  1. I have an original glovebox Trifold with all 3 original manuals. The Owners Manual, the Owners guide and the Warranty&Maintenance book. The car is long gone and I don't have the heart to throw this out. Email me if you want it (please no resellers) and I'll mail it to you. Its Free BTW.
  2. 11 November 2018 FLASH SALE! The Boss (wife) says my 91 Loyale Wagon has got to go. 110000 original, runs, A/C blows cold. Has a few hick ups consistent with its age. She was going to drive it VERY Soon to the car parts yard and get 3 or 4 hundred for it. hurts to see that happen, I would love to see it as a project car for someone else. Car color is white and NOT the 4WD model If you live near Baltimore and are interested in it I'll sell for the Car Part yard price. But she will not wait long.
  3. Anyone know a decent mechanic near Baltimore that works on old 90’s era Subaru’s???
  4. I have the print out but I am trying to find iy again on this forum. It involvrs going behind the glove box and jumpering two wires that bypass the belt saver system and allow the A/C compressor to run all the time. It seems to be the only fix that works. I still have a 20lb tank of the old refrigerant and the system is charged properly and blows cold. it would just be nice to not have to jumper the system
  5. Does anyone know or have a test procedure for the sensor that controls the belt saver system on the A/C? My A/c was cutting in and out and I adjust the sensor's standoff distance and it still cut out. I use a hack I found on this forum that worked great and the A/C blows cold enough to store food. But when you use the hack sometimes the fan control on the dash acts up, makes noise etc, So if anyone knows of a test procedure to test the sensor and has any idea's please let me know. The old beast has a ton of life left in her. (yes I used beast and her in the same sentence)(sorry)

  8. Dave it barely gets into the normal range in winter using the dash temp guage. I'll do the checks for bubbles and such and change out the thermostat with an OEM one. If no change I guess the next step is the radiator, like the post Sid it is 25 years old
  9. I have a 91 Loyale with a problem the has me scratching my head. Since I inherited this great car its had this weird (at least to me) problems. In the summer thetemp runs at the high end of the normal range, if I turn on the A/C it goes into the red. And in the winter time the temp barely gets into the normal range and no warmer. I did have a problem with the A/C cutting out but solved that problem with a fix I found on this forum. but the issue with the heat/no heat I don't believe had any bearing on the A/C issue So 1. Runs hot in summer, with A/C on it overheats 2. I tested the electric fan and it runs, whether our not it come on when I'm driving I don't know, though someone told me if the a/c is on the fan should run. 3. Barely gets warm in the winter. 4. Shop Put in an aftermarket thermostat years ago with marginal change. Any suggestions?
  10. I tested my alternator with a PBT 300 system tester. Part of the test has it running at high RPM, my test voltage was 17.46V. The PBT 300 manual says the regulator is bad. Is the regulator internal to the alternator or is it in a separate location. A dumb question but please indulge me.
  11. Its an all original equipment system and no it was not vacuumed and purged. I hace read on other threads is ok to run the system jumpered to bypass the belt protection system. Car seems to run fine. I guess I need to figure out why the A/C compressed turns off after it run for 10 seconds. is there a test procedure for the pulser that usually causes that problem??
  12. I have a 91 loyale with an A/C problem. I was charging the A/C system with R12 and when the A/C was turned on it would run for 10 seconds and then the clutch shutoff off. When I would turned the system off and back on it would work for 10 seconds and the clutch would cut out again. Following an earlier thread I found on this forum I jumpered the belt protection system. The A/C clutch engaged and said engaged. temp out of the A/C was 57 degrees F. My question: Is it OK to leave the system running like this? Also is the pulser bad? Is it turning off the clutch? Is their a test for the pulser?
