    It’s a good possibility that the throttle shaft has play in it, which is causing the throttle to hang open. It’s a 40 year old carburetor and no doubt worn. You can try hosing down the carburetor, especially around the throttle shaft, with carburetor cleaner. It might help it.

    Yes. When the idle mix screw is turned in, you richen the mixture. With vacuum leaks it leans out the mixture.

    What’s it doing or not doing?
  4. 88SubGL
    Is it burning it or leaking it?

    Replacing the bumper cover may hide most of the damage. You really need to know what you’re doing though, when you start cutting and welding on a unibody car.

    Time to break out the test light. Turn the key to the position, accessory or on, that you’re wanting power and find the fuse that is powered when it’s in that position. I don’t suggest hooking it to any of the engine related systems.

    Nice car. Vintage looks with EJ power, awesome!

    That sounds like an awesome build. It would be nice to see pictures of the rest of the car.

    I did read it and it was not clear. Maybe adding the words dash or instrument panel would have made it clearer.

    So your 4 ways flash but your turn signals, the lights come on but don’t flash? If that’s what’s happening, I would suggest taking the 4 way flasher unit and swapping it with the regular turn signal flasher and see if it works. It won’t cost you anything if doesn’t make a difference.

    Of course, that could be a non-interference engine and in that case, I have no idea.

    Did it run after the new timing belt? Was it running good before the timing belt was changed? If it was running before the timing belt change, I’m guessing that the belt was installed incorrectly and it bent a valve on each of those cylinders, thus no compression.

    Without pictures, it’s hard to know, but it sounds like most of the damage is to pieces that bolt on. If the radiator support is bent, you might be able to use a come-a-long and a tree to help straighten it out.

    Wow! I wish I had a garage that big.

    Why not offer to buy the pieces you want off of this engine? The worst he could say is no.
  16. 88SubGL
    You really didn’t specify what the problem was?

    Attach an Apple air tag to the remaining key, so that if she loses it, she might be able to find it. I did this for my wife’s ‘17 Legacy and my daughter’s ‘02 Outback sedan. It’s come in handy a couple of times.

    If this car wasn’t fuel injected, I would say that the float bowl was running dry. I’m thinking that this is a fuel delivery issue, unfortunately on this vehicle I’m not sure how to prove my theory. You might research how to test the fuel pump. Changing the fuel filter might be a good first step, it’s a lot cheaper than a maf sensor.

    I don’t know what Subaru’s go for there, but around here, with the issues you mentioned, $2500-3000.

    If I understand correctly, in addition to changing the studs you’re running a different set of wheels and tires? If that’s the case, then the tires are probably out of balance. Also it’s not a good idea to have tires that are different diameters.

    From the picture, that’s a nice truck, especially for Minnesota.

    I assume that if it’s not hydraulic, it’s a cable. Could the cable be broken? Look at where it attaches to the to the clutch fork, have someone press the clutch pedal and see if the fork moves.

    Looks good, for plaid!

    Only order with a specific part number. I’ll look at Advance or Autozone for the correct part number and then see who has the best price. You also have to watch out for counterfeit parts on Amazon.

    That’s a great looking car for a 1986. You can, but I wouldn’t recommend it, not for any distance. It’s primarily for loose road conditions, like snow or gravel.
