March 28, 201313 yr Author And the rest of that nonsense is for emissions, which I may need to get the rest of that stuff. Not sure yet how the smog nazis are going to treat this one.
March 28, 201313 yr And the rest of that nonsense is for emissions, which I may need to get the rest of that stuff. Not sure yet how the smog nazis are going to treat this one. I would assume since your wagon was not OBD-II originally, they would look for a CEL and do the tail pipe sniffer, and if it passed it wouldn't matter. However it is California and after hearing the nightmare that my brother had getting his Audi Coupe Quattro to pass smog I would only own an old car in CA... Good Luck! I am keeping an eye on this fuel temp and tank pressure issue as well, I would also like to have the check engine light off.
March 28, 201313 yr I think there is a need for fuel tank temp functionality. It effects cold starts, somehow. I'm not sure exactly how because it's hard to test. We'll keep plugging away at it...
March 29, 201313 yr Author Received reverse switch and electric speedo sensor today. I still need the intermediate cord between speedo sensor and harness.

I am keeping an eye on this fuel temp and tank pressure issue as well, I would also like to have the check engine light off. This I'd what I'm hoping for. I would like to just bring it in and smog it like it was an 87. Just hope the guy dont know its now obd 2.
April 4, 201312 yr Author Fuel temp is hooked up and no more code. The blue/black wire was correct. Now im trying to figure out the low idle. I set the tps at .5v. Gonna put in another iacv and see what happens. I also have a slight hesitation that I'm hoping is fuel filter.
April 5, 201312 yr Author Put the original iacv back in, cleaned and now she's running proper. Cruised around a little with the a/c blasting and she never missed a beat. I will wire headlights today and try then out tonight!
April 8, 201312 yr Author I had a pretty busy weekend, started on the winch bumper, wired the headlights and dropped the new motor into my brothers Forester. The GL has almost 500 miles on her now. I still have one reoccurring code for an o2 sensor. Its nice to cruise in traffic at 70/75 mph with A full car. Still has a few quirks but its getting there. Struts/shocks need to be addressed asap.

April 11, 201312 yr Author With the added weight of the winch the front end came down 3/16". The bumper itself weighs 30lbs.
April 12, 201312 yr Author Finally got the 02 wrx seats in. Took a bit of work but way more comfortable.
April 12, 201312 yr Author What's with the gangsta lean? Looks good! The little factory trim piece under the grill has a slight radius and is also bowed. It stumped me for a bit to figure out what looked a little funny. It makes the top bar look different at different angles.
