  1. Did the cable brake or is the cable end OK and just the plastic pull tab broke? The cable can be changed by removing the drivers front fender.
  2. Runs good but will need head gaskets before you install it. Complete car so you have everything you need and can sell the rest.
  3. Lmdew2@gmail.com Send me a pic of yours so I can make sure it's the same. I'm out of town until Friday. Larry
  4. Keep it painted. If it's new you could under coat it. I've seen some pretty rusty ones, but not here in CO.
  5. Valve covers can be done in the car. If you have leaks at the Head Gaskets, most recommend pulling the engine as it's much easier to work on once it's out. Easy to pull. You can do the HG in the car, and if you unbolt the motor mounts and pitch stopper you can raise the engine about 3" to give you better access.
  6. T-Belt Cam an Crank Seals Re Seal the Oil Pump and loctite the oil pump cover seals. You need the Oil Pump oring and gray RTV Valve Cover Gaskets Rear Breather Plate reseal Plugs Those are the items I usually do on the Junk Yard motors before I drop them in. Yes it cost a little, but it's much easier to do when you have it all out. I've done a bunch of these swaps, best option if you don't know the history of the engine. I've seen may folks that have put $1500 into the HG and maintenance only to have the rod let loose a year later.
  7. Swap the injectors to another spot and see if the fault follows. I had a 2.2 that missfired, with stock plugs, wires, coils and the injector fixed it.
  8. The light tan seats seem to pick up dirt very easy and I've seen what looks like water stains on the materials as well. Have you found a good cleaning product for the interior tan materials? Thanks Larry
  9. Most likely struts. Push the strut dust cover up, do you see lost of fluid? If so the strut is shot.
  10. I doubt the antenna disconnected from the unit, but it's a possibility. You could also plug in an external antenna and see if it works to isolate it to the antenna or radio unit.
  11. How did you get a boat load of good motors? I have a 2002 that threw a rod, thought may be the heads would be worth saving.
  12. Oil seperator plate most likely. Leave the rear main alone they almost never fail unless someone has changed it already.
  13. You want to go with Plan B for the Evap Can. I've done both and had gas smells from the rear with the front evap can installed. Hooked the two pipes together and the smell went away.
  14. You can bump it up a little with the IAC. Just mark it's position before you adjust it. Was the swap from a car with the same type trans. Auto - Auto?
  15. Plugs, NGK Plug Wires NGK or Subaru Swap the coil with a known good one Check the Injector, you can listen to it activate or pull the plug and see if the idle drops. If you have a spare injector connect it to the plug and make sure it's working.
  16. Did you check the wiring at the fan? I bet they just went easy and wired right to the fan. Does the fan change speeds? If not it's not going through the resistor pack down by the fan.
