  1. There definitely should at least be lines running into the radiator for cooling. Maybe they're on the other side. I'm sort of at a lost....
  2. You may want to ask on nasioc. There may be someone in the texas forum that might want to swap http://forums.nasioc.com/forums
  3. The canister purge solenoid is about $75-$85 USD or something like that IAC valve is like $300 USD, so if you do replace that, I'd probably suggest getting it used.
  4. It's not easy to change from AT to MT. Check out my write-up and the pictures. That should help give you an idea on what's involved. The tranny filter is held on by a clamp. Once you get the lines off the filter, it should come out.
  5. yes there is a hose that goes to the throttle body from the canister purge solenoid. Not sure if that would be your only problem, but it might be a contributing factor to it.
  6. hmmm......well the canister purge valve should be independent of the IAC valve. I'd suggest replacing one item at a time. I'd probably do the canister purge valve since it's cheaper then the IAC valve, and they do tend to go bad.
  7. going to have to get the from the dealer more then likely You may be better off just looking at another transmission to buy. Unless you're doing the labor yourself....
  8. nope....won't work....95 the computers went OBD2.....95 actually is different from 96 even.....
  9. The idle air control valve adjusts the idle and everything. The canister purge valve just deals with emissions, and to be honest, that's what it sounds like the CEL issue is. Mine went a while ago, and the light would stay on...go off.... What I'd suggest is clearing the codes...driving the car again, and if/when the CEL comes on again, check the codes and see what's there.
  10. You may want to check the TPS. The idle switch is built into the TPS. This procedure tells how to set/test the idle switch http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing3.jpg If you test it and it tests ok, or if you readjust it, and the CEL doesn't go away, you may need a new TPS.
  11. Take the belt off the ps pump and turn the pulley by hand. If it doesn't turn smoothly, it's possible there is some bearing damage and replacing the fluid may or may not prolong its life. I had one that was making noise. I replaced the fluid, and was quiet for a little while, but started making noise again, so I just replaced it. It wouldn't turn freely at all. It was toast.
  12. ahh ok, I see where it says combo light. Yeah it's just a side marker.
  13. They are not that rare. All the numbers floating around the net are grossly incorrect. If it's in decent shape, it'd be worth looking into. If it's a POS....just keep looking. BTW, the turbo legacies were only offered for 1991-1994 MY's.
  14. I'd suggest trying to find a used one. You should be able to pick up a used one for around 100-200 bucks. I'd try these guys http://www.4subarusuzukikiaparts.com/ http://www.superrupair.com/ http://www.boxer4racing.com/ http://car-part.com/
  15. Sounds like you have the cable adjusted ok. I'd probably recommend just getting an OEM clutch/pp, etc. Or look into an Exedy unit. They make subaru's OEM clutches.
  16. Excess wear on the outside of the tires is usually caused by an improper alignment, specifically, too much positive camber. I'd suggest getting a 4-wheel alignment done at a good alignment place. Should cost you around 60-70 USD.
  17. They can be rebuilt, however unless you have a place that knows ac stuff and deals with rebuilding compressors on a regular basis, you're better off just getting another compressor. You can try and get a used compressor, and then when the current dies, just put the used one in. Flush the system, replace the receiver/dryer, add oil, pull a vaccum, and recharge the system.
  18. Try the ECU reset and see what happens. I probably wouldn't mess with the TPS. You have the newer style 3-wire TPS, and there's really nothing you can adjust in them.
  19. Thanks! I appreciate it Here's some more from that batch of photos if you want to take a look http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/legacyzymol/ Here's the latest ones I took after my tranny swap project. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/legswap/20/
  20. On the 1990-1991 MY's US & Canada models, the markers on the side next to the headlamps do not blink. They're not supposed to. Only the orange blinkers under the bumper. Can you tell me where you saw in the manual that they were referred to as combo lights?
