Here's the guide I wrote about that, but in this case the speedo works, but won't give the computer speed info. I tend to doubt that's the issue you're having, because if the head wasn't getting a speed signal, it wouldn't be able to send it on the the computer. And you'd get a p0500. Older gauge clusters almost work in 99's.... They come tantalizingly close to connecting up, but they don't

The 90 and 93 ej22 are OBD1, your car is OBD2. It's a different computer system. Since most of the wiring for the engine is on the intake mani (injectors, throttle body, coil, etc), you need the manifold that matches the computer system/wiring in your car. I really thought the ej25 manifold would bolt onto the ej22... but grossgary says it won't, so it won't. Go to the JY, get the manifold. Get the gaskets you need. Bold it all together and it should work. Cheapest and easiest option.

Get real tires, and you'll be fine. I have a winter set of wheels and a summer set of wheels.... I don't use ABS mostly because my GL doesn't have it, so it annoys me on the Legacy. But on the Legacy it isn't horrible with GOOD TIRES. There's a billion threads about people hating ABS because it isn't god, and make you stop on a dime on ice with bald tires

Love my snow tires. I'm addicted, I couldn't run another winter without them. But then, I live in Maine... I drive on roads that are impassible without snow tires and 4wd/awd in some conditions. My driveway is one of them... Got the engine in my GT ready to pull, everything disconnected (pretty much). Didn't have it in me tonight, so I'll get a fresh start at it tomorrow. When I warm up a bit I'm going back out to get the timing belt on the ej22 swap engine. I can't wait to have it running!

I'm doing it all right.The blown ej25 in the car this ej22 is destined for didn't have the crank torqued down enough. Made a real mess!! And that wasn't even the worst of the damage the last "mechanic" did to the engine. I have my location set in my control panel thing, don't know why it's not showing. I'm in Maine. I probably could have gotten one from someone, but there's a machine 3 miles down the road from me, and they only want $10 or something for it. EDIT: maybe my location shows now?

From looking at the FSM, and guides online, the timing belt on a 2.2 looks really easy... But I'm having an issue. From pictures it appears that there's an arrow on the crank sprocket to indicate TDC, and there's a mark you're supposed to use for the timing belt. Mine seems to be MISSING that timing mark. The ej25 I have party apart also doesn't have the timing mark. Just the arrow. The manual shows the "timing belt guide" but only for MT models, the 25, and I guess the ej22 I'm working on are from autos. So do not have this. What's the deal? From pictures the timing mark is 6 teeth to the left from the arrow, could I just count 6 teeth over and make the timing mark? What am I missing here? Here's a nice pic from rs25 of what I'm talking about, mine doesn't have the white mark, just the arrow. And that appears to me an MT because it has the guide thing. http://dave.oc7.org/images/2005.09.09.rs.motor.rebuild/images/DSC_8893.jpg If my logic is right, I can put a mark 6 to the left of the TDC arrow, which would rotate the crank 90deg. Put the crank mark on the timing belt there, and put the cam marks on the cam sprockets on the lines etched into the pully. And it will all be right. Just wanna confirm. EDIT: I should probably also note, it's a 1997 ej22. So it's interference... I don't wanna mess it up!

I jam my cup between the ebrake and the passenger's seat. A little tight now that I have OBS seats, but still works.

Just so you know, you don't have to push the shift release button to shift it with the engine off. Turn the ignition on, push the brake, and you should be able to shift from P to N. At least, my 98 works like that. Until you get it sorted out, that will at least save you having to push the shift lock release

Where in Maine are you? You aren't talking about Warren AutoBarn, are you??! DON'T GO THERE!!!!!!!! They messed up strut install on my car, messed up my friend's car so bad it needed an engine, and actually crashed my car. Denied all of it! Nearly took a lawsuit to have them pay for damage to my car. The guy who runs the place is a crook.
