When i start the car cold, it sometimes runs very rough and the rpm start to descend and finally it stalls and it shows a CEL light. I checked the code and it was a Error code.24, which is the air control valve. Is it the same as the idle air control valve or is there a another air control valve on the engine that i don´t know about? The car is ´91 Legacy 2,2.

What size
Eikari replied to Eikari's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
Yes, 19 mm is the right size. Don´t know how much wear was on the old PCV valve but i doubt it has been replaced before. In what areas of engine does the PCV affect the engine. In what areas should i see improvement, better mileage, less fuel consumption? -
The steering wheel on my ´91 Legacy is very worn out. I can twist the rubber on the wheel and i´m not comfortable with that, want to have it stiff! Do steering wheels on newer gen. of Legacys and even Imprezas fit on my car or are they different? And also, do i need special tools to get the wheel off?

Waterpump

I also have one bad rear wheel bearing and am going to replace it soon. Should i just change both wheel bearing or do they wear differently out? -
Waterpump

Yes i changed the timing belt recently but didn´t think about the other subsystems, such as the oil and waterpump:-\. What about changing the fuel filter, OEM or Japanparts? -
Thinking about changing the waterpump as a preventive maintance. Is the OEM WP the only one you trust to use. I was wandering about buying a WP from Japanparts as i assume it´s cheaper. And also what seals should i replace on the engine. Is it the camseals, crankshaft, oilpump 0-ring, valve covers. What am i forgetting?

I once owned a Subaru 1800 and one day the started to tick horribly! This classic Subaru symptom is because dirt gets into hydraulic lifters and the HL therefor can´t refill themselves. So the solution is and it WORKS! Change the oil in your car and add one liter of ATF with the motor( if the oil capacity is 4 l , use 3 l MO and 1 l ATF , don´t overfill the engine!) Then let the engine run for some time and maybe drive 20-30 KM. Then change the oil and filter . Try using 10W-30 oil. This worked for me and hopefully for you.

Brake problem
Eikari replied to Eikari's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
The rotors are relativly new . If i step on the brakes with normal pressure they squeel. But if i step hard on the brakes the squeel stops. Could anyone show a pic of how the "Shims" look like? -
What is Subaru´s marketshare in U.S?
