It would be a better install if it did. The guy I got my BRAT off of ran the fog lights through the fuse box and wrapped the wire around a fuse. It would make things less dangerous if your alternator ever surged like my hatch's did. I ran my CB to the fuse box and alternator surged it caught the wiring on fire and gave me first degree burns on hand, not a good way to spend a day off from school.

I just had a similar instance of bad MAF on my 91 Legacy. The car would run fine at idle and when you would start driving it would run like garbage. I also found that tapping on it with a screwdriver handle gently affected the quality of my idle. I gave an all Subaru junkyard here in TN a call and found one for $75, right part numbers and everything. It is located upstream from where you change out your air filter, will have an electrical plug running to it. Yours might even say "flow" on it and pointing in the direction of intake pipe that runs to the manifold.

When was the last time the filters were replaced? -

Granted they are completely different; I had an issue similar to that with my first gen legacy. Turned out to be a bad MAF. Is your ECS light on? -

The EA81's are a single piece drive-shaft FYI. I thought the EA82's made use of a carrier bearing... -

I hope he buys the car now since he caused all that trouble. -
He said he was going to give the address to his son. I also informed him that he was sitting on a gold mine of parts, tools, and the factory service manuals were crazy. I paid $75 for the MAF and it was pulled for me and he didn't even disconnect it from the upper air box so it made for a quick change over. I told him that I will be definitely be spending some more money here. That RX is was crazy as I never did expect to see one of them in this part of the country. Lord knows what he would charge for a EJ22 Jordan, but least you know where to find one already pulled. There is also a wide range of Justys there for people that are needing parts. The man has seen it all, FF-1's through STi.

He went behind his desk and handed me two 84 paint and upholstery brochures that were brand new and still in box, never been unfolded. Also, that is a tube of Subaru chapstick, not just a holder. This is him: His name is Danny Treece of City Limits Motors Inc. 2175 Seviers Blvd. Clinton TN, 37716. Awesome guy and knows his stuff from top to bottom. Stopped at the dealer on the way back through and watched the DVD the salesmen watch to be informed about the new STi.

After some searching at the local junkyard for a replacement MAF for my 91 Legacy and turning up nothing, I gave my buddy at the Subaru parts department a call. I asked if he knew anything about where I would find one of these and he gave me the number to a place and told me to speak to the owner; about 60 miles away. Talked to the guy yesterday on the phone and had me to read the numbers off my mass air flow and asked which ones, when he said it should begin with something like "22680....” I instantly asked what he specialized in, only word said was "Subaru". I talked it over with the fiancé and called my buddy Dusty and headed up at a 7 A.M. CST. On the way up we met a 06 STi driven by a guy that noticed Dusty's 02 WRX and almost broke his neck looking at us. Later we learned the STi belonged to the owner's son. We located this dealership looking establishment and in the process of doing a U-turn I seen a BRAT pulling out and going down the road. I was a little skeptical at first when I just seen about 12 wrecked Subarus out front. Talking with a man waiting to be picked up we learned that the owner of the place drove the 85 BRAT that just pulled out. When he returned he led us back through the shop and I purchased the MAF and he allowed me to take pictures of the place. I learned that he started working for Subaru West in Knoxville back before Grayson bought it out and has worked on Subaru his entire career. When West shut down he got to keep pretty much anything that he could get his hands on. He allowed me to take pictures and I share them with the world now. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, I came back home and went to work stress free. His WRX that morning: His son's Impreza coupe with methanol injection and DOHC EJ25: I about crapped my pants when I seen this: His BRAT: It gets better:

My latest find, #32 **edit** **New pics on page 3***

Whats the story on the grill? It looks like an 83 just missing the emblem. -
I watched this video on youtube: And I do believe that could be the cuase of some of my issues. I to believe the MAF could be bad, just the way it cuts out and bucks like its getting a bad connection especaially while driving as my issues are fairly small when sitting in park. I will go check junkyard on Monday since they have a 91 wagon and plan to snag both parts, what does your all canister solenoid look like?

I connected the black plugs today and got the new codes: I don't seem to have much trouble when idling in park, my real struggle comes when I put it in gear and start driving. I have to put in Neutral at red lights and give it gas to keep it from dying. I started the car and sprayed the tar out of the IAC again with this time it running, drove it and it still did the same thing. I checked for vaccum leaks and couldnt find any either.

Robs new Car
Durania replied to keltik's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
I don't know why more American spec cars don't use them since there is such a wide range of weather here in the states. There are many times when I wish my Legacy would have came with one. -

Rather stupid question, do they make your guy's Legacies and ship them to New Zealand from Japan or are they sent from America?
