1990 Subaru Loyale EA82 Engine
DaveT replied to bkoch253's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sounds like more than 1 problem. Electrical stuff: Weak battery. Failing alternator. Bad connections. Running poorly stuff: Coolant Temperature Sensor. Idie Air Control valve. -
It's tough.... my solution to allow me to drive and afford 30 year old daily drivers is to have 2 of them. Do all the work myself. Most of the tine, when one is down with areal problem, I have the other one. Only catch is if I slack off and end up with 2 projects simultaneously. Came close once.

Bad idea to drive it like that.

Staring from cold. Open cap. Fill. Start engine. Level may change. Rev engine a few times. It may draw in some coolant or push out some air. Top off. When the thermostat opens, it may cause some to overflow. It is not normal for it to push out lots of air or coolant during all of this. Opening when hot may cause a gyser effect, if some coolant boils in the block. More chance of this if you are at high altitudes.

The big nut was probably loose. That lets the spline get torn up.

LOYALE Engine Codes 24 and 34: Air Control, EGR
DaveT replied to Ocarand's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The CEL on and off is completely normal for the open coil failure. Almost every oem solenoid I have had has failed. I've been running ea82 cars since 1988. My same Toyota solenoids get moved from car to car, since about 1990. I'm in CT it is nowhere near as hot all the time here. -

I've never had one intermittently open. It's just seemingly random when the ecu decides to check it, and then take the action to report it. The solenoid is only activated under certain circumstances. -

That on and off is typical of the coil open failure of the egr solenoid. Robm is the member who knows about the one from India. I have a web page for the Toyota solenoid mod. It doesn't hurt to check grounds, you want those in good condition also. Clean them and apply anti seize compound.
