EGR solenoid valve and AC fuse.
lmdew replied to francis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Nice, it's a good conversion. I've done a 93 Legacy and 92 Loyale, but never got around to hooking in the clutch switch. When you get time, additional info on you wiring changes would be great! Thanks, Larry -
92 Loyale ECU Power? Dead Subaru :>(
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm out of town for the week, but fuses, connections, voltage checks are on my list of things to do. A simple fix would be Great! -
It was the ECU fuse that killed the power. I replaced it and it drove well for a while. After replacing the fuse a couple of time and trying to find what is drawing that much power, I've found the car has a great speed control for my 15 year old. When ever you go WOT (wide open throttle) the fuse blows for the ECU and the engine dies. The ECU is not getting any code due to the power loss. I'm going the check the TPS and see if it meets specs. What other items are powered under WOT conditions that may be drawing enough power to blow the fuse? _________________________________________________________________ Completed my trans swap and got the $80 Loyale running for the first time. It ran fine for about 1/2 mile, then the check engine light came on. It ran for another 1/8 mile and went dead. I just completed a trans swap to get this car going, so the steering wheel and stuff was out to change the brake box. I'll re check the connections, but I thought I'd get this post out for other Ideas! Thanks, Larry

Completed my trans sway the 5sp works great! Can't beat those $60 transmissions. I left the auto shifter in until I get the wires swapped out. Anyone have the changes that are needed to put the clutch switch in the start circuit and remove the auto shifter? Thanks for the help in advance, Larry

1) remove the negative battery cable 2) Under the center arm rest, there are 2 screws, remove them and the shift panel will pull up. Do not remove it, but shift it aside. 3) Remove the ash tray and the 3 screws that hold the slide plate in ( 2 on top and one in the back) 4) Remove the cup holder 2 screws. Now the CD face plate should come out 5) The CD changer is held in with 6 screws (before you remove them, place some rags at the bottom to catch the screws that will fall. 6) Carefully pull the unit and mounting brackets fwd and unplug the connectors. That should do it. Not tough, but care is needed. Note this was for my 98 Outback, but I believe yours is the same. Larry

I have them on mine, no problem. Check the www.nasioc.com board the WRX guys pull them all the time. If you watch, you see them go for $200 and up with less than 5000 miles on them. How are your old rims? If they are in good shape and you're going to sell, let me know. Thanks Larry Lmdew@hotmail.com

Warning, www.apb_auto.com I purchased some Legacy door panels from APB Auto online; they have a couple of email and are located in OH. They said they were in stock and would be shipped the next day. Two weeks later they showed up. Turns out they were shipped from another yard in WA state, to OH then to me in CO. The panels were damaged on top of being late. I returned them to the WA yard at their request and my costs. Two months later, still no refund! I should have known, as they did not take PayPal credit card payments! I would never purchase part from them again!

I picked up a 92 2WD Loyale wagon with a bad Auto Trans. I can push it forward in neutral, but only a foot or two in reverse and it locks up. Also the starter will not turn the engine, but I can rotate it through by had with normal resistance. I think I could unbolt the torque converter and that should free the engine from the trans, but I could still start the motor. Will it work? I want to check out the engine prior to doing the auto to manual trans swap. Ideas? Thanks Larry

WANTED: Body panels for HATCH...
lmdew replied to Allouez's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Several hatches in the yard by me. They get 30 per fender. The rear qtr. will have to be cut out, won't they? Add shipping from 80919, Colorado Springs. -
As far as I know it should work fine, but if anyone has tips or problems solved please let me know. Car I'm fixing 92 Wagon 1.8 3sp auto trans FWD is bad. Found a 88 GL wagon 1.8 5sp MT FWD I did this swap on a 93 to 92 Legacy but not the older Subarus. Things Needed: Trans and aft mounts Shifter and trim Clutch/brake box and pedals Clutch cable Clutch Kit flywheel and bolts Starter Speedo cable That should be it as far as I know. I believe the swap is straight forward. Thanks for the info

Make sure the bracket that holds the water pipe is not bent. If it is, the pipe does not slide far enough into the pump. A shop that did my headgaskets once spent a week trying to fix the leak. I finally got the car back and a week later it started leaking. After pulling a pound of RTV off the pump and pipe and fixing the bracket which they bent, life was good.

Timing problem ?
lmdew replied to Mr2old's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
Make sure you check the marks after the tensioner has been able to do its job. I just did a 2.2 belt and triple checked the marks. All looked fine even after turning it over by hand a few times, but it ran just like yours. Pulled it apart and the marks were off. Reset the timing and Life was good. Good Luck -
Do you still have the Car? I need a good 2WD Auto for a 90 Loyal. Lmdew@hotmail.com Would take the whole car if you think it would make it to Colorado. Thanks, Larry
