iceing up ? no coolant flow thru T B or bad ground on coil boltup bracket bad coil wire. A feul fillter whould only do it when under heavy load uphills or long hyway accelerations. Or diss cap has a crbon track or rotor is arcing to center shaft of disstributor anything high tention whould be worse under load. -

We ran a 420 cid porpane mixer on a 2.2 turbo and on a 3.0 turbo and have run ea82 and ea81 turbos on propane seems that the 420 is just big enuff.We had tried to use a 325 mixer but was to small for ej motors worked good on smaller motors. I like to run both so can swich back and forth between propane and gas.

my cut down harness car is a pain to start the first time every time uses a 2.2 harness with 2.5 turbo engine have narrowed it down to air lock between injectors and pump when it sitts. It has to push all the air out before it gets feul to injectors thiss takes some cranking time. Could be fixed with a one way check valve close to injector feeds to prevent feul prehsure bleed back

What oil when its cold well my justy turns a bitt slow in - 25-35 but starts just fine and gets 15-40 all year round. Its the only car i whould drive in winter as it far surpasses the handleing of any other subaru i own or have seen in the snow and ice. All my other subarus start fine with heavy oil 15-40 all year round. I a'm more woried about breakdown of oil from heat than i a'm about damage from cold start

have seen more overheated subaru engines probly than anyone else. And the oil is cooked in most and dosent matter what kind of oil. The oil dosent make the engine fail heat do's. Yes synthetic will take more heat but i have seen no proof it increses the life of engine. Less if anything because people think they can leave it longer between oil changes. The engines i tear apart that have run synthetic all there life are way dirtyer inside than the ones that ran conventanal oil. I use quaker 10 -40 or 15-40 deisel oil no 5-30 ever ! and 10 -30 very rarely subarus have always liked heavy oil if you whant it to last anyway. Had a outback wagon 2.5d 420000kms on origanal engine ran wallmart 10-30 its whole life and still runs good and engine was spotless inside mind you it leaked a litre a day but still runing strong.

I think the tbi whould pass air care better than a carb as it has a 02 senser and can fine tune the mixture my tbi brat runs way cleaner than my carbed brat by alot and realy wasent hard to convert. 81 brat with 91 tbi it just works so mutch better
