greenieman7 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 If this has been addressed before, please direct me, but could anyone provide a purge control solenoid ohm value for a 1993 Legacy? I want to temp replace my defective one with a resistor to get rid of my error code. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm not sure that would work but I suppose you can try it. Here's a link to the FSM for 92. Should be close enough I think. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/1992_FSM_(Engine_&_Electrical)/ I assume you're getting CEL with a code for the Purge control valve?

greenieman7 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thank you 4 the link; yes code 35, all ready checked resistance through purge control solenoid and it is shot. Not sure about the resistor idea either, but thank you for the link; found the ohm value (36 at 68F). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenieman7 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I found this link just now, in case anybody is interested. Thank you http://ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79633 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenieman7 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Just as a follow up in case its of interest to anyone, yes the above did work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Nice. Learn a new trick every day on this site. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I didn't want to reply and tell you the resistance value that I know work for the EA82's in case the EJ one's were different - I was 99% sure they were the same but I figured someone would tell you for certain. Nice to know they are the same as the one's I've used for the SPFI stuff. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenieman7 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 That's cool! Thank you. I will probably post another question on 19913 Legacy A Transmissions, but while Im here, does anyone know of existing threads? Specifically, I believe there is a sticky valve in the valve body and want to ping others experience in this area. I can be more specific, but am in the wrong thread and dont want to get too wordy.

Olnick Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 By all means start a new thread to ask transmission questions. But in the meantime you can start doing some basic research--use the search function to unlock a treasure of past experience and help. Good luck.

GeneralDisorder Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Try a simple flush - drain and refill the tranny twice - driving 10 miles in between. This assures that you get the fluid out of the TC. You will need about 3 gallons of ATF. Cheap stuff is fine for ATF. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 By all means start a new thread to ask transmission questions. Yeah - a good idea for sure. But it's his thread so he *could* go edit the title to include transmission Q's. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD I'm going to start one more thread ever on this board and every time I need new info I'm gonna drag it up and edit the title so all the info I ever get will be in one place.

Unfortunately - once they reach a certain age you can't edit them anymore GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
