I'm pretty sure he didn't tire the load to the coil. You know the fan doesn;t run when the car is off. He probably just ran some wires from the plug that goes into the switch to a ground. So when the car is on the fan is. Doesn't the thermo switch on EA81s just close a ground when it gets to temp? [HTi]Johnson

yeah, disconnect the fan...hook up a multimeter or a continuity tester and let the car warm up. Keep an eye the temp guage, and if the switch doesn't produce continuity somewhere between the midrange and right before the red, I'd say it's bad. Oh yeah, there is no problem to "hardwiring" your fan. But you should rig a switch, inside the car, so you can turn it off before you enter high water...if it is on when you submerse it, say goodbye to you fan and probably radiator. [HTi]Johnson

You know what? I have no clue if it has been done, or the setbacks...I do know that you should do it! That'd be sweet! [HTi]Johnson

Fuel filters...replace them and check for Vacuum leaks. THere are two, one in the engine bay and one in front of the rear passenger tire by the fuel pump, on top of a plate. [HTi]Johnson

I would think so...because I swapped a 5spd D/R into my GL-10 that WAS an automatic...I didn't do anything with the ECU. [HTi]Johnson

Yeah I believe the body parts are the same... all a Loyale is, is a Gl-10 without all the spiffy gadgets like power locks, windows, and etc. But the wiring is there for it all. Someone tell me if I am wrong at all. So I can learn. [HTi]Johnson

LOOK THE WRX Brat is making babies with the other one!...That's how the WRX Brat was made.

Hello Critical Max. I live in Eugene. And I am advised not to goto that Subaru mechanic for much, if any subaru work. What kind of work have you had done and how much did he charge ya. I bought a Subaru Wagon from a guy that had automatic tranny problems...he said that Gary fixed it once...but the problems came back. When I bought the car...i ended up putting a 4spd Dual Range in there...that requires a 3.9 Differential gearing...and to my suprise, the diff that the auto tranny was hooked up to was a 3.9...the diff that the Auto tranny was supposed to be hooked up to was a 3.7.... So that means in 4wd when the 3.9 Diff was hooked up to the Auto tranny, that was supposed to have a 3.7, the 3.9 Diff would try to spin the output shaft faster than the engine is...that lead to the repeated tranny breakage. Why was there a 3.9 Diff hooked up to a 3.7 Auto Tranny? I could only speculate why a "Subaru Specialist" would let the slide by. As for help in Eugene? I have a spare alternator...it's a green band..I think that's 30 amps. I'll PM you with my info. [HTi]Johnson

Cold air is denser air. :-p The denser the air, the more fuel can be mixed with it. The bigger the explosion is. But, how bad does it run with "warm" air. My brain just died...i was gunna ask some more questions...but I just blanked out...damn A.D.D. [HTi]Johnson

Hello. I have done the 3at to spd D/R swap in my 1987 GL-10 Turbo. Do I have to do anything to the computer to tell it it doesn't have an automatic anymore.? THanks, [HTi]Johnson

You might have a blown head gasket:-\...or one starting to blow. I think this because you've replaced all the crucial, first to go parts, and it still does this. What can happen is the gasket blows between the cylinder and the water jacket on the head/block...therefore letting hot exhaust gases into the water system. When you open your radiator cap when it runs...like just began to run, can you see bubbles in the radiator? Keep us posted. [HTi]Johnson

What is the screw thing on the HOT Wire maf....to the left of the wire plugin? And how much should I expect to pay for a new Disty? Thanks, [HTi]Johnson

yeah, Do a swap from 3at to 5speed. your engine's power would be used more efficiently. the time it takes depends on your skills. For parts...the easiest would be to get a donor parts car. Second easiest...find someone who wants to get rid of a car and is cool enough to pull all the parts for you (Thanks XSNRG A.K.A. MARK:drunk:). And third...junkyards..but every single person I dealt with in a junkyard has been an A-HOLE. [HTi]Johnson P.S. DON"T BE afraid to ask questions...they'll answer...i mean..they still answer my questions...they're very tolerant.

What is it? I mean, what's it do? [HTi]JOhnson P.S. I'm throwing Code 23 (Air Flow Meter)...but the car runs..a little rough, at times... could it be the bad Purge Control?

YAY:banana:. I got the GL-10 running and it's a little rough when it first starts. But it works for my way to work. [HTi]Johnson

It was a slow motion roll over...like the car almost didn't roll over. Yeah I was lucky I had no passengers. Oh yeah...the first thing out of my mouth when I was in the car was "Take a picture". THen I couldn't get the belt undone and I asked for a knife...but after a little playing with the buckle it opened and I fell to the roof and crawled out. [HTi]Johnson

Hello! You might already know, I rolled my GL Wagon . I'll put the pics here. I have some good news...pressed for a daily driver I fixed my Turbo GL-10. It runs pretty smoothly...i have it at 20' BTDC but when I cruise around 4grand....it surges...any suggestions on what that might be? I'm sure the gas in it is ancient could that be a problem. Thanks. [HTi]Johnson EDIT::: PICS ADDED

Yeah, the manifold, I believe, has coolant running through it...from one head to the other and witha couple hoses running off. [HTi]Johnson

You can just ask...we'll guide ya through it. What are you wanting to do with the tranny? Remove it why? [HTi]Johnson

DId you time it?

I know that some Subarus have/had air controlled shocks. SO what goes bad with them? Do the shocks themselves go out or is it the air system (Compressor, sylenoid, heighcontrol system, etc)? I was just thinking about the ones on my GL-10...well, the set in the front...the rear have been removed. Thanks. [HTi]Johnson

LOL, yeah. At least the gauge says it's 1/2 full

And if there is ATF, what color does it look like? Maybe the governor is in need of a cleaning? It's in the repair section of USMB (http://www.usmb.net/repair/?CurrentDirectory=FOLDER_3f29b58f50d9b8.15492800/&FileType=Article&File=ARTICLE_3f57fdb83de231.34713659.art) Good luck, keep us posted. Oh yeah welcome to the board... [HTi]Johnson

As I read on another post about the diffrences between Loyale and GL, it said something about the loyale not having the accessories of a GL, but it has all the wiring for it. So, by what I read, I'd say those are rear speaker harnesses. You could always use a multimeter to find continuity between the dash harness and the rear speaker harness. But my money is on it being a speaker harness. Am I right? CLose to right? OR far off? [HTi]Johnson

It does run...for a while...until i try to give it gas. I actually think it's the ignition timing...I just learned about the test mode connectors. I'll keep ya'll posted on my idiotness. [HTi]Johnson
