88GL 5speed 4wd turbo check engine

replace the selinoid... well you can try cleaning the contacts on the connector but 90% of the ones I've replaced at work were bad seliniod. If you have to get one from a Junk Yard, go to a u pullit yard and get something "cheap" like a interior light cover or something and just put the selinoid in your pocket. They run like 40 or 50 bucks -

Anchorage get together

yeah I'm starting to think that one of my heads is cracked. Not from this trip down, but sometime before. I get a little white smoke out the tail pipe about 35 percent of the time I'm driving. This time (after the major overheat) I noticed a sheen (slight film on top of the antifreezE) so I'm guessing its the 1 & 3 head thats bad. Found out the cause of the major overheat.... Aux Fan didnt turn on. Kelly I will let u know about the heads. I think I got some at work (just a matter of digging for them in the engine parts box) -
heh, my first cable change took 10 minutes......... way easier than spending 150 bucks. Thats half the money you'd need for a lift

hehe.. well I made it back to fairbanks.. Started the car this morning, let it warm up for 15 minutes, came outside and the cab was filled with smoke. Blew both heater core hoses. I've never knew the temp gauge would almost touch the 0 on the tach... Got it running. Left anchorage at 8:30 pm, made it to Wasilla and blew a upper rad hose (4th one this fall) But all in all we still made it in 5 and a half hours. Nice meeting you guys while I was down there. Thanks for dinner Matt. -

I'm pretty sure they used the stock STI dash and gauges from what I saw in the pic. I was at the dealer last week getting parts and I looked at 3 STis.. unless its the beer talking....

Hey guys, I'm changing rear bearings in a 98 forester. I need some help with breaking it down to get to the spindle. 1. I noticed they have no pins holding the cv axle on the stub shaft on the rear end. Is this correct? 2. How do I disconnect the cable parking brake? 3. Do these break down the same way a EA82 wagon does? you have to pull the inside of the axle first and then pound the outside out of the spindle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This town sucks. No Where in town do they have a chiltons or a haynes manual for subarus newer than 1996.

Everyone wants a RX because of how rare they are. I've only seen 4 Rx's in all of alaska. I talked to 3 of the owners and asked them if they would sell the car and all of them said no, just becuase of the fact that they are hard to find.
