    Better off selling that car and buying one with a turbo. The time and money to convert would be outrageous.
  2. desertsubaru
    Did you use an OEM or a cheap aftermarket sensor?
  3. desertsubaru
    For that price you can get a 2 ton Bottle jack from a store. About $30 bucks.
  4. desertsubaru
    The most important part is to make sure the converter is seated on the trans shaft correctly. Never hurts to have things aligned properly.

    On my old GL wagon that had a split boot I repacked it a little then took a piece of heavy plastic then zip tied it on to keep grease from flying all over. Drove from AZ to PA like that then put 10k more on it before I changed it.

    Take the vacuum hose off of the brake booster and look for fluid. There have been cases where the seals in the master cylinder are going bad leaking brake fluid into the intake and then burning off in combustion.
  7. desertsubaru
    Which engine? IMO opinion since the engines in subes are so easy to pull then pull it to do a complete gasket reseal.
  8. desertsubaru
    Problem could be Weak fuel pump, bad fuel pressure regulator, bad check valve on fuel pump or leaking injector allowing pressure to bleed off.

    Just replaced rear wheel bearing on Forester. Took 5 hours to get the axle out with heat/PB blaster and a big puller/BFH. A 20 ton press wouldn't budge it.

    What a shame that Subaru has gone so far down hill from 20 years ago. It would be interesting to see what country they were built in because it seems like the cars built here in the states have bad quality control. Quick google search shows the cars in question were built in the USA. http://www.stanleysubaru.com/blog/2013/may/8/where-are-subarus-built-where-is-the-subaru-impreza-built.htm

    Sounds like the shift linkage broke or separated at a joint.

    Check to see if you have power going into the coil.
  13. desertsubaru
    I would bet that it is in the yard because of bad HGs.
  14. desertsubaru
    What about a low pressure fuel pump connected to a trans cooler line to circulate the fluid through the trans. I have no idea if it would work, just shooting out an Idea.

    the Diff oil and add a friction modifier and see if that helps.
