lil9er Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 1. My 93 Loyale has a factory option tape player and I am intsalling a Jensen MP3 player, will the tape player plug into the cd player and work? They both have the same plug. 2. Does anyone have the wiring diagram to the radio? I know they make a plug but I like to do things the hard way. 3. The ea82 engine has a dead miss in #1 cylinder at an idle that seems to go away with higher rpms. Is it possible to blow a head gasket without going into the cooling system? There looks like oil leaking around where the head meets the block. Thanks for any answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I can't anser your engine truble but i do have the Chilton's Radio diogram in a book! I can see if i can scan it into the computer and post it on here!! So give me a few hours ok!! Later bro, Tom............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 1. I would guess that the plug will work fine though I can't say that for sure. I am assuming there is a standard pinout for the plug so it should match. 2. If you still have the orignial radio plug in place I strongly suggest you get the adapter harness to adapt your new player. It makes the install much better and easier and is money well spent. 3. To fix the engine miss problem try replacing the plugwire first. Then the plug also, if that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82glsw Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Most likely the factory tape player will not work with the aftermarket mp3 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Damm! I'm really sorry, But i can't find the page with the radio diogram:confused: And about you Engine miss yeah try new Plug wires and plugs.. And if it's not that, Then it has to be a low compression issue? I'd think! But it's probely nothing like that at all! It's a Subaru man! Plug wire or plugs, It's gotta be!!

thealleyboy Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Back to your stereo question... Don't assume everything will "plug and play". Scrap any add-on stuff and utilize your OEM wiring whenever possible. It is more reliable than anything installed after the fact, and OEM is always fused correctly. If the connector (harness side) is still intact, you can rig an "adapter" using the mating OEM connector on one end, and the aftermarket radio connector on the other. Using this method, you'll be able to tap into all your OEM wiring except rear speaks. You'll have to run either a dedicated +/- pair, or a single ground from the new stereo to the rear speak connectors (located under the carpeting near the rear doors). If you want to run an amp, you can run your dedicated speaker wires to the amp, and simply use your OEM speaker wires in reverse. PM if you need more details, the OEM pin-out, etc... good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 have you checked the Disty yet??? whats goin on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil9er Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Sorry been out for a few days. Cap, rotor and plugs have been changed. If I remove the oil filler cap air puffs out with the miss, but it seems to smooth out with rpm's. There is oil leaking all around the head it looks like.

beataru Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 air will puff out of that if you have it open while the engine is running, but if you have oil leaking from the head it sounds like a headgasket but, why would it smoth out at higher RPMs?

john in KY Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 That single cylinder miss only at low rpms is probably an intake manifold leak. Check that small vacuum line close to #1 cylinder. If cracked or disconnected it will cause what you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Once again its time to use our friend Brake cleaner, spray your engine while it is running on anything that sucks vaccum in, or has vaccum running through it, if your engine revs slightly then you have found a leak (of most likely many) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
