SubaRuthless Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 just bought an 87 gl wagon, has 220k miles,one of the quietest subies ive ever heard, although I have to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor in order to start sometimes and it also takes forever to get up to speed. I know somebody knows whats up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 is it carbed? I say take off the air cleaner, and unload like 3 cans of carb cleaner down that bad boy! Then see if you can get the exhaust to flow free-er, and check the ignition timing to make sure its not retarded, and make sure there are no vaccuum leaks. Thats what I started with, but I just couldn't leave well enough alone... Anyways, yeah, thats what i would do -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virrdog Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I ran into the timing problem. Only 2 degrees of advance makes the car slow.... Set it to the highest specified value in the owners manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
