  1. Sounds like it could be the compressor going. Try jumping the pressure switch at the dryer, also check for bubbles Try jumping the compressor relay in the engine compartment fuse/relay box. If it kicks in with the pressure switch, you need to service the system
  2. Look on both sides of the center tunnel up front under the dash. The cables may not be connected or the control panel could be bad. The passenger side controls the heat The drivers side controls where the air is going
  3. So if you turn on the AC all is fine In the defrost mode, the AC compressor does not come on? When this happens, if you turn on the AC does the compressor start to work? If so, I'd say you had a bad control panel.
  4. I picked up a 93 Legacy Sedan and the sunroof is out of adjustment. It works and will open and close, but when I run it closed the right side on the rear is 1/2" down when the left side is flush with the roof line. If I continue to run it further close the Left side is a 1/2" high when the right side is flush.
  5. Does it idle OK? Did you check the TPS with a meter to see if its within specifications and there are no opens? Check the vac hoses as well
  6. The TY sticker was there but no numbers on it. I guess I'll just get the drive line hooked up and mark the tires and with one side jacked front and back see if they rotate together. It would be nice if it's a match. Dealer said the rear end was a 4.11 on the 95 by the VIN
  7. The complete rear subframe is easy to drop, struts , driveshaft, e-Brake cables and 6 bolts.
  8. PB Blaster on the alignment pins, let is soak. You can drive the pins FWD the passenger side will drive all the way through if needed, the drivers side will hit the engine case. If it's still stuck, drive a small wedge between the cases at a non critical area. That usually pops it. PS before you do any of this make sure all the bolts and nuts are off.
  9. I had a 5sp manual trans from a 90-93, I think 92 sitting around. I installed it in a 95 Legacy (auto manual swap) and I need to get the right rear diff. I'm pretty sure they were all 3.9 can someone confirm. Thanks
  10. Look at the plugs, are the all the same color? They should all be very light tan if things are working correctly. Could be an Injector, Plug, Plug wire, bad compression
  11. Take it to most any autoparts place and they will read the codes for free. Just ask them for the code # and post them back here or search the USMB for that code/s. If it does not start in park try it in "N"
  12. Swapped to a manual trans, which requires a longer drive shaft. I forget if its the front half or rear half that is longer. The front bolts into the forward mid bearing mount points, where the auto trans used the rear mid bearing mount holes. Thanks
  13. I'm on my 10 PCI Kit, the belts have all been OK. With the non interference engines 95 and older it's not a concern. I have never had a problem with the PCI Kits and you can't beat the price.
  14. I'd pull the door panel and check the wiring going to the lock. Sounds like it's grounding out.
  15. If you need the steel 2.2 cam sprockets, I have a few sets. I could send you a set. Lmdew@hotmail.com
  16. Yes, you can pull one or both of the side covers and if the belt is original you will know it. These are interference engines, so when in doubt change the belt, pulleys... With the drivers side cover off, you should be able to see the old style tensioner if you look inside the center cover.
  17. Yes, they do sell MAF cleaner at most auto parts stores. If I could not find it, I'd use electrical contact cleaner. Pull the filter box off, if you pull the air tube off you can spray the MAF from both sides. Spray it good and then let it air dry. Put it all back together. Larry
  18. Yes, you can sand, scrape... to get the flange clean. You have it on right, you will see the taper on the aft exhaust pipe once its clean.
  19. 1" black hose comes off just after the air cleaner on the bottom of the 3" air duct. It's about 8" long and goes to the IAC on the manifold. Cleaning the MAF with the MAF cleaner would also be a good idea if it has not been done.
  20. IAC sticking. Try Seafoam down the 1" air tube, let is soak and then start it up. The only other way to clean them is to pull it off the intake.
  21. Have you pulled the codes for the CEL? Sounds like a timing issue to me. When it was back firing it may have jumped the timing. It would be worth a look. I'd start with the CEL codes and then the timing. The ECU and wiring may be different even though the plugs were the same.
