  1. Put the other bolts back in to share the load and then use a 6 point box end wrench.
  2. no electrical input. if you have the 2 section rear drive shaft, drop out the last section. make sure the front and rear diffs are the same.
  3. put a dollar bill very close to the exhaust. if it gets pulled back into the pipe while running you have a bennt valve or hg leak
  4. MAF if it idles fine but has on power when you step on the gas
  5. Yep, those toothed idlers are the ones that fail most of the time. 96 2.5 99 2.2 93 2.2 95 2.2 These are the motors just this year that I have seen with that failure and I just do this for fun. All ran with just new timing parts, no bent valves on the 96 and 99!
  6. Glad your OK. Could always by it back from the insurance and keep the engine and other good parts for you next one.
  7. I've done them on 93-96 Legacy's and everything bolts right in so you should be fine.
  8. Plug and Play. The connectors are pretty standard. Some of the new new ones have different connectors. Most of the Single and Double DIN will all plug and play.
  9. I love Colorado Cars! Pretty much rust free. Let me know when you need a good one!
  10. Search this form, lots of info out there already. The other option is to drop in a 95 2.2 with EGR. Usually cheaper and you have a better engine when you are done IMHO. Again lots of 2.5 to 2.2 engine swap info is you search.
  11. Go to the Local Self Serve yard and pull an interior. Easy to do and Cheaper than trying to get them professionally cleaned.
  12. if you only jumped the car and then only had short trips you battery may still be very low. I'd get it charged. Short trips don't do much for charging the battery to a full state.
  13. Before you even start, use only NGK and or Subaru Plugs and wires. - you can swap wires 1 to 3 and see if the fault follows. - Plugs, if you are going to pull them you may as well change them. - Could be a fuel problem as well, think fuel filter, injector. The Injector can be swapped. You didn't provide the year and head configuration. Mileage would also be helpful. Subaru coils hardly ever fail and I'd go used Subaru over aftermarket. I have plenty of 96-99 DOHC coils. $25 shipped.
  14. If he works on Subaru's he'll reseal the rear breather plate on the back of the engine. Just mention it to him. Oil Pump inside cover plate screws loctie and new oring.
  15. Get the Driveshaft ujoints checked. If they fail, it could take out the tail shaft of the trans. Subaru will tell you they are not replaceable but they are. There was a thread on this just a couple of weeks ago. Larry
  16. I don't have any time until the first week of AUG, but if you can live with it that long, I'd be happy to take a look for you. Larry
