  1. If you were asking me, the front section worked pretty well. Not perfectly, but good enough. The back part is for a brat and only for a brat. So, I have an extra brat rear section of carpet if anyone wants it...
  2. No charcoal canister. I was thinking about hooking it up to give it a try, but I also might just delete the whole breather system and route it right out the back of the car...
  3. Oh, and it almost always starts right up. Sometimes it's a little bit slower than others, but it never seems like it's having real problems starting.
  4. Thanks for the reply Subarutex. I am running fuel injection. I think you are probably right, but I'm wondering why I only have the problems when the fuel tank is full, and why when I disconnect the breather lines, the problem seems to go away. It seems like some sort of pressure issue, so a surge tank set up would probably remedy in that there would be a way to buffer some of those pressure changes. So in you new set up, do you have the lift/low pressure pump always on? What are you using for the surge tank?
  5. Thanks Leeroy. I think this is the separator you speak of. There is one of these in either side of the wagon. The car was running fine before I hooked these up, but did smell like gas pretty bad on warmer days!
  6. Yeah. It has a little arrow on it for orientation, but if that is all it does it is probably not the cause of my problems....
  7. PM sent. Looking for http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/145387-wtb-i-think-its-a-pressure-regulator-for-the-fuel-breather-line/
  8. Anyone know this part? It sits in the back of the body in the wagon, passenger side, behind the plastic. Part of the fuel breather line. It was buzzing really loud for a while so I bypassed it with little effect, but now... problem thread here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/145361-ej22-in-a-78-leone-wagon-power-loss-faltering-issue/
  9. I'm hoping it might be a problem with this little guy. Anyone know what it is? Pressure regulator?

  11. So I recently got all the fuel breather lines hooked up in the back of that wagon. They were old and shrunken and pulled away from the attachments to whatever valves or filters or whatever they are that are inside the body in the rear of the wagon, behind the plastic - so I attached some new bits of tubing with barbed fittings to make up the distance. Now, when I fill the fuel tank, the car will drive normally for a few minutes and then falter randomly and unpredictably. It will just cut power and then kick back in making for a herky jerky ride. When it is in this mode, the idle also fluctuates regularly between about 600 and 1200 RPM. This slowly decreases in frequency and violence as the tank empties until around 1/2 to 3/4 tank, it disappears entirely. I disconnected the fuel breather and have driven a little bit and the problem seems to stop, BUT then it smells like gas in the car. Does this sounds like I simply need larger fuel lines for the breather? Am I right in calling this a breather line? The lines also are hard to track in their routes through the car. Does anyone have a diagram? Could it simply be 1 or all of the valves (or whatever they are) that the lines run through?

  13. It sounds like user the sucker king might have these parts for you. PM him. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/user/509-the-sucker-king/
