I need enlightened " The computer can read if the solenoids are opening, closing, or are stuck" In this particular case where an evap or purge solenoid is stuck. Do you mean electricly open as in windings open? Closed as in not passing gas?? How does the ECU know the vacuum is not being tranfered? Is there a vacuum switch in the circuit that I have not seen? Does it use the Baro-MAP sensor? Is this associated with the old gas cap loose check engine light? Thanks in advance for the reply as.. Enquiring minds want to know.

After you replace the rad. Best this you can do for MO POWR after the IC and boost control is a high flow cat and.... Dad will not even know you modded it until you start it up??

I think he plays with his dip stick too much

Please excuse this repost but I think it fits the subject title in response to a bgd73 post someone?? said the following.......... We in the area of this planet dubbed the northern hemisphere where in northern vs some other context southern meaning not a lot in reference to Greek mythology may have a link to the standing God protecting the straights of Gibraltar whom the Phoenicians worshiping the combination of the light reflecting ambiance of green and azure created a semblance coherent that would ultimately yield a pressure here to now known as Coriolis. Egos in adjunct to the vector forces imposed by the laminar flow over an object moving through a fluid which will result in such a happening. I personally have witnessed this phenomena on many instances while piloting my steadfast 87 Gl/starship. The solution has been here to with compared with equal results. I'd like to add it to his Ebay write up.

I have a simple question. how crediible is a mechanic that says "he has baja with 6 cyl" ?? I'd get another opinion. TC are expensive and the labor is equal to or exceeds this cost. This sounds more like a DOJ problem than a CV.

At the time these cars were manufacted(sic) there was a TSB* about this on the cars with the digiacrash(sic) dashes describing this problem. (*Technical Service Bulletin) I had an 87 GL-10 that would do this. The ground for the dash el. components wanted cleaned and tightened. You will find this ground under the passenger side front intake manifold bolt. Gloyal said it best - there is no valve on the heater core just a "blend door" to adjust the heat into the cabin. You no doubt turned the fan on thinking it would help. The other loss of voltage to the dash comes from the fuse box under the dash. The power wire coming from the fusible links to the main feed on the back of the fuse box has trouble. DO AS Nipper says - get the NEW rad - not some hooky flush/backyard "think it's good"--> unless you like pulling engine and doing head gaskets??? If this still bothers you get a real gauge installed. Hope this helps.

also the rear disc conversion comes in highly reccomended with that kind of weight.

Congrats on the trip/buy back and story. My man, you were born a BRAT!! Very well done.

Re: Do I fix the HG or swap the engine my mistake, I see by his subject he does question this. To me it did not appear as to a question of swap or fix, untill I reread the subject. I will delete my post as it does not truly pertain to the subject.

"vacuum driven bits and bobs is definatley intriguing...." Having the pleasure??? of working on some late eighties Honda's The magic black box on the bulkhead had some serious framous-dingles inside and about thirty (30) vacuum lines to it. There should be a thermo-switch in the aircleaner to control the "furnace". It was reported that the carb jets are tuned to provide the proper mix when the air temp going in is 100 deg F. As we know, air density (02 content) is a function of temp.

as Miles says, plug and play. Your donner has everything you'll need. Keep the Outback ECU. You need the head pipe and the flex plate. (i.e. one will be a twin port exhaust the other a single, remove the flywheel and instal the flex plate) There maybe some EGR issues depending on the 2.2 series. The purge cannister plumbing may be a bit different. Swap some mounts (PS and AC) -> good to go. There are many many posts on this with complete detailed sections. Good luck, my swap was a piece of cake but I started with a 95 2.2L

Good on ya Biglittledog. Some people ?? Keep shopping yours will come along. Real glad you resisted the temptation. Maybe in a month or so she'll relent.

After the belts are on then making sure the # 1 cyl is on compresion (look for both valves closed, or use the cotton ball over the spark plug hole trick- crank the engine over till the ball pops out), turn the flywheel so the mark is at zero degrees. Point the rotor in the dist. at number one spark plug wire tower. That should be close enough for you to get it to start. You must connect the green connectors under the dash to set the timing properly with a timing light after you have it running. Hope this helps

Bret The large sender unit form an EA81 may not fit where the factory unit is Sorry, I do not know of another port.

Thanks Jamal, I have a miniture NGK sparking plug on mine but your's has a function.

Congrats Tommy!! she is one 'ell of a catch!! Best of all to the both of yins.

by chance is this the same wheel you had the lug nuts come loose on before? I ask because there is a possibility the holes are now ellipsed. This allowed movement that loosen the lugs and or wore thru the studs causing them to shear.

Don't buy the rims just yet ;^) and a little wing funny I was going to add one in the photochop. For the hood, a real easy way is to add a small bra (no panties) like my Imp has/had. about 35 USD

keep in mind the tranny cooler in the rad is designed for the return pressure from the tranny. This amounts to about 10~15 psi Things could get ugly fast if it ruptured, plus you would not know about untill????

Biglittledog, Please edit or correct this post The subject says 97 thread says 99?? May make a difference in price ? Only an example: I bought my 97 OB with a bad idler pulley and such for 500 USD

Jamal, thanks for the excellent link of links!! BTW - where did you get that way kewl con rod on your keychain?

dial 1-(800) OKCONNIE!!!! Congrats gal, you deserve a ride like her.

Welcome to the USMB -- Dude sounds like the CTS (FI Coolant Temp Sensor) is toast also sounds like the IAC (Idle Air Control valve) needs cleaned. There will be many posts found on both these subjects. The mushy feeling may be low tire pressure??

As Dave T and I pointed out in your last thread on this subject You are running a risk of a pretty nasty situation. The seal goes out due to other problems, these problems would need corrected in the rehaul (rehaul - combo --> re-build...over-haul) As Dave T said following my lwarning of diff lock up. "The pinion was moving forward into the diff carrier. Applying engine power causes the gears to "screw apart" from each other, engine breaking causes the pinion to "screw into" the carrier" Good luck, I have provided all I can to this situation. Your decision to continue driving this problem is yours. Therefore I am unsubcribing from this post. Please ware your seatbelt at all times. It's a jungle out there. It's tuff eating crow with no front teeth.
