rorannerusan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi does anyone know the the correct firing order for a subaru loyale ea85 engine and can someone tell me the correct firing order for the distributor cap? I have a chance to pick up a subaru loyale wagon. I do not know what year. Also what could cause the engine to back fire and not start? I am hoping it is simple.

subiefan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 You have an ea82. Try posting this on the "Old Gen" forum. As always, mileage, year, and model will help everyone to better answer your question. Not trying to offend you. Just a friendly reminder. Oh... And welcome to the Board.

rorannerusan Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanx for replying. I do not know the year or the mileage. all I know is it is a 90's model subaru loyale wagon. Thanx Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 the firing order is 1-3-2-4, the passenger side is the 1-3 side, and the drivers side is the 2-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiefan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 So I take it you're trying to pick up a non-running car for cheap and fix. My best guess would be that the timing is waaaaay off. Maybe someone messed up the t-belts. I don't know much about ea82's though. Like I said, post this on the "Older Generation of Subarus" forum (link below). The experts on your car are over there. They should be able to help. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Can also be a jumped timing belt. Not to many things to make this happen. How does the car sound when it cranks. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
