hooziewhatsit Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 yep, that stuff should work just fine. To clean it, just open the air box and look down the tube towards the intake. There will be a small opening to the side of the big hole. The wires you want to clean are in there. No need to actually take the MAF off the intake box/tube. And yes, those connectors near the wiper should be unhooked normally. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/USRM2/mick-usrm/electrical/ecucodes.html -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobcob Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 yeah, they had that for $4.99 or the proper MAF cleaner for $7.99... the MAF cleaner can weighed less and cost more so I got the cheaper stuff... had a brain fart earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooziewhatsit Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 my 85 rx has the flapper door type. do I remove it to clean or on the car? The flapper door MAF is a different style completely, and does not have the hot wires this thread is talking about cleaning. I'm not even sure if the flapper door has any way/need to be cleaned. The Loyale: if the light started flashing after a few minutes, that means it found no codes (yay!). -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah that's what i kinda figured after driving it around for a while!!! I'kl just glade there was no problem!! And you should have seen how great it passed emission's:lol: I was so happy it passed the firest time! Now i don't think i'll have any truble anytime soon! OK about my MAF i took the top of the air box off so i could see inside, Then i took the air intake hose off so there was only the airbox and MAF!! I looked inside the top of the air box and i saw a little hole and i looked in there and there are some little wire thing's! They look like somethng for a light bulb! Is that the right part to squrt the cleaner in? I hope so because i did that last night around 5:30pm.. And after in all evaperated i put it all but together and fired it up! It ran a little strange for a minute or so but then she ran good! UI can't tell if it's better then before, But everything helps right! So it's cool!!

Because mine says 3.900 gear Ratio! And that's it i think!! Did you know before i cleaned all the gooey stuff off my rear diff i dident know there was a sticker and i dident know it was aliuminm!! Now the Aluminum stick's out and really show's off the rear end!! Cool!!! PS: The bolt head's are still copper looking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 It would have the letters LSD on there with the ratio. For a 3.9 to have an lsd it would either have to be converted, or from an xt6 that had the option, or from a turbo legacy and the t-leg is a vlsd.

TheLoyale Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I know's it's the stock diff so it's probely not LSD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wipe my hands if he frys something ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 As long as you remove the sensor from the car, and don't put it back on until the cleaner has evaporated then you have nothing to worry about. Then again, I've used carb cleaner in efi cars before and never hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yeah to me if it all evaporated he should be good to go!! Dident have any problem with the Roo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
