Subaru_Mechanic Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 ok for all you joker guys. i took off my cat. and that was the problem. clogged like no other. so im not stupid, i was looking for more advise. and the carb.. its was sparkling clean, there was a set of pumps and the first ones mounting brackets were worn out, the pump affects the idle it had ajustment lines on it. thats fixed. and now i gotta drop the trans. clean the crap out of it and replace the throw out bering. so guys quit calling me young n dumb. after this is fixed i have to do front axels. i might need some actual help there. altho its self explanitory i dont wanna mess up. (ive only serviced toyotas, they are a little different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 1 the bogging sounds like a carb issue to me, could be running rich 2 i don't think the gen 1 brats had an ERG setup....i know they didn't here(NZ) 3 what do you mean by a "winding" sound?...if it was a WIRRRRing sound id say that you throw out bearing is ill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_Mechanic Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 no egr valve. ok good. (i read that could be one boging problem) and the sound that happens when i push in the clutch is kinda like a gear winding. its a black canister with two brake fluid bulbs on top. i beleive it is the vaccume housing.

Dr. RX Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think you might want to change your board name, doesn't sound like it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 1. when i floor it, it bogs then it revs up. is it my exaust? I think you carb needs some tlc.I would recomend checking the accelerator pump and completely go through the carb and replace the needle and seat as well as all of the gaskets and O-rings.Souns like it may have been sitting for a while and needs a little going over.

Caboobaroo Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I agree with Jerry on the accelerator pump going bad. Also, EGR is located on the manifold behind the carb. Has a steel tube that runs from the back of the passenger side head, going into it. Take it off, be careful that you don't damage the gasket, clean out the intake where it bolts to and the EGR valve itself. Put it together and it should help a bit.

ezapar Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think you might want to change your board name, doesn't sound like it fits. We all had to learn somewhere Corky. Dr. RX could be argue'd about you too. Hint: Spark plugs in a certain RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Sounds to me like you need to find a Subaru Mechanic. The EGR valve is mounted to the intake manifold... on the backside, its big, you cant miss it. That whining sound is most likely your throwout bearing, and if its to the point where your car starts to stall... then its a real bad throwout bearing. And the bogging issue sounds like a vacuum leak. Im sure, since your a mechanic and all, that you know how to pinpoint vacuum leaks. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think you might want to change your board name, doesn't sound like it fits. hahaahaahahahaa... thats mean... i think its normal for a poorly adjusted carb to bogg when you floor it.. its because of the secondary(onlyone!) that dumps a serious amount of fuel all of the sudden into the engine! kinda like smothering than feeding for a split second... or is this more lengthy?

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Its more like the secondary jet not being primed, and when the secondary opens... instead of fuel/air all you get is air. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Its more like the secondary jet not being primed, and when the secondary opens... instead of fuel/air all you get is air. -Brian Exactly - the accelerator pump is there to smooth the transistion from primary to secondary. If it's not working, you bog down, then accelerate rapidly as the secondary finally kicks fuel in. Some EA71's had EGR, and some did not. If it does, it would be in the back of the manifold as previously sugested - right behind the carb. They don't usually fail, and when they do they almost always fail closed (so you won't notice the failure). Whining noise could be the clutch throwout bearing. It may have actually seized, and thus the tendancy to stall. If this is not remedied, the siezed (or soon to be siezed) bearing will wear right through the pressure plate fingers, and you will lose the use of the clutch, and have a nasty, rather expensive repair on your hands.

Subaru_Mechanic Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 so how do i know if the EGR failed? and now the carb is actin poppy or spitterin n sputterin. im guessin it needs to be cleaned. im thinkin about takin it in and putin it on the dyno for some hi-perfomance tuning. i found out that the floo pans were some what rusted out, so i fiber-glassed the crap outta them, i also pulled of my exhaust and replaced the rotten pipes now i just gotta get the front right CV axel set up, and replace the throw out bearing. any one know a cheap way on going about these tasks:headbang: ?

beataru Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ehhh throwout bearing.. i dont think itll be expensive but... time consuming.... unless youve done it before, (manytimes) i know ive done it once, it can take a while.. shouldnt be too expensive though i mean come on.. these are subies...

calebz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 do you think ill be able to drop the tranny with out pulling the engine? and pull the Bearing off:confused: ? Pulling the motor is easier than dropping the tranny. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_Mechanic Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Pulling the motor is easier than dropping the tranny. IMO ok whatever it takes. so how long should this take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ok whatever it takes. so how long should this take? An hour maybe 2 depending on if you have done it before.Light enough to lift it out yourself or have a friend help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_Mechanic Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 sweet. ill lift it out with a chain and pulley. then replace that damed bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
