Is the firing order different from a turbo to a standard n/a? I'm trying to put it togethor tonight with Austin and I... (also Patti)

Thanks in advance.

My 1984 FSM says the same firing order for all models 1-3-2-4.

nope, should be the same.

Cool thanks... Now to figure whats wrong with it... Why it won't start.:boohoo:

if you can rotate the crank by hand, try to get Cyl#1 at TDC... then look at the disty, and make sure the rotor is pointing at Cyl #1. That will let you know if the disty is correct.

 

have you verified to make sure your getting a strong spark at the plugs?

I will try that tomorrow, if my cold doesn't get much worse.

I'd be willing to bet that all 4cyl Subarus (boxers) have the same firing order. I worked it out one time, and there are only two physically possible firing orders for a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder engine:

1-3-2-4 and its reverse 1-4-2-3.

 

Anything else would require all of the pistons to move the same direction at the same time, and that would NOT make for a very smooth engine!!

it would be like a harley, dual exhaust

POTATO POTATO it will sound like when it runs
