If you're only driving a mile or two, you're going to get considerable less mileage then what the "standard" city mpg is. I drive about 1-2 miles to work every day in my nissan truck, and the mileage is absolutely horrible, yet if I drive on the highway, I get great mileage. I really doubt anything is wrong with your car. At most, I'd recommend you change your thermostat....and/or possibly the coolant temp sensor. I just really can't see anything being wrong with your injectors.

So you're putting a used auto in correct? Unless you plan to replace anything inside the used AT you're putting in, you shouldn't really need anything else. Removing the AT is a little bit of a pain. You might want to get a tranny jack, and have someone around to help The only thing I'd probably recommend you replace is the speedo cable base piece http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/speedocablebase.jpg They are known for going out, and are pretty cheap to replace. Do you know what year and model car the transmission is coming out of? Is your legacy AWD? If so, you really need to make sure the final drive ratio is the same. If you post the Tranny model codes, I can probably help you verify that. Where in Texas are you from?

The injectors are a pain to remove. The best way to remove them is to squirt some penetrating oil around the seals, and twist them. The twisting works about the best to remove them. That's a pretty substantial difference in mileage between city & highway. Are you doing a lot of short trips for city driving?

Here's a pic of the coolant temp sensor. It's under the passenger side intake manifold http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2477.JPG However, if the fans aren't coming on with the AC, then I doubt it's the sensor. I'd check the electrical connection to the fans, and the fan relays.

They did not make a 5spd touring wagon. The numbers from subaru on production amounts are bs. Dave and a few others have done a 5spd conversion. I've done one on my 90 sedan www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap I'd suggest checking out www.bbs.legacycentral.org You'll find tons of info about the touring wagon and first gen legacy.

I'm posting what I replied to your pm, so others will have the info as well. I've got a parts book for the first gen legacies 90-94. There are a fair amount of options/trim levels between the different models. Despite this, they utilize the same transmission, hence the same transmission model code. I'd rather not scan all that information in. If you are looking for a replacement transmission with the same final drive ratio, you'd want one from a 91 AT turbo, 92-94 AT turbo, or 92-94 AT n/a. 91 Turbo AT TZ102ZJ1AA 92-94 normally aspirated AT TZ102ZA2AA 92 Turbo AT TZ102ZJ2AA 93-94 Turbo AT TZ102ZJ3AA The above codes are the different transmission models that will have the same final drive ratio, 3.90

I rebuilt an ej22t motor and swapped it into my car. I finished everything up this past weekend http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/ej22t The subaru oil coolers are pretty straight forward to install. I believe I have some pictures in there. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/ej22t/20/ The cooler attaches to where the oil filter goes, there's a longer tube that screws into the block, and the coolant comes off the block through a fitting that replaces a block plug. Take a look at the pics.

The rotors are 260mm in diameter. Those are for the non-turbos.The oil cooler I put on is a stock subaru oil filter, and can be found on the foresters and a few other cars. I've actually got a n/a oil cooler I thought would work with the turbo setup, but it won't clear the cross pipe. If your idle air control valve is similar to the US ones, there should only be one gasket.

Design Flaw
Legacy777 replied to Roamer's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
It's all about cost....money drives a lot of things in design. As an engineer we want to put everything in we can to make it the best, but the bean counters pull things to make them more affordable or improve manufacturing time, etc etc.
