So, the order of things was ... Replaced fuse. Didn't change anything. Replaced bulb. Didn't change anything. Checked fusible link. Didn't change anything. Tore the dash apart, checked, unplugged, and replugged all connections. Didn't change anything. Pulled out the switch on the top of the column. Put it back in. All is well.

Nope, no parking lights. I have headlights, and brake lights. No parking/marker lights. I was playing with the switch earlier, but to tell you the truth, I'm just dumb as far as the electronics in these things. Speaking of parts, do you have any tires lying around? :-p The ones that I have on my car have dryrot, so I don't trust them beyond FC.

Whoa! I drove to Laramie one day when I was depressed! I was just exploring, then was like "Whoa! I'm no longer in Colorado!" LOL Heck yeah we'll have to hang out. And, if you were coming down to help out sometime, I'd gladly pay for gas.

The fuse is good. I replaced it with a new one, but that didn't help. I'm certain it works because the tail lights and instrument panel lights are on the same fuse. The fusible link is good. If I pull it, then I have no headlights. When I put it back in the headlights still work. Brake lights are good. Reverse lights are good. Headlights are good.

I only seem to have this trouble at lower RPMs. When I finally get it up and going in first gear, shifting to second gear, then to third isn't an issue at all. That's why I didn't lean towards it being the clutch. However, when I come upon a stop and start slowing down, it loses all power again.

I realize it's supposed to be pretty gutless, but I also don't think that it's supposed to take over a minute to get the car actually rolling. I will check the spark on all the plugs and see how that works out. I will grab my book and check into the vacuum line going the secondary barrel actuator. Yeah, it revs pretty well at idle. It's just nearly impossible to get moving, but once it's up to speed, it works fine. Heaven forbid I slow down at all, tho.

I'm relatively new to working on Subarus, and carbureted engines as a whole. I bought a 1987 DL wagon, EA82 engine, and manual transmission. Thus far, I've replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter, replaced the timing belts, radiator, distributor cap ... we've regapped the plugs, adjusted the idle, and timed this beast. Also fixed a vacuum leak or two. While in some ways everything I've done to this car has made it better, I've absolutely no low end power. It idles OK, and when I can finally get it up and running, it really flies. But, off of the line, I have a seriously difficult time getting ANY power at all. I essentially have to hold down the gas pedal and let out the clutch and just hold on until it's moving into the higher RPMs. I'm not sure where to go from here. If anyone can either recommend a solution, or point me to a forum thread that would give me some direction, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance, PK
