  1. Visit you local auto parts store, most of them will read the code for free and many will clear simple codes like the gas cap. Later
  2. I have a good coil pack if you want to try it $35 shipped. Lmdew@hotmail.com
  3. If you do not buy the car, please send me the info. I have a 99 2.5 that needs a home. Thanks, Lmdew@hotmail.com
  4. It will bolt right up. I did the same with a 98 outback with a bad engine. Plugged in a 95 2.2. The 95 & 96 are direct plugins. Others will need harness manifold adjustments.
  5. Air control valve on the front of the SPFI. Pull the hose off and plug both ends with your thumbs. I bet it will idle rock solid. Later, Larry
  6. I have a 92 Legacy Sedan FWD Auto and the drivers side has excessive play in the stub shaft. I checked the bearing retainer for the differential housing and it was tight. The play is between the stub shaft an the differential housing. Anyone have the limits in the clearance between the parts? Does it require a differential rebuild to fix this? Thanks Larry
  7. That's it. The full part number on the blue tag is: 26731AA200 Additional numbers on the tag Nippon 110 000 30460, in th silver box on the tag is 467-0424 4 lines on top 3 cyclinders between the upper and lower blocks 2 lines coming out the bottom engine side block. If you send me and email I can send a picture or two. Later, Larry Lmdew@hotmail.com
  8. If it turns out you need a new ABS unit, let me know I have the computer and ABS unit from a 96. It should be the same. Lmdew@hotmail.com
  9. Anyone have Carfax or another servcie, would you please see if the title is clear. VIN: 4S3BG6852W7616662
  10. I made her an offer on the car, but she was selling to someone who has a little more to spend. Larry
  11. I thought the pin for the AT identifier had to be pulled. I'll try doing it with a ground instead. Thanks for the info, Larry
  12. I have completed the auto to Manual Trans conversion on a 90 Loyale. Things were operating fine, but the wires to the Kickdown relay overheated and melted. I think this was a previous owners problem, not related to the trans swap. Anyway, I repaired all of the melted wires and put things back together without the Kickdown relay. I pulled ECU pins: 1 - Kickdown Control 16 - Kickdown Monitor I thought this would prevent the CEL light from coming on. The computer still is looking for the kickdown relay and the CEL comes on with code 45 right away. SO how can I make the computer see it is a Manual not an auto trans? Anyone have the Factory Wiring diagrams on the 90 Loyale? Thanks for the Help! If anyone is up for the challenge, its in good shape otherwise 184K FWD Gray&Gray, no rust. $800 and its yours!
  13. Anyone have a clue as to where the wires run to that go to the Kickdown relay that is up under the dash, above the glove box? The fuse blew on my 90 Loyale and I put it in D-Check to see what was up. By a process of eliminations, I was able to isolate it to the Kickdown relay (when it disconnected the fuse will not blow). I pulled apart the wires as far as I could (the bundle goes into a plastic routing tube and I found severa spots where the black/white wires has melted the insulation of the blue and blue/green wires (4 total) that go the the relay. Note, this is a Auto to Manual trans conversion, but I don't think that is the problem. I think I will have to pull the dash to confirm the short's location and to ensure there are no more damaged wires. Any idea on what year/model Subaru's may be interchangable? Any thoughts on why this happened? Thanks Larry
  14. Put the breaker bar over on the battery side frame and hit the starter a couple of times. That will break it loose! Works great and you can do it with one hand.
  15. Ebay # 4531117391I talked to this fellow yesterday. It goes to show, you need to find a good Subaru Mechanic and read your owners manual. He purchased the car about a month ago. The timing belt went and the shop he took it to said they could replace the T-belt and tensioner. Once he had that done, as one would expect, they found bent valves. The shop should have expected the bent valves, as it’s an interference engine. This shop wanted $3000.00 for the engine work. The fellow opted not to put any more money in the car. The shop then let this poor fellow tow the Subaru off on his car Dolly (now the trans is most likely bad). Sad to here someone being taken like this.
  16. If you want an instrument cluster, I have one with 120K on it. All gauges work. $35+shipping ($15) Larry
  17. I have a used master cyclinder and booster if you need them. $30 if you pick it up from Colorado Springs. I could also take a quick look at your car and confirm the problem. Its not a bad price for the repair though. Larry
  18. I second that. Any good Mechanic can check the coolant for exhaust gases. They even sell kits at auto parts stores so you can do this yourself.
  19. Yes, please sell the car to me! I have a 99 2.5 engine that needs a home :>) Lmdew@hotmail.com
  20. Look at the shaft for the wiper. Is it moving, if so then the shaft or wiper arm is stripped. The linkage between the two sides could have come apart, but I doubt that. You need to pull both wiper arms and the plastic cover to get at the linkage.
