soopsoop Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 a lady friend recieved a 1990 loyale wagon for free the other day the p.o, lost her licence due to old age and no insurace. the car has new drive lines,new clutch,and a tune up and it is throttle body fuel injection but it hadn't run in two years. someone else tried to fix it and the battery drain problem by taking out the last fusable link,i think it was the black one closest to the firewall and put a switch in,stupid and dangerous. i put a fusable link of the right size back in and eliminated the switch and just replaced the ignition switch. i then tried to start the car and it wouldn't crank over,no power to the solinoid, so i ran a new wire to the solinoid(14 gauge) and clipped the black with the red tracer to the ign switch and spliced it in and low and behold it cranks right over and fires right up and the lady is happy. i even hooked the ac belt back up but i think it needs freon so i will have to update the ac to 134a later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnsubaru Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 the car still runs good but her daughter bought her a new chrysler mini van and the exhaust makes noise on the subaru so i am going to ask if she wants to sell it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnsubaru Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 she lets the Subaru just sit there and every now and then starts it up but she doesn't move it. what a waste. she is thinking of selling it but she wants 1000 bucks for it all it needs is a muffler and freon. but it is an older model and am not sure if it is worth 1000 bucks. i will keep on trying to charm her but she wants it for a backup for her new van.

subpoop Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 someone from her church fixed the exhaust leak and a/c and she drives it more than the mini van. the mini van keeps breaking down and she won't let me work on it because i won't join her church and i am not certified. but i am certifiable. just not a mormon.
