  1. During cold start up, it will idle right at the 2nd line and slowly rise to the middle line. During Running temp in drive, it also idles at the 2nd line lol. I don't get it. I know what you mean about the build up of crap on the butterfly, took care of all that when I bought it. I have adjusted the IAC to bring the RPM up, but then it goes right back to where it always is (Guessing the ECU is compensating?) So I put it back, and same goes for the TPS. Gonna check out the IAC saturday and also replace both vac lines that run off it.
  2. I like this Hatch, very clean and well done! I've always wanted one of those "Roo Bars" for my EA82.
  3. Maybe it depends on the dealer, Wilde Subaru which is the closest dealer, doesn't carry much for seal/gasket sets in stock (Totally BS!) But they have oil filters! Anyway, While at operating temp and in Drive. It idles at the the first thin line right above the thick line (0rpm) So I am guessing thats like 300rpm? Its smooth and quiet and has always run about that low (Can the IAC also be causing this?)
  4. Theres two on the crossover? I guess so (One for the gauge and one for the ECU) but I've never seen the other one. But yes, I replaced the 2 pin sensor, not with a Genuine part though, I got a new one from Carquest. I am thinking of taking the IAC off this weekend and clean it thoroughly. Probably won't get a gasket since the dealer will have to special order it. Red RTV or Ultra Gray will do just fine. Happy to here you got the grill.
  5. I am leaning towards IAC as I replaced the CTS 2 years ago. The CTS is on the Coolant Crossover, correct?
  6. Yes, internal. External didn't start till 2000 on all Subarus.
  7. That would be the plan. Although I ain't dropping the pan on the EJ22 (Crossmember is in the way)
  8. Fuel economy is not an issue anymore, turns out the MAF was sh*t. Now I'm getting over 24mpg.
  9. I think its buttoned up much better then Scott could produce. I can't imagine that thing having to much power left with those huge tires. Leave it in Low-range I guess.
  10. *Cough* Yeah, Torque Converter bolts are gonna be a PITA to get to.
  11. Good thought. Didn't mention this, but, after you drive it some place, shut it off and come back 10-20min later and fire it up, it'll kick up to 1600rpm for a sec then lower down to normal running speed (Which is normal, why it doesn't do that when its cold is beyond me)
  12. The 4EAT is pretty robust, Pulled 2 Subarus with it (one from Chicago) I was mainly thinking of running it through the trans on the Legacy before trying on my Landcruiser (Which downshifts a little hard at times)
  13. What would cause extremely low idle at cold start up? IAC? Cause I'm talking "Low idle" 300rpm then slowly works it way up to 700rpm (It should idle at least 1500rpm when cold) I have no codes, and it runs fine other wise. I have cleaned the IAC the best I could without taking it off the intake, I have also ran Seafoam through the intake system twice before this started. All Vac lines are new (Even the 3/4" ones) All electrical plugs are clean. Everything is up to par maintenance wise. Ideas?
  14. It works fine, other then it holds gear a little longer when its cold, takes a little for it shift outta 2nd. Trans-Tune is composed of 3 Petroleum bases, its basically a flush to remove varnish from the valves, bands etc..
  15. The Full size spare was at a later date, all I could get was the Peugeot Rectangle hole style. I went with a Grabber tire as I was going to run those, but bought the Bighorns instead (A much better tire)
  16. Thinking of running Seafoam Trans-Tune through the system and see if it'll clean out the valves and whatnot. Has anyone had results from this product? Good, Bad, Neutral.
  17. If you look at this image, the car is stuck. Its too deep for that style of tire, plus having open diffs. Yeah, that picture is kinda a "lie" if you will.
