87sooby Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I just replaced the cap rotor plugs and wires for my 87 GL wagon. But now it runs like it might be misfiring. Does anyone have a firing order diagram for this engine (1.8 carburrated)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well... First of All: Welcome! I think this is the Correct Firin´ Order on a EA82 Engine, that is the One in your 1.8 L Carbureted 1987 Subie: Where 1 & 3 are Left side (Driver´s) and 2 & 4 are Right Side (Passenger´s) To Keep Runnin´ Your Subie, Check that and the Good Condition of the Carb... but if it was good before changin´ the Spark Plugs, maybe you aren´t usin´ the Correct Ones. Remember: Spark Plugs for Subies, Shall have the letter "R" in them, that means that the Spark Plug got Resistor. I Use NGK BPR6... ( And others Sometimes ) but those are Cheap and Very Very Good. Well... Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sooby Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks for the help. It worked and I am back on the road. I am wondering what i should gap the plugs to? I gapped them to .040. is that too little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, I´m soo happy cos your Subie is Runnin´ Again. About the Gap, the Basics are: Using a More Powerfull Coil... (The Stock gives around 27,000 Volts Out, I Use an Accel SuperStock, that Gives 45,000 Volts Out) ...you can open wide a li´l bit more the Gap Settings, along of Using a more Advanced Timin´ without problems, that makes your subie a li´l more Faster and the engine will not emit noises with regular Gas. I use my EA82 at 25º timing and only with Regular Gas... Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd45 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I run my plugs at .055", and finally got the mileage up to 24 MPG. I have not heard of anyone running 25 degrees of timing before, what mileage do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
