  1. Oh and check your timing. I just checked mine, It was at 15 degrees btdc suppose to be at 20. Changed it, the problem basiclly went away. I'm just going to leave it the way it is. Its like a completely different car now. :D
  2. I kinda didn't. I cleaned it. And once I found the tps out of spec I'm guessing it has to be that. Which would make sense to me since its not reading right the comp doesn't know where the throttle is at.

  6. I checked everything else, TPS has to be whats wrong with mine.
  7. LOL Ya I guess Junk yards here I come. I just hate getting used parts when I could have a new one. But if the part is close to what I payed for the car forget it.
  8. OK so a new tps sensor is $400:banghead: Good god. So I guess I have a new question. Where can I get a cheap tps sensor?
  9. OK so I just checked the tps and its at 1500. And according to the specs on the site here its suppose to be 2.4k. I think I'm going to try and adjust it and see what it does. Might just need to replace the sensor. Kinda funny I just did the same thing to my Iroc a couple months ago. Ok so I just checked the resistance between B and D and its .559 and it says it should be 3.5k to 6.5k. Time for a new sensor. Might have just found the problem.
  10. Cool sounds like we are having the exact same problem. Mine as well is worse when its cold.
  11. I have done all those things short of replacing all the vacuum hoses cause I sprayed carb cleaner on them and the car never changed pitch in idle at all. And I didn't check my tps sensor. I was going to ask that earlier but forgot. I know this thing is going to be nothing compared to my chev's but I just want it to run right. Its to nice to not run right. Thanks for all the help so fare you guys.
  12. I found it and all ready replaced it. It was bad but not the culprit. Could a Failing fuel pump do this?
  13. Its a 5 speed push button 4wheel drive. And Yes my Iroc feels like a super car compared to the boob. But it still has something wrong.
  14. But my car isn't having a problem with its idle. But I will look into it anyways. I can really feel it hesitate at like 2k rpm and up. Anything below that it feels fine. I guess, just lacking torque, But I'm used to driving my Iroc so...
  15. Thanks Frank. I already dumped a can of seafoam in the tank right when I got her, I also did the deep creep to the intake. I was going to pick up a O2 sensor today and throw it in. Guess I'll do the fuel filter. Where is it located on these cars? I will also check for a vacuum leak and do the pcv valve. McDave, I am trying to stay away from replacing the maf cause its $200 dollars. But if I have to I guess I will. Thanks again guys.
  16. Hey guys I'm new to this site. Kinda new to subaru's. I just picked up a 90 loyal wagon. I use to have a gl hatch before, but that is long gone. Anyways I had a question about my loyal. It is having a power issue I guess. What is happening is when I'm trying to get up to speed it feels like its missing almost. I would say hesitating, but if I floor it it get up fine. I just did plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change, and cleaned the maf with maf cleaner. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys. Tim
