4x4 ea81. Love those wagons ..

Found the module you spoke of, has 2 make pins coming off black unit...was only $11 us dollars, picked it up just to be safe n have a extra handy...don't think much was done to the car,work wise,all original from what I'm seeing, even the dead pack rats in the air vent...I,ll check O2 sensor n temp coolant sensor if has it n see what happens...thank u all so much...

Thanks will give it a try...never used Rock Auto, parts geek has Subaru stuff for 80,s ...

You mean the internal coil? Inside distributor? Guess magnet n pickups inside casing?..,***cars dying after warms up...no overheating just cuts out..cools it starts...I'm new to this car And wanna keep it as 4x4 trout fishing n camping mobile .thanks for everyone's replies... appreciate it..

Thanks I've heard of issue w distributor,$40 ain't bad..guess I,ll look I to proper name n hunt.....I like having extra parts of common fail parts...thank you. Stay safe n strong....

That is good ? Think I checked that, but what if doesn't? Distributor? I heard there's a pickup eye in there?.just trying to learn the car. It's different than 65" c10 Chevy haha. Cool lil motor I must say, like to get it rebuilt n gone through eventually..thanks for reply boss.

Thanks just learning this car, bought basic Chilton to read n learn local of stuff..,Sad cause runs nice n even w no tune-up & new cap rotor plugs,n valve adjustmebt,should be good for my needs if so on them sensors, I bet the old guy I bought from never changed them,..was used as lil ranch vehicle in new Mexico..that metallic blue gl 4wd wagon...has all 5 wagon wheels n orig everything I'd say..

Thanks,I,ll look,that be on exhaust below altenator etc on exhaust..**guess 84 was last year ea81 n it's 4 speed so don't know if has hydraulic lifters or not...been on learning curve w this car,hope to get it to be my fly-fishing n fishing transportation off road,so trying to learn .the crazy electrical scares me more than mechanical..been c10 Chevy guy over 30 yes.. & alot 60,s cars since I'm older guy..thought these be neat lil camping fishing rig,compared to a lil atv...thank u for any help...

I'd say hung up.or bad seating valve,start there, head is easier to deal w then piston rings...
