Right on man. Sounds like a good little setup

If you end up getting a lift kit and need some help let me know. I'm over here on South Hill. I pretty much put my whole 6" lift on my new wagon by myself yesterday .

Me, personally. Would not take a stock rig through there. You will BEAT that thing up If it's stock and on 13" tires. Especially the trails that i was taken on up there, now there could be smoother, easier ones that i didnt go on. I went there with a 2" lift and some 215s and rubbed like a son of a b**** ... The only reason why I wouldn't go there stock is because one, it's not gonna be that fun. You're gonna have a hard time crawling over stumps & rocks because you have no clearance nor any traction .. Two, you're in a stock rig, with stock tires and there just isn't any actual "wheeling" involved with a stock rig .. Not trying to dog on your wheeling trip or bring ya down but that's just my two cents . Ill have my new wagon back on the ground by tomorrow, hopefully. I've got a 6" on mine so if you guys wanna go play I'd be willing to tag along so no one gets stuck .

I'm totally down to still rep NWWO. I haven't given up on Subaru wheeling I've just been having motor problems with my car lately.

That'd work better for me . Say, you still got any ea81s laying around Jeff ?

Awesome. Thanks . I think I'm gonna head to HF and pick one up today .

Do you have the numbers for the ohms they should be at when I test them ? I don't have a manual anymore I somehow lost it

Well I was hoping to figure out what was wrong with my car before the weekend but I don't see that happening lol So I think I'll be sitting out on this one :/

I don't have any way to test out the fusible links, can you tell if they're bad just by looking at em ? Also car will absolutely not start right now, it keeps cranking. Starts for like a tiny second then goes back to cranking

Well I watched your videos today Miles, redid the timing belts, made sure they were tight and then did the ignition timing. Everything was good, still same results. I can barely get the thing to rev up before it bogs out or back fires. I had poor idle on cold start so I swapped out a CTS, still no improvement. Last but not least I just threw on a maxima alternator because the voltage was low so I figured maybe it'd smooth out the idle. Nope still doing the same thing. I noticed an exhaust leak here and some water dripping from the welds: Don't mind the welds LOL this muffler has been re used a couple times. I could have a hollow/clogged cat or a bad muffler ? I just let the car warm up for about 15 minutes then shut it off. Started this post, and tried starting the car again, wouldn't start unless I had my gas pedal to the floor and when it did start it started backfired/popped then died What the he!! Gives !?

Yeah all of the vacuum lines are connected. Timing belts are a little loose but nothing severe. They could have slipped a tooth like someone suggested. After I get a new battery for it ill redo the timing belts and see what that does

Alright I'll give er a look over again today. See if I can find anything .

I have no way to test the alternator but I know it is kind of weak, i have a maxima alternator sitting in my garage and a Double belt pulley that I could throw in to see if it helps anything. But I don't think my alternator was the thing that went POP !

Like I said before, all pcv hoses are new from dealer and not disconnected. Including the breather hoses off of the valve covers Same with other vac lines, most of em have been replaced . Plugs are not even 6 months old, wires could be changed out but not corroded. All wires going to the alternator are clamped down and connected.

And if ya can't get a sitter it's no biggie man .

Lol yep. Didn't check the ignition timing but could be a possibility .

Well, I got a new cap n rotor. Went home and found a nice little chunk missin from the rotor, replaced the cap n rotor and still getting the same results. Crappy idle and acceleration, I didn't try to drive it though ... My alternator seems to be crappy, lights get dim at low rpm and brighten up when I step on the gas

Ok thanks for the tip, ill pull em off when I get home and replace em, see what that does. Ill check the timing as well.

I'm not at home right now I'm gonna look into it tomorrow. I towed it home and then left for the day ..

Uhm didn't hear any vac leaks I did hear an exhaust leak by my muffler, no issues with pcv hoses they're all fairly new from the dealer, I've replaced just about ever vacuum line and intake/rad hose on the car lol intake gaskets are new but not oem. IAC and throttle body have all been cleaned out and iac has been replaced, I have a couple junkyard ones . It was leaking a decent amount of oil on to the Cat and passenger side axle, on crossmembers etc. I could've possibly messed up my installation on my rear main and it went POP ! I don't know at this point ...

I have the wire hooked up to the light sender, I had it wired to the pressure sender but it still didn't do anything. And yes, yesterday morning before I left my house I snugged up my intake bolts because my idle was bouncing around and I tightened up the spark plugs and checked everything out. So spark plugs and wires are all intact.

It's a FI motor out of a 92 loyale in my 88 gl D/R No nasty mechanical noises so I don't think it's a valve either. Ill check the ignition timing again but I don't think the T belts slipped a tooth. And the oil pressure gauge would go up if I turned the key over but when Id fire up the motor it would stay below 0 and not go back up.

Can a moderator delete one of these threads please ? I'm not sure how two of em popped up lol

So basically my title explains what my car did last night lol I was on my way home from the grocery store and I pulled out on to the street, shifted into 2nd at like 5k and right when I go to shift it went POP! And then just kinda bogged out, didn't die but my acceleration was choppy it would barely move under it's own power, I coasted into the gas station (barely) a cop came by and actually pushed me into a Parking stall with his bumper Now I just put in an FI junkyard ea82 long block in it a couple days prior, it had been leaking A decent amount of oil but still running fine, no TOD but absolutely no oil pressure on the gauge. It would come on when Id turn the key over but once I started it the pressure would sit way below 0 I left it there last night went back this morning, found my disty cap a little loose, tightened it down an that's about it. It starts up and runs, idles a little low and the acceleration is still choppy, I have to feather the gas pedal to get up towards 3k or so but once it hits 3k I can rev it all the way up to 6 no problem. Gives a little backfire when rpms are comin down but I think that's just because of my loud exhaust . I was having some trouble getting the timing right after i put the motor in, but I did get it timed. And it starts up like normal. So could my timing be off ? Subruise suggested I possibly dropped a valve ?
