  2. Yup, I plan on going to have a conversation with a guy here i have known for some time today, i still would like to do the work myself though, im not used to anyone touching my cars but me. I hope i can get to the bottom of this issue so i can finally enjoy the car without being paranoid every time i snap the throttle down...thanks much again guys.
  3. Thanks guys, The last plate i ordered from subaru myself for those wonderful "mechanics" to put in, as to wether or not thay did or not is a different issue, this time its going to be at my hand, as for the std trans, this is most certianly going to happen at some point, i dont have the funds for the kit nor a complete car to strip as of yet so shes going to get her last plate for now, im picking up a smashed (drivers side door) svx in a couple of weeks guys so im prob going to sell stuff from it, just giving heads up ahead of time. As for mods, shy of the under drive pully and an k&n in box (baffel removed), nothing else at this point.
  4. I bought the car in baltimore I live in new haven CT<since i knew the tranny was bad buyin it on ebay i had aamco pick it up, rebuild it there so i can drive her back, turns out the pinion gear was pushed away from the ring gear after there was a set of teeh that broke off and cracked the diff housing, so not only did i pay for the rebuild but the case and diff/ring/and pinion (dont even ask about cost, the body likes to forget pain), and of course i knew of the known tranny issues with them prior, so im thinking that its just the normal rebuild. I went to school for automotive, but hated the automatic trannys, not my line of great exposure, so im not familiar to what to look for into this, im going to pull the engine (easier from top than bottom) to get to all this, that tranny is damn huge, if i had my way ( $ ) she would be changed to stick if i could, that would make her perfect. No tranny mount nor engine mount issues from the time i bought her (2 summers ago), and the torgue converter was replaced twice, once from the begining, then "supposedly" the 2nd flex went and the screws were stripped from the first aamco in baltimore so the one here replaced it again.
  5. Hay guys, I have the 92 svx, I have been going thru flex plates since the aamco transmissions first rebuilt the trans (they suck by the way) I'm going on my 3rd now, this last one came from subaru (so i was told), it seems its been cracking on my snatching on the car, it takes a bit of time but non the less....Is there something i dont know about this issue, is it common by any means, im going to replace this one my self, any input on this issue? When it starts, i hear the damn thing hitting the bell housing on full throttle and as time goes on, it gets worse and requires less to start, the 1st one went all together with and left me on the highway. Can they be reinforced? OH! im also leaking gear oil as well<not sure if its from the input shaft though,im suspect considering the issue at hand.
  6. Do you guys know of it being done and what is envolved with it, both standard and AWD.Im considering it after redoing the motor in the wagon (GL10) and finding out there is piston slap to one of the cylinders, never heard the motor run i used the blovk from,and i cant seem to get the turbo boosted, nothin ive done works....new route needed, stress.
  7. I have Had my 92 SVX up too 150 twice, during 2 races on 91, the first was racing a supped up GTI jetta, and the other was 3 motorcycles who promted me first, not only were they surprised (then asking what kind of car- always too follow by many) but they never got in front of me, dipping at 150 across 3 and 4 lanes is not easy i guess for 2 wheelers!
  8. Shes a 92, odd thing is it comes in and out, ill start it and if its on it will be on till it decides not to, no rime or reason, then off and will be off till when ever, sometimes it will suddenly come back while driveing, the clock goes out when the controls are out as well, What component is shared involving power between the 2 that would cause this issue? all fuses are ok and the 2 relays near the blower are not power controling to the dash (just controls the blower its self), I dont have a wireing schematic for the controls (chilton book sucks).
  9. Not likely, This would not fit your have a boost of power all of a sudden, if that were the case, you would never get it at all....
  10. I thank you guys for your help, if I get any more stress from it, ill post a cry for help before i put my head into the fender well to hide....
  11. you know thats funny you are the first person to give me a response, my calling subaru to talk to my guys there didnt know, both are leading techs there and thought i was reading it wrong (so offended as I was knowing im NOT insane, i used my treo 650 to video record it !:cool:, the injector was cycling along with the fuel pump, it seems the "new" computer was the fix for at least that, waiting to see its behavior on shutting down, has not done it yet, thanks on the "5" ?
  12. I have an MPFI the SPFI is an ongoing isse i have with a friends car, no codes (except for a 5, which seems to be a ghost code no one knows about) replaced fuel pump, and injector, fuel is coming from the throttle body, and computer replaced today but i dont like how she started up, I have noticed the tach jumping on an intermittant basis, im focusing there, but confused as to why no code (and yes the "5" was being issued on both computers) if there was at any point, a disruption in the signal from the sensor.
  13. is it possible to use one from a MPFI to the SPFI?
  14. Is it possible for a distributer (on its way out...jumping tach) to cause a shut off and no start intermittant issue?
  15. Thanks guys Im working on both things now, much appreciated, I have a ? about the "5th injector" i keep seeing on guys cars, how do you control that signal, when the computers output is set for a set of 4 injectors?
