  1. Awesome, thank you. I have a scanner with a live data function, I just don't really know how to use it except to check for dtcs
  2. I'm dropping the exhaust again because the header vibrates on the sway bar. That's why I'm curious about the orientation of the wires. I don't know the brand of the header, I'm just gonna "massage" it a little with a ball pien hammer. Can't go grinding on the sway bar haha.
  3. Hey guys, I'm back with another question about this car. I swapped the lift, and the header over from a 99 same car i had but got rid of. Like an idiot, I didn't disconnect the pre cat o2 sensor, and when I dropped the exhaust to remove the manifold to cat bolts, I forgot to disconnect the o2 sensor. The wires pulled out from the male connector, but the terminals stayed connected. I plugged them in the way I thought they were supposed to be oriented and I haven't had a cel. I know the male end of the connection is supposed to be there to prevent moisture. My question is (till I get a new sensor) are the 2 white wires supposed to go into a specific spot, or are they interchangeable? Thank you for any help, I appreciate you guys.
  4. How would I find out what size trailing arm spacers I need for the lift i have? I have an ADF lift on my 98 Legacy Outback, I believe it's 2" (I'm not the original purchaser of the lift). Should I just measure the gap between the front of the rear tire and the fender, then compare it with the rear of the tire?
  5. Hi guys. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Delay mode stops working after a few wipes. Low and high work fine. Do I need to replace the whole switch arm in the column, or can I fix the one I already have?
  6. I can probably remove the pipe and clean it up with some sand paper, but the hose that goes to the tank is my main concern.
  7. My car is leaking fuel while filling. I just cleaned 35 years worth or dirt away from the hose and pipe and saw the pipe is rusted pretty good. Does anyone know where to find the parts to fix this? Rock auto doesn't have anything, and I can't find anything at the auto parts stores.
  8. Hey guys, I apologize for no updates yet. I've been busy with a couple projects around the house and haven't had a chance to get to the car. I appreciate the replies and information you've given.
  9. I replaced the CTS back before I found out the MAF was faulty, it's the one with the green plug. And the IAC was cleaned out when IL pulled the engine to reseal it and do the clutch swap. I'll check both of those again though this weekend.
  10. Ok, I didn't think WD would work. I'll check that out in a little bit.
  11. Just spray some starting fluid around the motor while it's running?
  12. I was thinking of throwing my timing light back on it to make sure that's perfect, and also re calibrating my TPS. I just did that recently though.
  13. Hey guys I'm back. My 89 GL used to not idle at all upon cold start. After finally replacing the MAF it would idle. It would idle high upon startup then drop down to normal once the car was warm. I recently pulled the engine to replace the clutch among other things, but now it doesn't idle high anymore on a cold start. I did the work in September if I remember correctly, and I've been daily driving it since. It runs well just won't warm up in the mornings. Is there anything you can think of that maybe I missed or need to replace?
  14. Ok, that's unfortunate. I'll try to check for bad connections and or relay. Thank you for the replies.
