Just bought my first Subaru, Has some issues I need to address before it is road ready...... It is a 2bbl 1.8 Japan built wagon has rust issues around windshield, no seat belts in the driver or pass. seat, gas pedal sticks all the way down when pushed it stays down until you pull it back up... Spray wd30 on spring under dash and played with the accel cable and where the throttle bracket is on the carb it works fine... It started to come back up some now after I played with it for a while but it gets stuck frequently... Any ideas Subaru nation?? Anyone have seat belts laying around anywhere they dont need??

Congrats on the subaru sorry cant help ya with parts, but ask around or look in the stuff for sale section, maybe your throttle cable is Sticky, but you should post that in a new thread to get input from the awesome people on the board:banana: welcome to USMB!

+1 on welcome to USMB You will find lots of helpful advice if you know exactly where to look on this amazing place

 

As for what I can say about your issue. Replace the accelerator cable and the clutch cable with OEM parts. Might as well take it apart and make sure things are functioning correctly, if not, get them replaced. But you need to make sure the parts arent cheap knock-offs...

 

Post in the older generation section and youll get lots of replies. Do some searching for these situations though, as someone may have the parts or know what to do.

 

Again, Welcome. Where in Oregon are you?
