  1. It was already compressed in the box. I just pulled the grenade pin.
  2. I have a 2001 Impreza 2.2 ltr, had the same problem! When facing the engine while it is running, a short fuel line on the front/top/passenger side of the engine was leaking. You could not see it if the car had been off after a few minutes, the gas would quickly dry, and look like it was fine.
  3. I have a 2001 Subaru Impreza L with a 2.2 Ltr. 2 yrs ago at 305,000 miles, I put a new timing belt, water pump, radiator, hoses, all new oil seals front/back/top/spark plug holes, and on. It now has 340,000 miles. My son drove it about an 1 1/2 hrs away, the next morning he said the car was hard to start, he let it idle to defrost the windows, then when he started out of the driveway it died, and would not re-start. He said it sounded like crap. Towed it home, got the front case off, and found that the idle pulley destroyed itself. I replaced the idler pulley, the belt tensioner, and the belt. Physically timing is correct, but sounds out of time when started, then dies. This is a interference engine, so I did a compression check, all good (180-185 PSI) per cylinder. Nothing is clanky, or noisy. Does the sooby try to correct itself when it noticed the timing went out, then stayed stuck in memory? I have not unhooked the battery yet, I know I should, but didn't. I'm bumfuzzelled, I didn't have this trouble last time I put a timing belt on. I have a Subaru back up CD manual that I followed to a tee, except for unhooking the battery. Any ideas?
  4. Can a 2001 2.5 from a RS work in place of a 2.2 ej22 from a 2001 impreza L I hear the intake manifold will bolt onto the 2.5 engine and work fine. Is this true?
  5. I bought some Mass airflow cleaner, cleaned all connectors, pulled everything off the throttlebody and cleaned everything. I fixed that problem, the only thing that sucked was that a rubber gasket separated the coolant from the idle control (which was full of deposits and probably stuck) expanded and won't fit now after removing it to clean. Kingsport Subaru says they could not find the gasket for the 2.2, but found the exact gasket on the 2.5 diagram. They tell me I may have the wrong throttle assembly. Huh! I never changed it. Ordered the one for the 2.5 ltr, lets hope it works. Trying the red permatex for now to hold me over for a week till the gasket comes in.
  6. P1507- Idle control system malfunction (Fail safe) P0507- Idle control system RPM higher than expected P0420- Catalyst efficiency below threshold I just need to know what to actually replace. Sensor? Cat?
  7. Just dropped the engine back in after replacing both head gaskets, and all oil seals. The car sat in the garage for 8 mo. before I could finish working on it, old gas, dropped in some Sea Foam, car ran funny for a while until almost on empty, now has new gas, full, runs alot better, but engine surges around 1900-2000 rpm, and goes away once you get over 2000 rpm. Does this sound like some type of sensor or air problem? Engine also surges when clutch kicks in on a/c compressor, during idle only. Compressor oil, and R134a replaced, and is in good range. Any suggestions? No surges when over 2000 rpm.
